Guild Wars 2

I am having this issue in every area of the game. Having typed nothing whatsoever in the chat pane the entire session tonight, I have had to restart the game no less than 7 times this evening because my abilities stop working and every time I press a button, the name of the ability appears in a word balloon over the characters head, and the chat read “message suppressed due to excessive messaging.” very frustrating, especially in pvp when my only option is to exit the game which ports me back to the pvp area upon return…any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Kind of sounds like your Ctrl or Alt button is stuck on.

The CTRL key sounds like it is becoming stuck. When you hold CTRL and click on a skill (or item) then that skill is linked to the chat and your skill does not fire off. Perhaps it is due to grime or other obstructing material that causes the key to activate unintentionally. You could unplug your keyboard and then pop your CTRL keys off and thoroughly clean beneath them with a tissue or cotton swab (slightly damp if there is grime) in case there is something between the key and the contact pad. Then pop the key back on and see if it solves the problem. In my experiences it has usually been either a buildup of grime/dust or a crumb from chips or something.

To pop the keys off you can use a flathead screwdriver inserted under each side (or other such objects) and tilt them to pop it up.
