Guild Wars 2

Been almost 2 years now.

Still have no reporting option for “pulled tact in WvW to be a troll”.

Still have no log of who pulled X tactic.

Don’t say “don’t set it to be public”, because that’s not an option if you want to be able to cover your kitten on a server that has limited coverage at different times of the day.

Also, it would be nice if guilds could ban certain people from using tactics on places they claim.

Or you know what would be a good idea?

How about build an alliance white list that can pull “non-public” tactics on a server. That way if an enemy guild happens to claim something on your server & set it to private, people on the alliance white list can still pull tactics they set. (Yes, that has happened before)

At this point I’m just kicking around ideas that anyone who spent more than an hour in WvW could have come up with. Can we get something done about this already?

How is the enemy server able to claim your structures anyway?

Don’t tell me about the mechanics, as I know : troll account and repping the guild. I get the base mechanics.

But how do they rate enough damage on your server to be in the claim priority list over your guilds?

If they are that high up in the claim priority List, you are kittened anyway because if they are that populated on your server, or you are that scarce on your server, then tactics are the least of your worries.

Don’t rely on tactivators. 2 years into expansion and theres still new/old people coming back to game that dont know what they do. So they pull them. Ask any big WvW guild and theres bound to be people that dont even know what claiming does or how to put tactics in. People are so clueless about simple things

I have even seen my guild mates pull tactivator thinking its a supp depot in bay…. And its not even close to supp depot…

Anyways to err is human, so you shall forgive.

Theres no way telling trolls apart from clueless/new people.

At least they ban people for building troll siege if caught.

The actual answer is embarrassing for the guilds.
The guild previously claiming it claims something else, without realizing it. Leaving it open for any guild to claim.

And boom, trolls nabbed it.

Admittedly, that one is less of a problem and more of a flat out embarrassment for the guild that let it go.

But the alliance white list is still a somewhat reasonable idea.

I say somewhat, because maintaining such a list is unquestionably time consuming.

I just feel like the devs need to do something about this already, even if it’s some off the wall idea that’s difficult to maintain.

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a whitelist such as you describe, and yes, I’ve seen what you describe happen on structures before. I’ve been the cause of it also…

Yeah this was a problem for me today and I had a fairly awful experience. I previously wasn’t sure what the tactivators did, having only been going at WvW for a week or so, but I knew at least, to just leave them the hell alone and had planned to wiki it at some point. But I let my young sibling on my account briefly today while I was out of the room, and told him he could go and find some enemy players to try and kill if he wanted. Five minutes later, he saw the levers and pulled them all and I got flamed into the ground for it. Even worse is that when trying to explain what had happened, people called me out for being a liar, and even said I was working against the server.

Needless to say, I think more control and restrictions should be put on the tactivators so a similar thing doesn’t happen to others. Now I’m discouraged from WvW for such a silly series of events because a whole bunch of people on my server have taken a disliking to me for doing it.

And I want to say, I hope people will have more forgiveness in their hearts. We’re not all trolls who are trying to mess things up.
