I started messing around with sPvP again after a long time. I remember seeing some toxic players here and there and seems like they are still there. Not that often but they exist. People get called “idiots”, “pve noobs” or “you are a joke” if you can’t kill someone. I usually ignore them or half jokingly start a conversation with them. I’m not going to flame back at them though.
But when it’s okay to report? I reported one guy from Verbal Abuse but when does it count as such? Are “idiot” and “pve noob” enough? I just don’t want to abuse the report system so that’s why I’m asking.
I rarely report, but when I do, I probably test it as such: Assume I am playing with a friend, does said troll language/behavior make me feel embarrassed about the GW2 community?

You must be new here :p Nobody gets banned for trashtalking. You can’t “abuse” the system because nobody cares about these reports. As long as something doesn’t damage the economy or isn’t terribly racist, nothing will be done. If it makes you feel better you can still report them but don’t expect anything.
I always insult them back 2 times harder because I am not wise at all, even when it’s not addressed to me, even if I am perfectly aware “they started it first” is childish.
I also report/block. I am sure they report me back, and I never got banned for my overreactions, so I am also sure the report system is just useless.
Anyone who can’t take his part of a defeat and prefer to insult his team is just the first guilty of the failure he want to reject : he played against his own team and out of it the whole time and finally prove it at the end.
I don’t think the community is toxic. Just some players are. And reporting is so easy that it got me wondering what I should and should not report. And that’s what you SHOULD do, right? Block, report, move on. That’s what I’m doing.

Talking kitten is part of competing. Dale Earnhardt ( famous NASCAR competitor ) once publicly advised his fellow drivers to tie gasoline soaked rags around their ankles while racing, “So the ants don’t crawl up and eat that candy kitten.”
It does get out of hand, but I don’t see that cracking down on it would do any good and it might damage the community. Nobody likes an excessively restrictive game.
If someone starts talking smack about Race/sexual orientation/religious beliefs/ etc, you can report. If someone is RUDE i doubt there’s anything you can do. I know the feeling, when someone rude starts without repercussions, it’s annoying, and you wanna smack them down, but you can’t. Just block and move on.
