Guild Wars 2

Was reading forums earlier today and after i got annoyed by ½ being some 1 liners like “l2p issue/go back to wow/obvious troll is obvious” I replied to one of them by quoting him and asking why he picked just that1 out of them all.

Well after some hours I log back in to check if there is something new and i got a private message waiting, regarding the post i described above:

Moderator Notes:

Do not respond to trolls.

The message was deleted.

Now what kind of message does that send to you?:D

It must have been a joke, right?

Then why arent those ‘troll posts’ ever deleted? All i read here is ‘just dodge it’ and ‘practice harder noob’.

There’s really no message in that instruction. There’s a deliberate directive. If a person agitates you with a post, no matter the animitity or urge to engage, just ignore it. Now it’s really hard to do, and we all slip up. But continual exercise of said admonishment will eventually, if so desired, get you to a jubilal place of posting enlightenment.

It’s neither common place nor easy by no means. But once you reach that state of mind you quickly become not just a better becon of forum delight, you also realize the trivial matters often times cease to exist if flames are no longer given breath.

It is said that every time a troll goes unnoticed, unicorns are born!

We do not want you to ignore troll posts, we want you to report them. The moderation team is incapable of reading every single post on the forum. Please report trolls so we can review the situation and act accordingly.
