Guild Wars 2

@Celtic Lady, the heart around the swamp in queensdale does not relate to ambient creatures, at all. The one in bloodtide coast does though which is why I dont farm there. I can be considerate too.

I am european and play on EU server and I see this too occasionally. But apparently a lot of people have experienced lag recently.. might be something with thr servers not working properly?

Even if this kid is doing to ruin a farm still doesnt matter. It is behaviour that should be punished, wether or not it is for ruining a farm, hearts, events or whatever. Griefing is not really “accepted” anywhere and neither should it, no matter what the griefing is about. The majority of people replying to this read need to read and understand the full context and not just “he is ruining my farm” – bit.

First of all it is not an exploit, it is broken economy (blame the players) and a lot of people are using it to an advantage, including myself, no shame in it. However, i would not get kittened off because someone is ruining my trick or treat bag farm, not at all actually, the fact that is kittening me off is his lack of communication, reason and complete ignorance to even try and to reason with me. Chat messages, whispers and even mail has yet to get through to this guy, and he keeps at it. So far he is only doing this in QD, and yes there are other places to farm whatever goodies you want, but QD is so far the fastest, easiest and most efficient place to do it (hence the reason most people do this there).

Like i said before, I dont mind sharing nor do I really bother if he wants to tag “my spawns”. But when he either insta kill them, or the ambient creatures i want to use, he should at least give me a reason as to why he is doing it. Sharing the same spot for farming with people happens all the time, and so does creating group farms in certain areas. Pretty much everyone I have had the pleasure to farm along side is open to the idea of sharing spawns and tagging, and respecting eachother, whoch is the whole notion of farming in group OR at the same spot. But this guy, really, is the first one to not even say “hi”.

All i have gotten from him was a reply to my very first message before it all started.. I saw him farming, i stood by minding my own bizz and then I asked “would you like to duo?”. He said “no.” so i respected that, moved to another nearby area and did my own farm. Minutes later he insta killed my spawns and starts killing everything around me and that was the start of it.

I for one do not see the reason for this, nor do I understand how on earth it is my fault that he does this, but he is and it is frustrating. Like I said, I dont care if it has to do with a farm or not.. It is inappropriate behaviour towards anyone, anywhere.

Look, I know this sounds very “out there” and pretty much like a typical “uuh wtf!?” thing, but i would not make such claims without good reason behind it. I see no reason nor need to fire upon innocent beings, which this guy is not. I did not post here to hear your sarcasm or bashing (then again, this is the internet..). I was asking for a method to report a user I find violating the rules of conduct within this game. And people always want a reason as to why one person asks for such means, hence the reason i explained what was going on. No need for stupid comments about wether or not you believe it, you think it is silly or whatever it may be. I got what I asked for which was a link.

But if you want to throw more sarcasm at me then go ahead, I am all ears.

Segman, I won’t put offline status because of one guy. I blocked him now though to see if it will help.

Like I said, the next time I see him do this stuff I will record it and send it to Anet.

Thanks for the link btw!

And I will try the guesting method as well, thank you (Sane & Dark Jericho) for the tip!

Lordkrall, you tell me. Why would I come here and make a silly post about it unless I took it very seriously? It’s not like I dislike this guy because of no reasons what so ever, and I would not want anyone banned for no good reason either. But this is starting to annoy me quite badly.

Rhapsody, funny thing you mentioned it, he is following me on the friendslist.. (No I did not add this guy)

Edit: Understandable that naming and shaming is unallowed, so I removed the screenshot.

I did report him, but there is no option for “greifing”. There is a ctually no option related to this matter at all – hence the reason I came to the forums to ask for another way of doing it. Understand now?

This has been going on for 4 days, and when someone is following you around each time then yes that is on purpose – so, griefing. The next time he shows up I will record it for you, post it to youtube, and show you what he is doing only for the sake of proving my point since trying to make people understand with text – here at least – is completely pointless.

When someone is weaiting around for you to make your move, and then decide to kill everything, I believe he has got time. The thing is, he doesn’t even turn the ambient life into golems unless I just stand still and do nothing for a couple of minutes. If I move, he kills everything around me and then camps on his roof again.

I do not wan to limit anyone, but GW2 has a tagging system which allows for people to hit the same mob – which in the end grants materials/loot for all the people that tagged said mob. This feature is there to prevent people from kill-stealing, but sometimes people do not care about this and goes on and on doing this anyway.

How do I know this is deliberate? Well, when the same guy shows up at the same place, arriving after me, neglecting my messages and actively following me around to put out AoEs that insta-kill mobs (in this case ambient life for the candy golems), then yes, I do believe he is doing this to kitten with me. I have tried to communicate with him several times with no luck, I even asked a guildy to keep an eye on him when I was walking around below to scout for creatures to kill – he kept moving around to have reach and a clear view of the area I was targetting.

I have no issues with sharing, tagging or even letting other do their thing while I wait for my turn – but I do not really take it easily when people do everything to screw you over so that they can do the exact same thing you were doing before they went on a trolling rampage. Like I said, with this tag-system there is no need for hoarding mobs and solo it all. Farming can be done in groups even without partying up first. It is called courtesy and respect, and sadly some people lack this completely. Especially when they won’t even talk to you to at least give you an explanation of why they are doing this..

(actually the correct term for this is greifing).

Is there a way to report other players, or at least have them change to another server of that map when they do everything in their power to deliberatly screw you over? This happens with hearts, events and farming creatures for mats. I know that farming is sometimes frowned upon but I would much rather earn my mats than take the easy way out and buy it on TP (besides, we all want to earn some gold every now and then too).

This has happened to me on several occasions where there is this one dude who repeatedly does this. Follows me around and kills everything before I get to the mobs so I can’t contribute or get the loot. Sometimes there are even a group from the same guild who does this. It is like playing PVE in any other MMORPG all over again..

Is it that hard to just tag the mobs and move on to the next ones? Really??

I just find this extremely annoying, especially when I am forced to move to another section of the map – only to be met by the same people AGAIN when I return to do my heart/farm.

Greetings Johnathan, Matt & Mike!

I have a questing regarding the gear of the game. As of now, you can get Common, Rare, Exotic and so forth. But as far as I know, the exotics are no different from the Legendary except for one thing; you get a medal on your account for wearing legendary stuff. But, the stats are exactly the same as exotics.. Will this change? and if so, in a near future or is this not a priority as of yet?

I’m just curious because I’ve been having a long discussion with several people on the topic, and I for one would like some answers.
