Guild Wars 2

agreed even tho i wish there was more to it . and so forth but if you do all the different lines . in my book it does make the game more interesting to play

seams like they have this in the game already . not sure tho which one it is but i do remember seeing a norm with this style . but also too i think the azure as well now i think about it

I think at this point the discussion has gotten way off topic and the responses are now ranging from childish meme’s to threats of quitting the game over this.

Gaile might I suggest it be closed and let CS decide their stance/action on this issue and just let it be done. I don’t think your going to garner any additional constructive discussion on the matter.

This topic has been a joke since the start and never deserved constructive responses. It should be locked and forgotten. Anet will have their usual response to reports for things that actually deserve attention (doing nothing) and apply it to this.

looky here then tell me for the life of me PLEASE tell me why this is has not been done yet

YES i want to know that answer !!!!!!!!!!! and i also want the answer as to why they have not said word on this topic at all and it,s not locked . ask me i think there is something
in the water today going around or maybe the lack of the water going around. in any case yes this should been locked long again like by page 3 . and i think it is clear by now they will not give us a answer on this at all!!! and if they do i will be shocked i just might give you a full bottle of good wine . !!!!

My posting was too good for them to lock the thread yet, obviously.

obviously and iam ok with that and here is two bottles of good wine. sigh care for some

crackers and cheese with it too ???? might as well make the best of this all eh and

enjoy the good show we got here maybe :P

Cronos.6532:

actual opinion on this though, shouldn’t be bannable. poll it or something

It shouldn’t even have been addressed, it was a complete and utter overreaction error much like the over zealous wintersday 2012 bannings.

Now they will have to address and most likely section a part of the cs team for spoiler infractions on every upcoming game, movie, tv show etc because some players feelings were mediocrely hurt.

It a bit saddening though to see that this star wars movie will be the last movie a majority of people will see though RIP, If they aren’t dying then they need to develop some coping skills pronto.

but then they would have to hire some more better coders and so forth to make that

all happen but i do think they would do something like that it might cost them too

now if you can get banned for them and you can not get banned for apes . that is too funny

apes?

yes that is what i said but then could even be money too . and i think that will not even give you a problem with it too :P

If you think about it Star Wars is irrelevant to this discussion.

Not quite. It was mentioned in the thread that people went on to spoil HoT after the release without getting any form of punishment. Gaile mentioned that she wasn’t talking about spoilers like Rosebud (which is actually spoiled in the Hints: section right above when you are posting).
Where is the line when you are allowed to post spoilers and when not? That is, at least to me, very unclear.

It seemed pretty clear to me based on Gailes post. Old spoilers for things people are highly likely to have already read/watched/played etc. should they want to are not a problem. E.g. the plot to a 20 year old movie or 10 year old game.

Things which are brand new, like the plot to the new Star Wars or Heart of Thorns which you can reasonably expect many people will not have had the opportunity to experience for themselves yet should not be posted all over the forum.

But where is the line? When am I allowed to talk about spoilerish things without having to fear to cause an outrage. I saw Predestination early 2015. Am I allowed to ‘spoiler’ it or is it sill too early? For me, it’s still not clear when things are clear.

all well and fully good questions there and worth the asking. but lets say in some of these cases with this company i find it is better to grab a few cases of good wine and some crackers and cheese and head for the woods and bushes . and send others out till they come back with the right answers or they do not come back at all . mean while at lest the crackers and cheese and wine is good and filling while trapping wild life and other interesting things in the woods :P

RedBaron.6058:

Please BLOCK the spoilers and close this thread.

This thread is too embarrassing for the complainers and ANet itself.

they have not locked this topic yet over on the REDIT forums . pretty sure they will not

lock this topic here too . if they was going to lock this topic it would have already

happened by now and Anet would we hope have made this topic very clear cut on there take on this in both forums . there is plenty of reason lets say for this topic to be

LOCKED but yet its not so it just keeps going on till other wise.

and with no room for other questions to be dragged in to this topic sigh .

now giving how this topic is now being covered as well over on Redit forums . and yet in both places there is NO ANET replying at ALL NOT even COLIN him self has said word one about this.

About that part, I’m pretty sure most of the Anet staff are away/home for the holidays right now. "As the ArenaNet staff takes time to enjoy the holidays and spend time with loved ones, we’d like to wish you and yours a happy holiday season as well. "

idk i seen a drev posting just a little bit ago in the pvp forums . and i thank you for the wishes . and the same back to you too as well even tho there is work and so forth still going on . ahh lets say we are still enjoying this time of the year fully. and hope you do the same . cheer.s

now giving how this topic is now being covered as well over on Redit forums . and yet in both places there is NO ANET replying at ALL NOT even COLIN him self has said word one about this. while it is all telling in of it,s self. but yet makes one wounder if and when they do speak out on this . and could happen of what is to come . and how many get banned for this all together . will be telling in its own self all together sigh but yet no word on both forums at all from Anet by NOW hummm. other then page 3 they must be talking about it too by now or at lest seen it . and thinking about it . in any case . i hope anet makes this topic matter all the way around clear for us all to get the concepts of there thoughts on said matter . mean while the threads keep running full blast . while in game i report and block said people who break rules of said topic for greafing me with whispers even tho all chats are set to off .

