Guild Wars 2

Before we get into this, I have emailed support about 20 or so hours ago and still no response and this is getting really absurd, just when I get my days off I can’t play the game for god knows why.

So here’s my issue, I have 5 characters which are all over 1 years old, yesterday in the middle of new TA path after my group has been doing pretty well actually, I get banned out of nowhere.

I check my email and nothing, no warning, no reason for the ban simply nothing. So I try logging again and I find out I have been banned for “Inappropriate name”. I can’t for the life of me think of a character name that would require such action against my account. Here are my character names:

Ruberia Vi, Raione, Diana River, Kyrie Raiu, Kyrie Nelo (last one might be a tad different, not a character I play much).

So I have been banned for 72 hours why exactly? why can’t I enjoy my game? why would you ban me without even giving me a prior warning or at least allowing me to change the name? I would gladly change any name in game if you guys had just asked me to instead of right out banning me for 72 hours for reasons I’m still not sure of, which name is inappropriate and why exactly?

Usually I would wait for the support to answer, but after almost an entire day I’m getting kinda impatient since I won’t be able to play the game next week and if I’m going to be banned for the rest of this week its going to be really really annoying. Can any mods please help me with this?

‘’The guy was playing a kitten warrior, a profession with big damage output and little thinking requirement. He was failing, yet, despite his inability to render himself useful to the group…’’

I think this is what a lot of players are trying to get away from… You don’t do max damage so you suck and should not be in a group/cannot play properly/should quit game etc …

I was hoping GW2 would be free of this :-(

Nobody said that you need to do max damage. However, when you’re the one failing and you’re kicking someone for pointing out the fact that you might be doing something wrong in a manner which was not even close to being rude, you’re an kitten Period.

The issue with that is OP did not in fact tell him he might be doing something wrong – and even if he did no one likes to be told they’re wrong, which is why the OP went on such a defensive and insulting stance when everyone told him he was wrong. It’s only natural to not want to be told you’re wrong.

Either way OP didn’t tell him he was doing something wrong, he said “are you lacking gear or something?”, is more like saying he IS wrong. It’s offensive, it’s passive aggressive (which I find to be the worst because unlike a direct insult you can’t really argue against a passive aggressive insult as the person is trying to maintain a ‘holier than thou’ stance, which is why so many people would say he’s being elitist), it’s really unpleasant.

Either way if that truly is ALL he did – it was undeserving of a kick before the final boss like that. The group had the right to kick him because he was in fact, whether you accept it or not, offensive – yet they were still being jerks by doing so.

Actually I don’t think I was ever offensive \ defensive or w/e. Some people here claim that I was wrong, but I don’t agree, simple as that. I am quite amazed that people think that, it is true, but I didn’t kick them in the last boss of a dungeon run for that.

Also, I completely disagree that they had any right to kick me. I can’t be blamed that an HONEST question is being taken as an insult. Could I have worded it better? sure, I probably could have, but I don’t think that my wording was offensive regardless.

I’m sorry, but I don’t consider this as an insult. I consider it pathetic that some of you do, the ONLY reason I was asking him was because I was busy fighting the ghost boss (whatever his face) and wanted to know if he would like to replace roles, where he’ll tank him and I’ll kill the acolyte to improve our DPS.

I find it absurd, pathetically so, that some of you find it an insult to ask someone if their gear is not the best in the world. I can’t believe that this is what this community has come to, it wasn’t even criticism, it was a freaking question to help us finish the dungeon faster and you people call it an insult? jesus christ..

Oh, so just because you don’t consider it an insult it can’t be an insult?
Seeing as several people here seems to share the view that it could be seen as an insult, clearly it can?

And based on your reaction here when people does say something against you I find it highly unlikely that this is all there is to the story and if those were the exact words you said.

First of all, no, I don’t find a question that can help me during the instance to be an insult. not for ONE second, did I ever consider it an insult, and not for a second will I ever consider it an insult when someone will ask me that, because I’m adult enough to answer “No, might be that I just suck”. Obviously most people here are not.

Also, I did not ask anyone to believe me or not, I do not care if random people on the internet believe me, this is not what the thread is about. you can feel free to think whatever you want about me, but so far only one or two people actually were able to understand why this thread exists and give me a real answer.

OP, Don’t get me wrong.. Dungeons are far far easier and quicker with a maxed out party (I’m not against Min/Max builds) but the problem comes when a Min/Max player groups with casual players (Like myself).. Then the moaning-questions about builds/damage begin which can be a distraction from the fun.

I don’t recall ever asking to kick him because he didn’t have the best gear. the last boss was going very slowly, so I asked him in order to see if maybe he wants to switch positions (i was tanking the ghost boss thingy) in order to make the fight go smoother. how on earth is someone supposed to play the freaking game when people take a SERIOUS QUESTION as an insult?! I am honestly astounded by what people here consider to be an insult.

To all of those saying that I might have worded it differently, if I had, I wouldn’t be here asking to report them because I would have deserved it and nothing would come out of it.

I worded it pretty much the same way I wrote in my original post, and after they kicked me 3 of them spammed “hahahahahhaa” in chat, so no, I don’t think I did anything wrong (how do I know this? the 4th guy told me).

You can’t report them for kicking you after insulting one of them.
Simple as that.

If you worded it “pretty much the same way” then it was a clear insult, and they have all right to kick you.

I’m sorry, but I don’t consider this as an insult. I consider it pathetic that some of you do, the ONLY reason I was asking him was because I was busy fighting the ghost boss (whatever his face) and wanted to know if he would like to replace roles, where he’ll tank him and I’ll kill the acolyte to improve our DPS.

So I’m not sure where this goes, but I thought I might as well post it here.

I have been kicked out of a party few moments before the last boss died, we were running CoF Path 2, and during the last boss where you need to kill 4 acolytes one of the warriors took forever to kill his mob which made the fight much longer, so I asked the warrior “Are you lacking gear or something?” and then they kicked me.

I got the names, but the report option in this game is freaking useless. I don’t care about those 50 minutes (yeah, terrible group), but I don’t wanna think that people can pull that kind of kitten and get away with it. The report option in game offers no way to explain what happened, and I doubt something will happen as a result.

Is there anything that can be done so that players cant do whatever they feel like? I know Anet said they’re banning players who do that kind of stuff, but how the hell am I supposed to report it? Basically would just like to know what can Anet do about it, assuming they actually handle that kind of stuff.
