Guild Wars 2

I know some people who argue that servers camping jumping puzzles and controlling the areas is against the terms of service because it is “malicious denial” of an area from other players. I happen to think that the areas are just another area to be controlled and while it is annoying to deal with other players if all I am really interested in is badges, I don’t think its an unacceptable area for players to control.

I would appreciate an official response because I know people who report players for camping jumping puzzles and I would rather not see them banned for misuse of the report feature in the game.

Thanks for your time if anyone can point me to this question as someone else may have previously asked with an official response.

the enemy server took my keep, halp i can’t get in.

i report enemy defenders for ‘malicious denial’ of entry to the JP.

The official response has been included in the game.

It takes the form of trigger-able booby traps in the EB puzzle, clearly indicating that the area is meant to be contested and that denying progress to enemies is not only valid but strongly encouraged.

It’s ok to camp JP. If you can, do it to them too. It’s just fair that both of you can do it. I always jump the EB puzzle. When I say always it’s everyday for 6 months now (maybe missing a day or 2 if the time of my chest reset is too ridiculous for me to be awake). Sometimes enemies camp in there and I get killed so I come back some other time.

Anet may have made some stupid decisions with this game (Countless),

But they are not completely braindead.
They put the JP in a PvP zone, they knew exactly what was going to happen.
And I am glad they did.

Getting a couple people together and breaking through enemy campers (They’re not usually that great) is extremely satisfying, and it makes the JP camping you do yourself for the next hour feel well earned :P

Its usually not that hard to break campers, just bring more people than them

I actually do not attack anyone in the JP unless they attack first, then I will kill them

hell I often group up with other servers mesmers to chat while waiting to portal people up

but to the op question no I do not think campers should get banned, it should get them targeted to get camped themselves but thats about it

It’s a pvp area. Get out...
