It seems to be all the rage nowadays for less reputable groups to send a player to be assigned to an enemy server for the sole purpose of causing dissent, distraction, drama and chaos on the enemy server.
When it crosses the line of espionage into verbal harassment it isn’t “a legit” tactic, but flat out harassment and a danger to the entire Wv3 community.
Making racial or religious slanderous remarks trying to bait people into political debates over government policy as well as religious hot topics are only the tip of the iceburg of why this is driving people not just from a server but from WvW as a whole.
Last night when the server didn’t take the bait of the normal "Aradea is just a spy for ‘them’, don’t listen to her don’t take portals "Which is personal harassment enough on it’s own… and much of the same with other known server names and leaders replaced, the griefer went on to call me and others “satanic pedophiles”, referring to taking slaves using many inappropriate terminology that passes the “Kitten” filter.
For hours he was reported for both spam and verbal abuse as he not only used the inappropriate verbal griefing but put it on cut and paste changing it slightly each time. It should not take hours and days to get someone like that removed or banned from the wvw and game.
There needs to be a stricter punishment for verbal abuse/grief reports in the very least, not to mention disallowing same tier competitive server from transferring to each other. This is full out verbal abuse, griefing, harassment not some neat espionage tactic.
The answer is not “grow thicker skin”, “get over it, it’s just a joke”, as most people didn’t take the bait, but it drives people from the game regardless, to expect play in this atmosphere, and it’s not funny. It has been escalating over the last few weeks from these guys and many are about done with WvW because of it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
