Would you keep playing?
I’m kinda feeling that I might move on if this culling problem can’t be fixed. Honestly being a long time mmo player I’ve seen many problems like this in mmo’s that simply can’t be fixed due to engine limitations.
The best example is pets in WAR. The dev’s never directly told us that pets were unfixable but after a year of playing a Whitelion it became pretty obvious.
I kinda see this culling issue as the same thing. They won’t recognize that they simply can’t fix it.
We’ll see
So would you keep playing in the long term if they can’t fix it?
It is amazing they’re still allowing server transfers. Can they not just shut it off. Like now. OR NOW. OR NOW. OR NOW.
Wait, you could do it NOW. OR maybe right now.
Or wait 1 more month and kill your game………………..
Anyone in charge read these forums? Helloooooooooooo! Anyone there?
Why isn’t this at the top of the forum? Keep it up there. This is the top 1 or 2 problems with RvR atm.
This should be a top priority above all else in the game. The thieves are literally ruining RvR.
If this game has any shot at large success you better be throwing money at this problem. My guild is already starting to disintegrate because of these thieves and the fact that we can be 1v4’d.
I’d be working on this problem as if my job depended on it. Which it does.
You can’t capture or hold a point while in stealth…
See, thats the problem. People are complaining about Thieves without having any idea how the skills work.
you need to read before you respond, you look like an Obama
Should he instead say “I have binders full of woman”?
Funny you say Obama doesn’t read. I’d bet he’s read about 2,000 books more than you by the time he was 30. Just saying.

The invulnerability when going down is literally driving me nuts. That was a HORRIBLE decision. That and permastealth thieves pretty much ruins any fun to be had.
If I was running Anet I would first nerf cloak and dagger by putting a cd on it or nerfing the attack point regen IMMEDIATELY.
Next I would throw all of my resources into fixing the server side rendering issues as if my job depended on it.
As it stands now the thief issue has pretty much killed RvR for us. It’s bordering on exploiting.
Does planetside 2 have stealth? It’s my dream to some day have a game without stealth.
I remember when WAR was in development and they told us “WAR will have no stealth” It seems nobody can just do what 90% of us want. Get rid of abusive stealth mechanics.
At least in WAR stealth was limited to 30 seconds and witchhunters and witchelves only had one ability to re-stealth with.

Fun. The reason is to keep doing it is because it’s fun.
So If I extend your logic then getting camped at your keeps spawn is fun? I’m just trying to be clear about this.
Join Jade Quarry…………everyone else did!
Just wait until off hours and you can join the number 1 server! Enjoy!
dry toast pvp, harcore pvpers from daoc/warhammer bored. couple of ideas
in WvW
Posted by: Godmoney.2048
My guild has done WvW or Rvr for eons, we love it but the current wvw in gw2 does not cut it.
We expect and normally love fighting big zergs, and love the trash talk and community that normally forms with rolling huge numbers with good groups.
But here the pvp is all anonymous, no-name, no infamy stuff. Who is kicking kitten in the zone? who knows. In warhammer you could see who was tearing it up, from kill spam and mods to track it. We had people that were fun to fight against, and had long standing feuds & rivalries, that turned into friendships (we have had several old enemies join us in new games). Here its all dry toast…
The normal fun of fighting huge numbers with a smaller force, if further dumbed down with the orbs, and the downed system. The old triad in structured groups is replaced with 2 roles: killers and stakers. One group is maxed out dps to down people fast, and the other is on stake duty. This works very very well, but its garbage game play. People don’t want to stake rez, I even hear people wishing they could heal and be part of the action again.
Rezzing is great in pve and garbage rvr (the bad players all standing 10 feet apart shooting arrows),it jsut breaks down in anything coordinated really really fast.
