Guild Wars 2

i just sent a ticket because i have been banned and i dont understand why and now this ‘Reblocking as hacked due to petition from legitimate IP location.’ is popping up above my ticket, anyone have an idea as to what it means?

I am guessing it’s saying you send a ticket ( via legimate IP location which is where you usually login from ) and they are treating it as your account might have been compromised so they are doing more to investigate the account ?

oh so iv been hacked then got banned?

That is my guess from what you posted. If you are indeed hacked, chances are your account is used for bad purpose. They will investigate the account and return it back to you once all the issues are solved and questions cleared. The best advice I can give you is to be patience and use the time to catch up on some other stuff you have put off.

Good luck and hope you get the account back soon. Read the stickies about how to submit a ticket and give as much info as you can in the ticket. If the ticket runs over 3 days, make sure you post the ticket number in the thread for tickets over 3 days for review.

iv done a ticket, the ban runs out in 150 hours, it was 2 weeks but only just got around to investigating it, do you know if my accounts will have been deleted because of a ban?

I don’t think they delete accounts. You just have to sort it out with the support.

thats the ban screen, that pops up for me

It seems like someone reported you for something in game and you are getting a roughly one week ban.

my names are, taffz, kyla runeclaw, ms phantasm, and napalm rising how do they break name rules,…

Could also be swearing in chat and a host of other rules (I’ve been reading them a lot in the past 24 hours).

Could have been something you said in-game, but then again with all this mess going on who knows. I was also banned 2 days ago for “unacceptable behaviour” but was then it was changed to “botting” so I don’t know what’s going on with a-net recently but they need to step up and tell people what’s going on and resolve this BS.

swearing in game is allowed i thought thats why it has a profanity filter?

No, just because there is a profanity filter does not mean its allowed. Its in the rules of conduct. That would explain why you are banned for a week.

Not if you directly offend someone. Theres a difference from saying “Man that boss was hard as kitten” and “That boss was hard because of you, you kittener” or something along those lines. However if you were hacked like someone said above it could have been anything.

I heard swearing is allowed to some degree if it isn’t directed at anyone and/or if it isn’t in excess.

i guess ill juts have to wait and see what happens if support cant help guess ill hvae to wait it out, i hope they havnt deleted my accounts tho was like 2-3 days off my juggernaut legendary

The best way is try not to swear. You never know what’s offensive to others. There are a lot of things not filtered even with filter on. Since there is no clear black and white about to what degree is “allowed”, the best solution is not to do it.

Yes I agree I never swear in map or say but it isn’t much of a problem for me since I use TS to talk to people anyway.

But yeah you should avoid swearing because even if it doesn’t seems offensive to you some people might, and report you.

in that case dark revan they shouldnt have profanity filter open if they take offence easily. thats my opionion.

It will for the majority of the time depends on what you are saying and who it is to. Anyway, good luck and I hope support gets back to you.

I do believe this issue was debated on the forum and there was no clear answer. There are many ways to be offensive without swear words. It is really up to the person reading the chat and people can’t just turn off Map chat altogether. The best advice is still not to do it in open chat. If you do, knowing you might get banned again for the same reason.

That filter is nice for enlish speaking people, but I don’t think swearing in Dutch (and other languages not supported by Anet) is filtered out And yes, I will report players for swearing without reason. There are just some players that use kitten in every line they type.
I have turned the filter off, because there are some normal Dutch words that are not ok, according to the profanity filter.
