Guild Wars 2

For a long time now on my server in WvW
There are two people there who just act like complete trolls
They will constantly spam mapchat, downright insult other people ,constantly tag on and off on the map (but for now i would like to keep them nameless) and i know that just blocking them is an option but as of late they have started just wasting keep/tower supplies by building several rams in the middle of the courtyard and cap the local siege limit so no useful siege can be used
Myself and alot of the guild report them almost daily, and I’m sure many others in the server have aswell, but only the spamming as its the only suitable option and nothing seems to be done about them

Is there a way to contact a dev or something and see if anything can be done here?
Or do i just have to sit and watch them ruin the experience for the rest of the server?

pretty sure this happens often, i have seen it as well. People throwing down useless siege over the siege that we are trying to build gets old FAST.

At least for WvW, that number appears to have been disconnected a long time ago.

If you post guilds or names here you will be infracted.

report them for abusive behavior. <—-this is the most accurate report for this and i think Anet also takes it the most serious.

It’s amazing how persistant some of these trolls are. Must just have the emptiest lives ever.

Anet do not seem to often ban players for this kind of thing, I had 30+ players report a troll once and he was never warned or banned even after openly swearing on map chat and sabotaging our attacks by suiciding our golems and placing siege ontop of ours

there is nothing more demotivating that having an attack fail because of a player like that.

There’s nothing you can do because Anet doesn’t act on reports unless it directly affects their precious gemstore.

Yep. You can bet that they would be quick to bring out the ban hammer, i remember at the start of the game when people were buying stuff with Karma and then selling they all got Perma bans, of course that was reduced to 3 day bans eventually.

So why so quick to stop that but nothing else? It says a lot, they ONLY care for the Gemstore. You can bet within HOURS they would be reacting if someone found out how to hack/glitch the gemstore though.

thanks for the responses and i’m sad to get the impression that Anet is unwilling to do anything about these people
Just got in WvW and saw them piloting golems and jumping them off cliffs and started building about 5 or so rams inside our keep along with insulting others

Hopefully something can be done about this soon

The ppl that do this kind of trolling are players from another server which is not doing very well in wvw or has had its ego bashed in.

I wonder how prevalent this type of griefing is. I’m guessing quite a few matchups have trolls/spies doing this.

On our server we have one player like this. Killing golems/wasting supplies, insulting people in team/map chat… for months. We reported and reported, and reported him… and nothing ever happened.
I even made a support ticket recently. The 1st reply was that they were investigating, the 2nd was that we should use the ingame report system, because all reports from it are immediately sent to their “team”. …………. After I replied, when asked for feedback on the “problem resolution”, that I am not happy at all, the 3rd reply was: “We are currently looking for ways to solve the issue with trollers but we have not found a good solution for the isuse since the same ideas that are supposed to help players are causing that players abuse of the system. This has been reported to the Development Team in order to find a possible solution to the issue.”
Sigh…

Interesting. So they are willing to indiscriminately mass ban supposed exploiters only to reinstate a few days later, but refuse to do anything at all in these situations.

Well that and they probably realized those people could spent real money on gems and were attempting to remedy the bad image.

Also WvW isn’t high on their radar because it’s not a money maker.

Players on my ignorelist should not be able to use my siegecraft. If a building (keep, camp, etc.) is owned by a guild, players on the guild leader’s ignorelist should not be able to use the building’s resources.

Great, so now troll guilds could own a 1700sups Garri and don’t let anyone use them.

i know a player like this. sadly he is from my country. once he killed dozens of golems. went up in a high place and jumped down. the whole community raged after that day.