In any event, my suggestions (That I am sure other have brought up as well)
- Orbs need to be toned way down, way too much to hand the already dominating faction (and likely dominating at night)
- Show enemy player names, and show some zone statistics on kills/ rez/ whatever, lets give people some bragging rights and attempt to get community going
- Downed system is not an easy fix, but its just not fun in high end pvp. Remove the invulnerability when going down in WvW as a start, and keep it as is for pve.
Best forum post ever. Completely agree with all of this.
WAR was amazing. I miss it.
Stopping this insane server transfering would be a start.
Dark Craig forever.
(edited by Godmoney.2048)
It’s hard to have any server pride when I know everyone can just transfer at the drop of a hat. What the point of even WvW if you can just switch servers everyday?
Transfers should be cash only. No gem stores, a purchasable transfer ticket that can only be bought with real money. No gold involved.
This ^ it’s common sense. Real money for a transfer. If you want to transfer cough up 15$
Why wouldn’t you just monetize transfer servers with a 10-15$ gem purchase. If people really want to server hop let them pay for it.
WvW is a joke now.
Can I get a answer on this one? Is there some logic behind having transfers almost 6 weeks after launch?
Don’t try to explain people here Moa Morph is the most stupid and overpowered skill in the game, you are losing your time.
This thread will end on Mesmers claiming you are bad, that you think Moa is OP because you don’t dodge and run or use the uber Moa skillz (yup, suggestions are in contrast), that Moa is fine because it can be dodged and it is on a slow cooldown and so on…
People won’t realize that 10s cc is a joke, they will always find a way to justify it.
It’s not 10 seconds.
I don’t like using Moa personally. The player still has movement control and simply needs to disengage for 8 seconds, then turn back around.
I have a hard time believing a mesmer can kill anyone in 8 seconds. I’ve seen thieves and Warriors do it constantly but mesmer’s simply do not have the dps to kill someone in the Moa’s timestamp especially if the person just runs out of range for a few seconds.
Moa is lackluster compared to timewarp or group invisiblity. Aoe invis has saved me and my friends far too often.
Group invis, Timewarp > Moa
I have almost my entire play time on my mesmer. I have a couple alts at level 10 but for the most part 100’s of hours on mesmer.
Here’s what my “support” experiments ahve taught me.
Don’t do it. Mesmer needs a complete overhaul on the support spec’s. The support builds are literally worthless except as a tank.
Mesmer’s can build tank very well but healing wise you are 100% better off using a guardian, engi, warrior, ele, necro……….blah blah.
I have full cof set, full tank set from AC and have experimented with support builds. They just aren’t worth it. The regen tactic from the heal tree blow’s. The mantra heal’s blow and are SUPER AWKWARD TO USE.
Mesmer is best as a tank or duelist period. If someone can show me a viable support spec please do but I have a hard time believing it’s even comparable at all to the other classes support builds.
I’ve tried multiple builds running through Hotw, Ac, Cof, etc and it just feels super lackluster.
Mesmer’s do make great tanks but you’re not going to pull threat so who cares?
The funniest part of this to me is this.
I’ve been playing mmo’s for a long time. I’m 36. The thing I’ve noticed is that in any mmo you can pick Warrior and know without a doubt that you will be able to dominate damage and mitigation.
Warriors in my vent are always throwing out these huge numbers of 7k, 10k, 15k flurries.
I’ve seen my warlock hit once for 4500. I’m in full exotics.
If we had damage meter’s nobody would ever bring a mez for Explorables again. Luckily we don’t have any damage meters.
I love the class and all, but every single mmo I’m sitting here scratching my head wondering why Warriors are the chosen mesiah’s of every single game.
Mesmer’s have crappy Aoe.
Ele’s have great Aoe
Mesmer’s have stealth
Ele’s have 20 weapon skills
Mesmer’s have clones
Warrior’s have banners
Mesmer’s have agro drops
Ranger’s have pets.
People want a magical thief/dueling class to also have great AOE?
The elementalist is that way> It has tons of AOE. /threadover
I use staff and double swords.
Mesmer’s have lower dps than other classes because of the high level of survivability they have.
