Guild Wars 2

So i found a precursor and spammed in chat like “OMFG OMFG OMFG” and then the game says “you have been suspended for 72 hours”. Seriously? Would nice to know a good reason for suspend. please

I said the “OMFG” 4 times in /say chat and in guild chat

Erm….. big change that it was the reason for your suspension. And please don’t come with the filter argument

havent ever seen anyone got banned for saying OMFG before this

I have. Let’s explain a bit. a lot of young people say OMFG or F….. yeah! This is however a generation thing. For those young generations it is rather normal to say that, and I know it isn’t said to intend the maining of a celestial being engaged in reproductional behaviour.

However for some older generations it is not a normal thing to say.
On top of that it is only popular by the younger generations in what is called ‘modern’ world. In more traditional community’s it is still seen as very unrespectfull.

Last off all, for many christians, the meaning behind it is offensive and it violates their believes.

This is a game played by many generations from all over the world and with all kind of backgrounds. Guilds are there to group together with people who are like you. But when talking in public you are kindly asked to communicate in a way that is not disturbing by anyone. On top of that you actually agreed to do so when you agreed with the user agreement.

Personally I don’t have an issue with the use of this word, but I totally can see how others can get shocked by it. So thanks for understanding.

thanks for the nice answer, it is just quite rare to find a Spark precursor that costs over 500 gold, so my first reaction is to do a small freakout. I sended gw2 support a question to get the exact words that got me banned to see if those were the ones.

So if i would get a proper reason for ban if it wasn’t that.

You guys all realize you used the exact same abbreviation the OP may/or may not have got banned for in your forum posts? =D

The people that play the game and find it offensive are likely to find it offensive if used in the forums as well…. just sayin’

I’m thinking of a particular scene from Southpark where Cartman says a bad word and then Kyle/Stan/Kenny each repeat it when while telling him not to use it…

Congrats on the precursor btw.
