Guild Wars 2

Mind boggled how my account can be suspended for language for 70 hours.

I received no email confirming this, so I don’t even know what I said.

Additionally I see people with way dirtier mouths communicating in map chats on a daily basis during PVP, so unless this company plans on giving out unequal justice you might as well ban every tournament participant.

Put a profanity filter on instead of reporting people, this is system is pathetic.

Ya, probably 50% of the game will be banned for langauge at least once in the next few months. Apparently A-Net lives in the 50s.

The system is fine, the way people choose to behave is not.

They don’t live in the 50s you wouldn’t go into a restaurant and scream profanity so you shouldn’t in open chat either. And if you WOULD do that the restaurant is well within their rights to make you leave, in fact they are within their rights to tell you to never come back.

The problem is the generation of people that think they should get to do or say whatever they want in public without any responsibility or repercussions.

People should CHOOSE to use the profanity filter.

This has nothing to do with profanity, but the act of insulting/harassing/misbehaving.

I never screamed any profanity I just said it I didn’t use capitals and I don’t get how you kittens don’t understand that language changes over time it has nothing to do with people acting out or anything. When most people use a word that you would consider “inappropriate” they mean nothing by it it is just like any other word in the english dictionary.

I for one am glad they are taking stringent measures. The one thing I couldn’t stand about WoW the short time I did play it was the abusive community. Good riddance.

GaileGray.9587:

Players who think that the profanity filter is a tool that allows them to swear are mistaken. The filter is designed as a measure of protection for those who choose to use it, but it was never intended to replace good ol’ respect and common sense on the part of all members of the GW2 community.

I like Drintar’s analogy. I’ve seen other apt comments here, as well. Basically, think of the game as being no different than any other setting that involves a lot of people. You wouldn’t curse and swear in a public setting (or if you did, you would probably be asked to leave). You should not do so in a game.

Guild Wars 2 is a game that reaches around the globe and includes members of diverse races, cultures, genders, and age groups. We intend to keep the game environment friendly and welcoming for everyone. Please join us in that effort.

I swear like a sailor among friends and such but I really don’t understand all of the people who think they have some right to do so anywhere they like in-game. I used to be like that too, when I was a young teenager. Maybe that’s what the issue is.

I agree. This is a necessary step to improve our community. This game imported a lot of players from games which allowed their communities to become cesspools of bad behavior without punishment. People have to become adequated to the new rules.