Once I got into full Exotic’s my dps did get better but it’s still no ranger or warrior.
Mesmer is a finesse class with a lot of depth.
The mesmer excels at tank builds. Maybe investigate that angle a little. Stack toughness, condition damage and power.
I would avoid the great sword for leveling because you’re going to enter many caves and small areas where the greatsword does not do well when you’re surrounded by spawns.
Hello everyone. I have noticed that both in-game and out of game(forums, general talk) the general consensus is that dungeons are too difficult, which I personally believe, simply isn’t true.
The only reason dungeons may appear to be difficult is if you are not taking the time to understand the core mechanics and figure out how enemies move and what animations to look out for, so you don’t waste your dodges and the like.
So to remedy this issue, myself and my friends have decided to complete every dungeon on explorable mode including all 3 possible paths, and then posting them on youtube so that others can learn and complete them on their own.
We plan on doing 1 dungeon per day this week(all 3 paths) So look forward to seeing the full list by the end of this week. I will update this thread on a daily basis as to which dungeon video you can expect to see next. I will also delete this wall of text after we have completed all of the dungeons so you will just have the links to look at.
That being said, here is the first dungeon we did.
Twilight Arbor Exporable
Forward, Forward Path
Up path
Forward, Up PathTonight’s Dungeon- AC Explorable Mode(All paths)
Nice post and video’s
Totally agree about people not understanding the core mechanics of this game. PVE is really no that hard once you sit down and take a ten minutes to think about it.
Completely disagree with the op.
I have a full dungeon gear with all of the weapons. Me and my guildies run AC and Cof every night for full clears of all wings. Yes we bugged Cof for a week but now we dot everything legit without too much hassle. The effigy boss is the only thing that really can give us trouble and even then with some light respecing we always get it.
I hate to say it but it’s a l2p issue. Team balance counts. 5 glass cannons will not do well against bosses.
A strong support engi, ele, necro can make the world of difference.
u cant tell ppl lr2p when u expolit farmed ur gear and are geared now and farming? lol that gear helps kiddo so might wanna rethink what u say because u cheated ur gear then tell others lrn2play thats just funny lol
We ran it before we knew about he exploit just fine. We run it now just fine. We bring alts in with junk gear every day just fine.
I even just learned about this new Cof exploit but alas we have no ele’s in my guild so we just run it normal.
Honestly it I barely do anymore dps now then I did in all 80 greens. Barely any more.
If a group of 5 in voip can’t do it in 80 greens then my guild must be special because we did.
You can buy a entire set of 80 yellows and greens off the AH for less than 50 silver.
What insulting posts by dev’s.
My friends have literally gotten any where from 5-45 tokens haveing not run Cof or AC in day’s.
So your diminishing returns now goes a week long? How come I get 60 every day then?
How incredibly insulting this Robert guy is. He obviously has no idea what he’s talking about.
Horrible PR.
You think as a 36 year old 4 year degree eductated man that I don’t see a bug when I see it? Incredibly insulting.
It’s totally random who gets screwed on the tokens. I get 60 every day from each wing and 2 of my friends consitently get less than 60 even though they pve less than me.
They’re going to stop running dungeons altogether soon if this
BUG IS NOT FIXED
(edited by Godmoney.2048)
Good luck removing those 20 stacks of bleeding sitting on a maximum of 10k HP. I hope you have quickness or something, lol.
Hint: What is also literally one of the most common principles in MMOs ever? Being able to mitigate all kinds of damage. Guess what? You can’t mitigate some damage in GW2.
Also, I really hope you enjoy getting oneshot by dumb stuff that 200 points of Vitality would let you survive. Here’s another bit of MMO 101 for you: dead guys don’t do kitten.
How the hell would you get 20 stacks of bleeding on you? What game are you playing.
I’m in full dungeon gear, we clear COF and AC every single night full clears. I have never ever seen 20 stacks from any combo of mobs.