Forgot to add. I cannot believe this thread is even being considered by ANET. Laughable. So much politically correct BS these days. Lol.

Let alone a dev actually responded to it trying to set a ruling. Pathetic.

oh really Pathetic sounds like you like to test waters with Anet too .

how come it is easy to see what is going to be soon coming . now knowing this will not be good or even end well . sigh oh well some are not willing to see the light so be it . there lose .

English ist not my first language. Should I maybe rephrase it to ‘miserable’? By not closing this topic and actually responding trying to ‘fix’ it with what it seems to be not over thinking the whole situation, the situation as whole was handled… miserable.
I am not trying to get banned. I’m just stating my opinion and question the posts by the dev on page 3 to clarify as to what I am allowed to do or not.

not that i woundered or any thing like that but it did come to my mind you might not be from the USA . so i kinda took that in to count. but yet it is good to ask questions . and hope we can get the right answers with out being tossed out on our ears for it too m8 . and i can agree with you there too btw the question not ask is the same question not answered . kinda two sides of a coin idea if you will

Berry Pun Pup.6904:

I assume Anet’s policy on trolling with spoilers will be the same as their policy with any other in game report.

Show Spoiler

hide spoiler

They won’t do anything

pretty much i would have to say . that is there answers to that fully . and i see no room for questions of other kinds on it to come into play but yet others sure are trying to do just that lol

Crimson Clouds.4853:

Trolling is trolling- it doesn’t matter what the subject of the trolling is.

If somebody is discussing anything with the intention of upsetting or annoying people, it should be looked at by the moderation team/CS.

Trolls are using Star Wars spoilers as the subject matter as it can quite easily upset a large number of people in one go.

Usually “en-masse” trolls use distasteful or controversial topics to get attention or upset (e.g. racism/sexism/homophobia). I guess this is different because the subject matter would usually be allowed, but the intention behind it that causes problems.

This means that CS will likely be very choosy about who to punish for such things. There has to be very clear evidence that the “trolls” are indeed spoiling for kicks rather than discussing. For example, somebody spamming spoilers in map chat, changing to other popular maps and repeating is more likely to get an infraction than somebody mentioning a spoiler when discussing the topic jovially.

Tl;dr: It’s about the intent, not the content. It doesn’t matter if it’s spoilers or an inflammatory joke. The results can be the same.

very true

Bigsexy.8302:

This is ridiculous. If Anet starts banning people for this I’m out.

Spoilers for movies is not against the EULA/ToS.

If you can’t handle the internet, unplug your network cable.

Blude.6812:

and now some have taken to sending in game e-mails with spoilers.
Just ban all the the people who are spam spoiling until wintersday activities are over with an additional 2 weeks on top.

well if they are doing that then report them and then block them and move on and have a good day

Berry Pun Pup.6904:

The only fair thing to do is ban everyone who posted in this thread and me twice as long for posting so many times. Then ban everyone who cares about Star Wars either enough to care about spoilers or enough to know the spoilers in the first place. Then work on actually balancing pvp (the least likely thing to be followed through on).

grabs a bigger bag and bans you to the bushes :P

Eight Samurai.6840:

Xehanort.7034:

so, leeme get this straight: instead of reporting and banning instance hijackers or genuine map griefers, you want people to report other people who spoil a MOVIE that’s not, in any way, shape or form related to GW2, to CS so you can ban them.

uh, really? are you really sure THAT’s what you should have CS be focusing on?

The point is that an individual is purposely doing something that may make a GW2 player NOT want to log on and play the game. Not to mention that these people thrive on other’s dissatisfaction. And just because you report someone for leaking spoilers doesn’t mean you can’t report other people too. Not sure where you are going with this.

Also, just to note that whether you agree or not, this new Star Wars movie is going to be a ground breaking movie for old and new fans. The internet literally broke back in October when they announced prepurchase tickets. It beat Hunger Games, who had the previous record for most prepurchased tickets, 8 times over with just the tickets sold for IMAX alone. It will be the first movie to break a billion dollars in the box office.

pulls out ax and says in a cruel soft voice hold it right there MISTER !!! and do not move !! you mean to tell me there is something called hunger games ?? !!!! how DARE YOU !!!!!!!! other hand takes out big bag tossing over your head . and kicking you into the bushes for safe keeping . grabs a wine bottle and thinks now how there easy life is now so runnind to only find out there is something called hunger games drinks wine while sobbing my life is now a total mess thanks to you !!!

