we just need a few sub catagoriess as the “Open world content” catagory is overloaded at prime time. i imagine that this is a easy addition, almost copy/paste of other segmets of the current UI LFG window.
i’d suggest catagories like these then a sub category for the specific zone:
Maguuma wastes:
-drytop
-silverwastes
Heart of thorns:
-verdink brink
-auric basin
-tangled depths
-dragon’s stand
as far as the current open world, not such a big deal but i think if you kept a continent category going, it would be nice.
Tyria:
-ascalon
-kryta
-shiverpeaks
-maguuma jungle
or just leave open world alone, but the new meta’s for HoT and all the achievements that are in HoT are certainly worth a few more LFG categories.

“just block report” like that does something? lol. the report feature is a placebo.
i don’t read the forums simply because of these types of responses from anet fanboys. no offense but defending something that is clearly behavior that is close to cyber bullying and harassment because you can “block” them is sad.
you said that its been brought up so many times, well obviously its a issue thats getting worse and worse. once its done to you, you’ll start doing it to others and it goes on and on.
getting somewhere on anything requires trying. its certainly a QoL change.
if you watch the news, all the facebook and other social media bullying seem to have some actions taken. if this were my game i’d take the time to do whatever possible to keep he chance of this type of behavior at a minimum. i’m sure they could get their pants sued off in court the first time someone does something dark over this.
so yeah, whatever. defend it if you want… in wvw there isn’t a problem with this, but in the spvp and open world just a few logical fixes and it would be a lot better.
hey thanks for saying the same thing!
i said in the first post that i don’t see any other forum better to post in, so its in bug because it doesn’t make sense to be able to spam/mail/whatever a person you block. clearly you don’t want to talk to them right?
i’m playing an online game to enjoy it with other people. not block everyone and end up playing a single player game.
you apparently don’t play unranked or ranked spvp much, nor do you seem to care about blocking 90% of that player base. other people do want to play this game and socialize not be blocking someone over 1 pvp match and never communicate again in another match.
so yeah man, i get it. block everyone, thanks. great advice.
my point and solution was simply to stop this childish behavior of blocking and insulting and all this “salt” nonsense. i’m tired of reading it in the pvp lobby like that somehow made a player better by being a kitten to them?
i’m surprised you don’t see how these types of things aren’t toxic to the community.
thanks for not reading anything i’ve posted here. i’m talking about the mechanic where you can continue to send mail and whisper a person you have blocked. that means that they are doing it just to degrade you and insult you. that means that they have no intention of having a conversation with you, they just want to be nasty.
am i getting through to you at all here? i don’t need to hear about how to use the block feature or how to report someone for stalking or harassing. we all know how to do this.
i don’t understand how you aren’t understanding what i’m saying here. its quite clear.
Again, good luck.
I think a public discussion is better than a generic cut and paste customer support response.
Good Luck.
you’re missing the point completely, we shouldn’t have to block people just because they want to go out of their way to be nasty. i’d rather hear from a dev than you play devils advocate that its a players responsibility to proactively block people constantly.
thats not how i want to play guild wars 2 and i don’t think thats how people want to see guild wars 2.
Good luck.
Block and report.
A player can only ‘harass’ you once if you immediately block them. You can’t be whispered by someone you’ve blocked. And you can only know you are blocked if you were planning on responding to said ‘harassing’ whispers.
Good luck.
obviously you can block them after the first whisper but this behavior i just described is a way to work around that to be nasty to a person.
and “report” does what? its the same report options we’ve had since launch and none of them relate to this behavior. we have to take screenshots and log out of game, log in to the website, fill out a ticket, attach (and resize large screenshots) to report harassment expecting anything to be done about it. thats not a solution.
this post is to point out that block exploit. maybe its just a few whispers or mails, but it shouldn’t happen period. if a person wants to block you, they have no right to continue to spew insults.

I didn’t really see a better forum to post this in where i was sure devs would see this topic.
I’d have to say this is a bug, since every other mmo i can remember playing does not allow someone who has blocked another person to continue to send them whispers and mail them items in game. its only logical…
the harassment goes on all day and is entertaining to people as you can tell from the map chat in the pvp lobby and even in lion’s arch occasionally when people disagree with others and find this childish behavior acceptable.
heres what happens:
i block player xx for whatever reason, but i’m going to continue to send nasty whispers and/or a in game mail with items attached that they can’t even return because i blocked them.
simple solution:
don’t let players whisper/mail people on their block list.
this kind of behavior is almost encouraged simply because theres no check on sending whispers/mail. its bad for the community and its something extremely easy to fix. its harassment and its close to cyber bullying frankly. if people want to have a discussion over differences, fine….but this one sided form of harassment is toxic for the community.
please address this devs, thank you.