I literally have every single weapon for my mesmer out of dungeons. I’ve ran AC and COF till my eye’s bleed and I have never seen more than a 10 stack and even then that’s extremley rare.
You’re talking with no experience.
There’s some boss encounters and even trash mobs that apply heavy bleeding. Golems in SE is one quick example that comes to mind. Of course, if you’re just doing only COF and AC over and over again, you wouldn’t see those, but that’s just a matter of experience.
h e h
Which mob’s and dungeons again that you get 20 stacks? Huh? Which ones?
Like I said you’re talking out your face, by the time 20 stacks is on you would be dead. 20 stacks will bleed so fast it’s stupid. 10 stacks will bleed out super fast. I simply don’t believe that you’ve ever seen 20 stacks on anything in pve. The stars would have to align.
Simple fact even though most of you seem to be too young and inexperienced to realize.
Healers should mitigate damage to make the most of the health they heal. Health is a tertiary stat on healers.
Armor protects the health you create.
I think it’s funny that people consider conditions a big deal in dungeons at all considering every class has multiple specs to remove conditions and all support has aoe condition removal.
The funniest part is this guy is building out a ele who has some of the best condition removal in GW2.
So it’s suggested that you build health to sustain through condition damage? Why? When you can just remove it by switching attunements?
Literally a wasted stat. Besides that most support ele’s will get a chunk of health from the spec. Why would you then need to also put health on gear?
Healing classes will always benefit from armor over a large health pool.
If he wanted to build a dps ele then health would be viable stat, but he’s not.
The guy’s above me are correct but, I would only do path 3 if you have 4-5 people in vent or some Voip service.
It’s frustrating with people all in Voip, it’s downright evil if you’re trying to do this with a pug and no Voip.
I suggest getting a guild group and then it’s much easier.
We do it every night.
Everyone stack on boss, Have one or 2 solid supports who lay down AOE buffs as much as possible.
If you have someone who can keep poison up then do so. Otherwise you need strong dps, stacking vulneriblity and poison built on top of a strong support who can keep you up under the bosses feet.
You need enough support to not have anyone die under his feet but not so much you can’t dps him down.
Ignore the crystals entirely, Try to dps hard right from the get go to get him to 25% before many crystals have stacked.

You’re talking with no experience.
By the time 20 stacks have built up you would already be dead. Support ele’s peal conditions like oranges. Every time they ele shift they peal conditions. Why would a ele then need health when they can heal up and strip conditions?
Telling me good luck? heh, I’m working on a full set of dungeon tokens for my alt now. I don’t need your luck.
(edited by Godmoney.2048)
I spent both sets of tokens on a single piece of gear. I think you’re tripping on nothing and simply haven’t tried spending them.
I’m so tired of hearing how hard these dungeons are as me and my friend clear all 3 wings night after night on multiple dungeons.
They are easier now thought that we’re all in full exotics. I guess we must be playing a different game then the rest of you who keep complaining.
I’m all down for balancing and tuning, bug fixes but to just outright say they’re too hard is simply wrong.
We have them on farm, it took practice and thought. Try it.
Thousands upon thousands of people exploited cof for a week and no one was banned.
Is this thread just for dramatic purposes? Some guilds literally geared up their entire guild in exotics all off of Magg’s wing and they’re all still playing.
What’s the problem again?
Vitatlity on a healer is a wasted stat. That’s mmo 101.
Toughness and armor are more efficient for healing builds.
If you don’t even know that then why should I trust your knowledge?
Going full toughness will have you die in seconds against some bleed stacks.
If you don’t even know that, then why should anyone care about your post?Not to mention, you’re never gonna match vitality’s EHP with toughness and a healthy HP buffer is actually something to consider in GW2. Can’t very well heal anything if you’re kittening down before your cast finishes, right?
I really like this idea that you would build health and just let bleeds sit on you. That’s super funny.

