Why did they put in a medium and high chat filter in the game if they ban people for inappropriate language? Why, oh because they have to put it in the terms and services so they can have any and every reason to ban any player, take them away from the game. I’ll probably be able to confirm if Arena Net gives me logs of all servers All/Map chat/ any chat logs that 95% of any players has said inappropriate language once in their time on GW2. Why aren’t they banned for 3 days?

I understand that children or sensitive adults don’t enjoy swearing or “un-tasteful” behavior, but hey guys….There’s a filter. A filter so you don’t have to see any profanities! If someone is mad at you and is throwing bad boo boo words at you, guess what! Click that high filter button and you’ll be seeing —-—- all day and your clean mind will be saved.

Don’t be jacka—es and report people because they said a bad word. My ban was for racial slurs, yes I did use a racial slur, yes it could have easily offended someone. Yet the manner in which I was using it was in pure jest in a PvP match with only 10 in the audience. The one who said “reported” as soon as I said the word N***a proceeded to “troll” me after I destroyed him 500- 100 in a tournie match. This was a mad boy who couldn’t care less about the context of the word, and probably wasn’t offended in the slightest but wanted to be the new biggest internet sensation troll 2012.

Is your argument here that you truly believe you shouldn’t have received a ban for uttering a racial slur in public chat?

Actually my “argument” is that the “moderators” should really look into the situation rather than just a ban for safe measure.

So you believe that there is some “situation” that makes using the N-word acceptable in a public chat in a videogame?

Yes, I do.

Nobody is the same, you are sensitive to even the most rudimentary of insults but that’s who you are. If you honestly think that GW2 staff should ban anyone and everyone for saying one word that upsets YOU then by all means play this game on your own. To me personally the “N” word does not offend me and within my entire lifetime I’ve yet to see someone very upset with me using the “N” word so freely (Or at least they’ve never voiced it). I don’t see the “N” word or use the “N” word as a derogatory term to insult people. Nor did I use it when I was banned. “N****a” and “N****er” are two VERY different words. If someone was truly offended by me saying “I got the best dance moves, I’m swag as F*** N***a.” Then I honestly didn’t see the racism in that.

I don’t think we want to know what we said to get banned (Or atleast I don’t need to). I can understand how my racial slurs were taken offensively but I think we’d all rather have a warning rather than a ban right off the bat without getting a slap on the wrist first. It’s easier on yourselves and the player to get a slap on the wrist first, for the first offense, then a ban if or when they continue to misbehave. Obviously with this “automated” system of 3-14 day bans you’re just getting people upset and inconveniencing players for a first offense. I get the fact Arena net wants a nice community, but banning for first offenses is not the way to do it. Yes it does smack the player hard and tell them you mean business but it probably also makes players leave and gives a “harsh” name for the game.

TL;DR, Message us a warning before you ban us. Please.

Got banned myself for racial slurs, 3 days. I was messing around not actually using “ni**a” in a derogatory manner, just jokes. I completely understand the wrong in using racial slurs and understand why it would be offensive to some. Regardless I’d rather be warned or hour bans rather than 3 days for a joke that was obviously taken the wrong way….
