I was playing my necro and just trying to catch up with my commander as a Baruch Mesmer intercepted me. We had a pretty good fight that i barely won. I felt really great about myself for being victorious and moved on.
Just a few seconds later i received a whisper from that guy, calling me names and told me that he reported me for botting. O_o
What the….
I made some screenshots but still can’t believe this. How can someone be such a bad sport?! Is that how the game is played these days?
I seriously hope there is a penalty for false reports and such mischievous behaviour.
ps: Why is it that you can*t use any skills except the first when big zergs are clashing together? Isn*t that the purpose of wvw? Fighting in large numbers?
I had two similar experiences when my server last faced BB. One was when running double thief and took on 7 BB. After winning that encounter, one Thief in that group sent some hate mail, accused us of hacking and reported us.
So don’t feel bad it’s kinda common with BB.

Yea same happened to me on my thief. I killed a group of FSR players and one guy pms me saying Im speedhacking…?! Is that even possible? I run mostly zerk with Traveler’s run and he wouldn’t believe me even after I linked him my gears… lol I noticed it happened once when I stealthed into a tower after an enemy zerg rolled through it and I capped it after they left and a guy reported me for soloing the tower!? I stopped for a while and I just started playing again… Is guildwars 2 that bad that everyone accuses each other of hacking now? Shame…
It is a compliment. Just the same when someone emotes you. Or throws siege prints on you.
Usually when someone throws siege on you, it’s because you’re the one who died…
If a couple of thieves gank me and fail, I ALWAYS /laugh, same goes towards PU perplex mesmers while they furiously cast Winds Of Chaos on me from that kitteny little staff auto attack that does absolutely kitten all….
I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.
….. And Elementalist.
Well look at it this way, that person is playing a Mesmer (of all things) and managed to lose to someone using a zerg build. Nothing but shame induced salt.
Part of the problem is the perception that little done about hacking so that when a player sees there something they do not understand mechanics wise it must be a hack in their minds.
This mentality not limited to Guild wars. If a mechanic scams you for a repair bill in real life the honest mechanics have to deal with the blowback in that they are not trusted.
Yes, people who lose who normally win on their super OP class build will do that. happens quite often. ANET won’t do anything, hell they don’t ban real cheaters/exploiters after they have been caught red handed for months to years doing it. So don’t worry.
Since someone mentioned this: I throw siege on anyone plying a FoTM or FoTY class/build when they lose.
He is abusing the report feature and if he does this enough (and judging by the comments he is a salty fellow so you’re not the only one) he’s the one in trouble, not you.
I would suggest in the future when this happens that you take a screenshot and share it with friends. (Don’t post it on this forum, it’s against the rules, but yea…)
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Just learn to ignore them, and/or report them back for abuse. A while back people were reporting me for so many stupid things, like mist-form and Elixir S stomping, super speed + rocket boots and so on. At the beginning I was always trying to explain that I was doing nothing wrong, but after a while I just stopped caring…
They didnt report you, just something a sore loser says.
This seems more likely. If your worried about what a sore loser “told you” he did something, don’t worry about it. It is known thay they have suspended players accounts for abusing the report system.
It logs all the chat, before and after a report for a certain amount of text or dialog. So if he did report you, then expressed that he did it for an underhanded reason, he just told on himself.

Comes down to the whole “but I couldn’t lose” …. “wait, if I lost, he must be hacking!”
People threaten to report others (and actually do) for this all the time. Ignore it.
The problem isn’t that someone reported you, someone from anet can check and ignore the report.
The issue is that anet still hasn’t fixed the ability for people to whisp players of the other side in WvW. They could do this simply by disabling the /w command in WvW. To be honest they could disable it everywhere.

its a classic response im use to on ranger also , that mesmer was playing under the assumption that Necro is a easy Target and does not consider the player behind the character.

And how should my buddies ask me to marry them without whisperers?
Btw you can turn it off for yourself, just uncheck it in all chat windows.
You have to remember that mesmer is super OP in roaming right now. They won’t be happy when they lose because it means they are bad. Easier to just blame it on the other person cheating.
Everyone needs to drop siege on every and all FoTM/FoTY class builds that die. Heck, I even do it to guys on my own side! It is great fun, great stress relief, and when they report you enough they get a ban stick. WIN-WIN Woot!
Just reply with multiple “u mad ?” followed by “lets hug it out bro”, then enjoy the lawls as you can imagine them going beat red and screaming, possibly punching their monitor.
It’s not enough to beat them in game, you have to destroy them mentally as well.
I just have to say that i really appreciate all the kind words. So not all hope in humanity and respectful behaviour is lost i suppose ;-)
Thank you all.
I just received another whisper from a Shiverpeaks player if i am mongoloid and reported THAT for being an absuse obviously. But oh boy… Why are there such bad sports in a competitive game?! If one of these guys would just dare to be so bold to say me something like this to my face… but i seriously doubt that.
Ps: what really bugs me is that something like this is definitely not a kidfriendly environment
GW2 from my understanding is not meant to be “kid-friendly” it is an adult game and so if a kid is going to play it or a kid’s parents allow them to play it then they are making the decision to potentially expose their children to it. Unfortunately there’s really nothing you can do to stop it besides turning on the chat filter. But I myself am honestly okay with a lack of super young players as they tend to be fairly negative in the community as well and I’m sure most people here just don’t want to deal with having to block THAT many people every time we play this game.
On another note, next time someone rage pm’s you for winning a fight just type “play better” and watch the walls of text appear as you literally feel their rage through the monitor. It’s so worth the abuse you get lol.

Don´t worry, Mesmers are so faceroll these days, that they are not accustomed to losing a fight. So naturally this guy thought that you must be cheating because otherwise you couldn´t have won. The best way to deal with such kind of people is to ignore them, since the reports are reviewed by a human nothing will happen to your account if you did nothing.