it’s called condition removal. Why do you need health when a support ele strips conditions like it’s going out of style, not to mention that you can spec more condition removal if you like.
MMO 101 healers build toughness/armor to mitigate and improve their own self healing. Now their heals are worth more without sacrificing stats. This is one of the most common concepts in mmo’s.
Literally one of the most fundamental concepts in mmo’s ever.
Works on my server.
Vitatlity on a healer is a wasted stat. That’s mmo 101.
Toughness and armor are more efficient for healing builds.
If you don’t even know that then why should I trust you? You’re trying to get gear that’s less than ideal even for a support build.

Without difficult content I really see no reason to play this game. The difficulty is all that really keeps me interested.
90% of all video games are easy now. I have to play almost all single player games on hard the first play through now just to get my money’s worth.
When I hear people talk about playing through games on easy now days it blows my mind. Games have literally become so easy you won’t ever die. So many games now can be played through on normal difficulty with 1-3 deaths for a 12 hour game.
Lower the difficulty this early would be very short sighted.
Please don’t turn GW2 into Darksiders, Uncharted, Gears of War, Batman on easy. If you want a easy game to play then I just listed 4 games taht you can play through on normal difficulty and die once or twice.
As if the market doesn’t offer enough choices for easy gamers anyways. There is a plethora of games to play for casual gamers.
Please don’t nerf dungeons. I love difficult content and while I haven’t started exploratory yet I have been working on putting together a static to farm the dungeons with.
I farmed every heroic in Rift until they were easy for me. I plan on doing the same here. So far all of the story mode dungeons have been doable if we take are time and think about the fight.
It saddens me that so many players refuse to think through problems.
TLDR, please use a long term approach to dungeon balance. TY
The most important thing is, will ArenaNet tell the offender who reported him so it’s possible to kick kittens from the guild?
Of course they won’t do this. Your detractor will remain anonymous. Just be wary of being baited into a argument even in /G chat or private tells. Someone could easily turn on you if you slip in some way.
Why not get a VOIP like Team Speak, Ventrilo, Raidcall, or Mumble?
You can say whatever the bleep you want in there!
This ^ is really the only logical solution. If you leave no paper trail then they can’t ban you. I’m personally going to turn general chat off entirely as it’s just way to easy to get into politics or something else that could upset somebody.
The fact is no game has ever taken this strict and harsh a stance on chat. Many more people will get banned not for racism or cussing but for being vulgar or distatesful because we’re used to having some freedom in games to makes jokes or be crude. Being gross is enough to get you banned.
This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.
I think you bolded the wrong part.
Um, no. I bolded the correct part that I wanted hilighted. It points out how open to interpretation the policy is.
I’m not criticizing it necessarily as much as pointing out the reality is that you can get banned for anything that is offensive emotionally in any way.
Anet is welcome to run their company in any way they see fit. I’m not telling anyone how to run their business. I am however pointing out the reality is that GW2 is more likely to ban you than any other game you’ve ever played before. Take that how you choose to.
Embarrassing someone IS a bannable offense.
I wouldn’t trust any chat in game. I was 3 day banned for mentioning a flesh light in a joke. Literally the only thing I said. I wasn’t arguing with anyone, harassing or any of the above. I simply made a short quip about a flesh light and was almost instantly banned.
I would assume this.
You work in a large corp with a very strict HR department. There is a girl at work taht you’re not attracted to but you enjoy talking with her occasionally. One day you can tell she got a new haircut and you say “Hey, I really like your haircut” She smiles and says “thanks!” The next day you are called into the office with no explanation and fired on the spot.
Just imagine if you and your girlfriend break up and she’s resentful……..there goes your 1000 hour account. They will ban you for things way way less vulgar than swearing. It is probably best to avoid using chat entirely.
This is pretty much what my thoughts are. I’m of the same mind as Marilyn Manson when it comes to this stuff (look up the interview with Bill O’Reily). Most people intentionally use words to get a certain reaction or express something in a specific way and they can only get said reaction through use of profanity.
