Firstly, there is no party politics at all occuring. It’s just plain theft. Secondly, the LFG system was implement 1 year ago and to say it’s in beta is just an excuse on your part.

Apologises we didn’t realise you owned dungeons.

Im glad anet are taking steps to stop dungeon selling, its almost as bad as gold selling and they should be banned.

Actually, to be frank, yes I do own the dungeon instance, if I made it. Unfortunately you’re only considering dungeon sellers to be the only ones affected by this. I’ve heard from people not just from this forum, but in-game that express their frustration from getting kicked from the dungeon they made and is in the middle of completing (Most often coming from Fractals). Additionally, because now that there is no dungeon owner, this diminish the need to do story dungeon to be able to unlock explorable dungeon. Someone who doesn’t play with a guild or might not have friends online is risking himself/herself to opening a dungeon only to get kicked at the end.

Reporting toxic players is only putting a band-aid on the whole issue. Even if said toxic player was to be banned, what’s to stop him from buying another account to do it all over again? It’s not a solution for the players, it’s a solution for arenanet.

I’ll go ahead and clarify since there has apparently been different information coming from different sources in the past. Customer Service is not able to support party politics unless they involve cases of targeted harassment in-game. This is because of the number of different reasons that certain party politics happen. Since CS only has access to actions that occur in-game, we are unable to verify specifics for incidents in a large number of incidents. Specifics are the most important part of these situations.

However, we do view player reports via CS tickets, and if a player can be verified as a habitual abuser of the LFG system or parties in general, we can take action against them.

Dungeon selling is not something that will be officially supported. Listing a group on the LFG tool is opening it up to a public realm and you do so at your own risk.

Customer Service will not be able to support any interactions that involves group formation politics.

If that the case, then the use of the LFG system is more risk than help. Regardless of dungeon selling or not. Not to mention you also said that arenanet will be of no help if players get kicked from their own dungeon. Very disappointing to hear

Reporting people for griefing still won’t change the fact that people can still do this, it’s not a permanent solution. Additionally, while most people believe that this will only affect people selling arah paths, it also affect anyone who uses the lfg system. Since the lfg allows anyone to join a group without any kind of parameter (i.e. level restriction or solo join/party merge), there is no mean of preventing people from merging their party of 2 with another party that’s already made a dungeon and halfway thru and effectively kicking the original party to invite their own friends/guild.
