Guild Wars 2

Team Killing/Destructive Behavior in WvW Jump Puzzle

Today as I did the jump puzzle in WvW, upon reaching the final parts of the puzzle I ran thought the small fire-breathing head area and was almost killed, at first I thought it was an enemy but upon leaving that part of the puzzle I noticed an ally activating the trap.

I wouldn’t have really minded it if it were an accident when there are enemies around, however, we had owned all 3 keeps in Battlegrounds for about an hour, so I have doubts about there being any enemies in the jump puzzle at all, even if there was 1 or 2, sitting at that point in the puzzle spamming a trap shouldn’t be necessary.

After about 5 more players ran through, 2 of which were downed and another that tried to revive them also got killed, had come through we began to ask why the player was using the traps, they did not respond at all and just kept spamming the fire trap. This may not be a large issue for some classes however light armor users die very quickly from the damage, and the slow almost makes you fail the next jump. We tried to report the player however there was no way to do so as the only way you can report a player is for the following,

• Botting
• Inappropriate Player Name
• Spamming
• Verbal Abuse
• Scamming
• Selling Gold

So unfortunately there was no way to stop the player from spamming the traps and disadvantaging fellow players. I know that this may not be a common issue however it is very destructive to others game play and has no benefit to nobody at all. I would like to know if there is some way to stop this from happening, the only way I know to stop this is to have someone else sit on the trap but this would be a waste of their time.