I also compare it to slang. Some people use it a lot and/or don’t even notice anymore. Slang makes a person sound uneducated and sometimes vulgar (imo) as well but we don’t filter it. “Profanity” makes a person sound crass (in their opinion) but yet we do have a filter for that. It’s just a style of talking and not everyone uses the same style. I could say I’m offended by the fact that people who use a lot of slang tell me I’m being rude and disrespectful to them because I use words they’re unfamiliar with, but I don’t. It’s pointless and a circular argument. I ignore them and move on.
Lisa Brown from Michigan comes to mind. She used a word that was neither slang nor a curse word and was penalized for it. She used the word “kitten” during a state senate debate regarding a certain aspect of women’s health and was barred from later debate because she used an “inappropriate” word.
There’s a profanity filter with a couple intensity settings for a reason. People who do not wish to see “offensive” language should be able to block it and can. It should also have a feature to add words to the list of blocked terms if a person is overly sensitive past default settings. So in the end it should be up to the sensitive people to protect themselves. It isn’t something that just sneaks up on a person. You run the risk of being hit by someone each time you drive so you buckle up as a precaution. Use the filter if you are at risk of being offended.
If they’re going to be extra hard on people for things as dumb as this, I’ll just stick to talking in vent only. It’ll cut back on social interaction and finding more people and making friends like me, but it’s what I’ll have to do to keep playing. I don’t trust calling/typing anything into chat during pvp or anything else at this point either. You never know what someone will find offensive and it’s best to just not take a chance. I’d like to keep my Elementalist and if I have to be paranoid every time I log in just to be able to keep her, then I will. I’m not one that falls into their category of “occasionally” swears so I won’t run the risk of typing into any public channels.
Sorry for the rant, this topic really irritates me. It’s the only thing that will always be a black mark on Anet for me. I hate feeling like someone is trying to re-raise fully grown adults that don’t have the same views as them. I have thoroughly enjoyed the game otherwise.
TL;DR If people are so sensitive to simple things like words, show them where the profanity filter is. If they can pay their bills, they can take care of themselves. Nobody should have to get banned because someone couldn’t click a check-box.
That Lisa Brown is a great example. All she said was the technical term for her female organs and bam….she was punished for it even though I can watch TV every night with more sec and violence than a congressional hearing.
For those of you who argue that Anet won’t ban you for simple things let me quote the TOS…..
While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.
I wouldn’t use sarcasm in chat at all. Sarcasm is just asking to be reported.
Just don’t say bad words
This jsut simply isn’t true. Go read the the user agreement again. It is completely open to interpretation. Cussing is one of the least offensive things you can say. Wanna know what I got a 3 day ban for.
Here it is. “I used to own a flashlight, but it filled up.” replace the a in flash light with a E.
I’m 36, I’m a liberal as they come. I’ve never said the N word except one time when I was 18 to a friend who about killed me. I’ve never argued with anyone in game. I said that little stupid joke and that was it. I was locked out 3 minutes later.
I dare any Anet employee to post my entire chat history from headstart on.
I’m only telling you this because I have never seen a company be so ban happy before in my 15 years as a pc gamer.
You’re safest just not using in game chat at all. You let yourself slip one time with something that can be interpretative as sexual, harassment, condescending, etc you are risking your account. We all know how easily someone can take offense to any random thing.
(edited by Godmoney.2048)
It’s super simple. Don’t say anything potentially offensive to people you don’t know who will take it well. You know your best friend, relative, GF, spouse so on. But guilds usually have members that you don’t know. Be wary, make sure you know the guild rules about language. Sure you can still get banned if your guild allows offensive language, but upon talking to your Guild Leader and others you might be able to find the person who is making the reports and kicking them or telling them to stop.
That much is obvious. There’s nobody to kick from the guild as there are only the two of us =D. So we want to know if the guild chat is monitored by an automated system because we won’t be reporting each other.
