Hello everyone,
please stay on topic; this is a discussion about why a harassment reporting function should or shouldn’t be added, not a discussion about the definition of harassment.
Greetings
Harassment should be added into the game, want a good idea of what angst happens in a game where they don’t have the ability to report Harassment look no further than warcrafts thread on CRZ. Warcraft players are really up in arms about NOT being able to report Harassers in game. Warcraft had it, their new feature broke it.
I went to one of the servers they said was having issues, thought I walked into 2 notorious Hate speech groups doing a meeting. Bad, yes it was. Some stuff would make military and seamen duck and cover.
You don’t want that here put this feature in, call it Harassment/Threatening and be thankful you did.
Doesn’t the Verbal Abuse report cover this? Or is that only if they use bad words?
Nope it’s to vague in my opinion. Doesn’t cover if someone is following you doing it. Making alts on other accounts to continue the barrage. They need it defined as harassment/threatening and put some teeth into by reporting said harassers to law enforcement. Internet threatening is still threatening, no different than you standing 2 feet from the person.

Got a message I was put on the waiting room Lions Arch.
Then said it was allowing me to go to the main server.
Clicked go to server and entire computer froze.
Would be nice to see Arena Net extend your free weekend offer.
Half my main guild in another game was not logged on or away preparing for Thanksgiving, so my invited people just got the invites now.
Those I invited said " it’s Thanksgiving we’ve been busy preparing for it, sadface. "
Thanks.
Well Arena Net could also put in a function and Special NPC’s that can spawn a World Event on request from a Guild Leader or Officer, that everyone could join in and participate with and drop the proper rewards for the event. That way Guild’s could have some planning and control to bring the guild together for an event and foster commaraderie within the guild; while allowing outsiders to join in.
Except then you’d either have a) people farming them events, since they’d be events on tap or b) camping the NPC waiting for a cooldown to expire.
Not saying they’d be a bad idea (GW had 8 or 12 man runs), but they’d have to find some way to ensure that people spent time out in the world as well as in the raids.
Maybe you have to collect event tokens to purchase a Raid Key that gives you a shot at it?
I don’t know but just having 5 man dungeons leaves a whole host of my guild out in the cold and we’re use to fielding 3 10 man raid teams in Warcraft. The guild is a very close net bunch and we hate to leave anyone sitting on the sidelines.
I’m just looking at a way to foster guild participation on a pve side, because not all our guildies pvp. So I’m looking for possible ways to add to GW2 without detracting from what makes this game so much fun.
The guild is looking for a sister game to give us something new and different besides Warcraft and build on it. Thus the suggestion to allow a second Guild Chapter House to thrive in GW2.

As much as I got nothing against raids as a form of content, a thought struck me the other day: They could actually hurt the game.
Since a lot of the large group content is out in the world (making it accessible), if you go making instanced large group content, then where are all the guilded players going to go? And in turn, what happens to the players that are left out in the world, unable to do all of these big events because players are in instanced content?
Rather than have all the big group content behind a door, why not bring more, larger group content into the world? Where organised guilds can make a difference?
Well Arena Net could also put in a function and Special NPC’s that can spawn a World Event on request from a Guild Leader or Officer, that everyone could join in and participate with and drop the proper rewards for the event. That way Guild’s could have some planning and control to bring the guild together for an event and foster commaraderie within the guild; while allowing outsiders to join in. ( There also needs to be a turn off switch for the event, to stop possible griefing with this feature. )
After all Dark Age of Camelot had raids in their game while still fostering an open world and some of the best Realm vs Realm PVP ever seen in MMO’s. Anyone who played Dark Age of Camelot remembers Darkness Falls Dungeon/Raid instance.
Let’s face it some of the the big devs in Arena Net came from DAOC backgrounds. Thankfully they managed to put aside the 3 factioned combat. Had Daoc brought it to 2 factions like the player base suggested numerous times – it would never have folded.
I also agree with this thread, sometimes you want to change the way your character looks, chuckle maybe even green hair for St. Patricks Day.
Honestly think this should be a feature included in the game, your growing exponentially Arena Net; don’t slow down now. =D
Hello,
Still very much enjoying GW2, I’m so impressed with a lot of the things you’ve done.
Now my guild from Warcraft have been listening to myself and a couple of other officers who came over to GW2. Needless to say it’s peaking their curiosity.
I honesly think Arena Net should seriously consider putting in a few 10 – 12 man Raid Instances. The 5 mans are good from what I have seen of them, nice and challenging to say the least at times. I’m pretty sure the wVw will be good too.
If my guild is to make the transition from being Warcraft only, 10 – 12 man raids would really make that happen.
Why? because my guild for a long time has always worked extensively on getting our player base to be always included where possible. 5 Man only dungeons won’t allow us to incorporate more members.
After all the guild that plays together, stays together. Seriously consider this as an option Arena Net, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do.
Thanks
Just found a new bug I believe, I’ll be talking with my guild on ventrilo using the Lcntrl key as my click to talk key.
Prior to this patch I did this all the time talking on vent and casting spells while I killed things.
Tonight Pressing Lcntrl and casting spells is getting me being given " message suppressed message" Was not doing this prior to this patch.
Thank you very much no idea how it got moved.
Went from being bottom right corner of the game to upper top right of the game screen.
Want it back in it’s orginal bottom right corner.
No idea how it got there but I absolutely hate the top right position.
Anyone know how to put it back in bottom right.
Thanks
Game is very enjoyable good work Devs.
However could you look to putting an AOE Looting system in place.
With all the great stuff you’ve done in game, I feel AOE Looting would just make things run a little more smoother for the player base.
Would also cut down on extra clicking to retrieve loot which should result in less of the player base being at risk of carpel tunnel syndrome from unnecessary repetitive clicking.
thanks.