@InstantIdiocy, I was under the impression that bans always came with an reason (although sometimes vague).
Just the generic “Permanently banned for violating the blah blah” message. After much asking, he was never able to figure out what he did (if anything). He just received a message telling him his account was unbanned.
A little statistic for you that is relevant. At least half of all marijuana growing busts are turned in by their girlfriends after a break up or fight. Something to think about. I think we all know the safe answer on this.
If you are chatting privately with a player and that player reports you, and you are found to be in violation of the Rules of Conduct, then that investigation and the results will take place in accordance with our policies.
So in the example given of someone having a private discussion with their girlfriend: if their girlfriend reports them to Customer Support, then yes—there would be consequences if the person is found to be in breach of the Rules of Conduct.
The same applies to guild chat. If you’re talking in your guild and a guild member reports you, there would be consequences if you’re found to be in breach of the Rules of Conduct.
Wow that’s kind of overboard with guild chat. I’m pretty sure leaders of guilds are capable of handling this on their own
Obviously Anet does not agree that guild leaders can handle their own guilds.

This is simply not true. Guilds always have personality conflicts among some members. If you ever say anything in private tells or guild chat you’re opening yourself up to a ban.
And remember, you’re not going to find out who’s reporting you or exactly what you said to get banned. You’re simply going to have your account blocked, period end of account.
With all the talk of people getting banned for language (which I think is totally redicilous of ArenaNet), I am wondering if it applies to all chat.
For example, if my girlfriend and I are flirting with each other, or my buddy and I are going at each other in private chat, is it A) monitored and saved by ArenaNet? B ) a bannable offense?
What is the policy regarding role-playing? My girlfriend and I enjoy the role playing aspect, and have convinced her old group of RPGers to join, if part of the character is to use mild language between ourselves, will we see bans?
I wouldn’t trust any chat in game. I was 3 day banned for mentioning a flesh light in a joke. Literally the only thing I said. I wasn’t arguing with anyone, harassing or any of the above. I simply made a short quip about a flesh light and was almost instantly banned.
I would assume this.
You work in a large corp with a very strict HR department. There is a girl at work taht you’re not attracted to but you enjoy talking with her occasionally. One day you can tell she got a new haircut and you say “Hey, I really like your haircut” She smiles and says “thanks!” The next day you are called into the office with no explanation and fired on the spot.
Just imagine if you and your girlfriend break up and she’s resentful……..there goes your 1000 hour account. They will ban you for things way way less vulgar than swearing. It is probably best to avoid using chat entirely.

Your name, a comment, a trade that resulted in someone being unhappy with the trade…any of these things could have resulted in your ban.
Your best bet is to buy a new copy and never use chat again. Go research Mccarthyism and it’ll explain everything.
Good luck to you.
This is absolutely false, and your historical reference doesn’t even make sense. How is a chat issue related to “witch hunts” for purported communists?
This account seems obviously to have been hacked, meaning the suspension is related to its security, not to actions taken by the owner. The OP has contacted Support, which is the right thing to do, and we’ll help as soon as we are able.
False? You mean if a guildy reports me that I won’t get banned? You’re telling me that anyone can’t report you for any small infraction can get immediately banned? I beg to differ not on suspicions but on fact. I was banned for a crude joke containing no cuss words, no racial slurs.
What’s to stop a guildy that you don’t get along with to bait you into a fight in guild chat then reporting you?
Mccarthyism is a perfect example of this type of society. Gw2 is the closest to a withhunt I’ve ever seen in a video game. Hello Kitty online has looser banning guidelines and that game has pedophiles lurking in it.
Name me one game in the last 10 years of the internet that has layed out this many bans in 1 week? ………..no answer yet? Because there hasn’t been one ever. I know you can get banned for nearly anything because I am the victim of it.
If you disagree with me then post my entire Gw2 chat history for the public to see. Fact is fact. It is a well known that facts have a liberal bias. Prove me wrong.