Pathetic how this thread got even started and is still going on. Like your life is gonna take a dark turn after you hear a spoiler from the new Star Wars movie. Even so, if spoilers from the new Star Wars are okay to be reported, then all spoilers should be. What privileges the new Star Wars movie from other movies?
Sad how this community turned to be a bunch of easily offended whiners.

no it is the community doing the right thing for the right reasons . and yes the same should go for other things too . like i said already in other posts . this is not other company . it is Anet and they call the shots here and make the rules as they see fit . we in turn give them money for that said game to be given to us as they promised it to be and not with other things added into the game by other people like mods and so forth . and talking like that can get a ban as well from what the toss and form rules tells me

If this gets be banned or my post gets deleted, wouldn’t that just prove my point given in the last sentence?

If I understand you correctly that you agree with me that if you ban me people for spoiling the new Star Wars film, people posting spoilers to other movies/tv-shows/games/whatever should be banned too.
But what if find a topic that me and other people don’t like to be talked about in map chat? What if I feel offended when people talk about how great Star Wars is? What if that is ruining my day because I can’t have a normal discussion in map chat because everyone talks about Star Wars? Someone spoiled today the Miss Universe show to me. That’s a global event. Should I have reported that person?
The answer is the same as when do spoilers are ‘okay’ like Gaile mentioned in her post like Rosebud? Do I have to wait so and so years before I am allowed to ‘spoil’ the movie? How does it change? Because it’s older? So can I spoil the initial Guild Wars 2 campaign to someone new because it is already old?
Again, the answer is strictly with ANet, and with Gaile’s posts there ruling is more than debatable. But oh my, is it even allowed to question those posts? Better just follow without questioning everything.

short and long of it if you do not ask a question then how do you know it is or it is not ok to do it in the game. that is called reading the rules . of the game and looking for updates to said rules . as the game makers see fit . but personally i think it is best to leave some things out of the game and not bring them into said game for any reason thus i do not have to worry at all about rule books or changes to said rule book,s :P

it is clear you missed Ms.Greys post on this matter and yes yup really we do want them banned for things like this . as it is something put into the game by people and not the game makers it,s self

There is a guildie of mine, whom by all accounts would have probably been banned from most other guilds from all the stuff she pulled. The other day starts shouting and spamming a supposed spoiler in my guild chat. I ended up blocking her and itching to kick her from the guild. I have IMAX tickets to see the movie in NYC this Christmas Eve, and if she did in fact spoil it she will be kicked (for the last time) the moment I get home. It will be nice because this movie is PROBABLY going to be amazing, and I won’t have to deal with her again

congrats for doing the right thing and making the right calls . shame she can not see her mistakes for this. she will just have to learn the hard way lol . btw hope you enjoy the movie you want to see and hope it is good as you hope it to be

I know the movie will be great regardless of a spoiler. I think what she said would happen anyway because it was very predictable, and story wise, it makes sense (I won’t say more). Also, JJ Abrams is a Star Wars nerd and his Star Trek movies were closer to be SW than ST anyway haha. But yeah, as a more rational co-leader of mine said after talking to him about what she did, said that she only does what she does to get attention. To me this is going to be the last straw after 2 years of her in the guild.

omg wow now that is what you call being a very patient person . that long iam not sure i could make it :P. and the co leader also making the right calls here too . and i hope it is just good in any case. and it is what you hope it to be and more

It’s just so silly that people say it’s all ruined, they cry, they want someone perm banned, they QQ in forums cuz of a spoiler.
Really? Is this World really come to this?
We all care just about a “secret”, just about “one part”. Where is all that movies has to offer, is that all unimportant?

Frodo throw ring and beats Sauron! Oh noooo, you spoiled all!!! Now I will not watch movie and I will not read books! You are so mean, sooo mean, you should go in prison!! Or get banned in game! Unrelated to Lotr!

See how silly it is? Just cuz of one tiny part of whole that you can enjoy, you choose not to enjoy it at all!
If that’s the reason, then you are watching and doing things with wrong reasons! And all there is to be, is just that “secret”, just those “few seconds”, cuz everything else is ruined – you don’t even care about other things!

Seems like it’s more important to find out a “secret” then the actual story itself.
Pity.

Reporting someone doesn’t mean they want a permaban, stop being so hysterical. People want some sort of punitive action taken against spoilers, that’s all, what’s so hard to understand about that?

If you spoil a movie for a friend, do you honestly believe they won’t get annoyed? Now how do you think a total stranger would react in the same situation?

You kinda throw word “hysterical” without any reasons. I’m really calm, my emotions are controlled, just putting my opinions out there.

It’s hard not to see you as being hysterical when you exaggerate what’s going on here and actively try to get yourself banned by insulting Gaile over it.

will you now stop quoting me or I’ll have to ignore you? As I’ve said, I’m not into discussion about me and how I chose to act! You don’t know me, you know yourself and people around you, what you are seeing is the reflection of your own reality from which you get feelings and ideas about my reality and me – which is different.

Wow. I don’t like spoilers either but I don’t see any particular reason that BY ITSELF ALONE it would be something to report in a game. Can anyone please point out for me the relevant text in the game’s license that forbids it?

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.
Repeatedly spamming spoilers in map chat and lfg is straight up harassment and griefing and SHOULD be met with the appropriate response of a suspension.

I love how this was ignored completely.

yeah really its like they do not even see them posts at all . looking out into the woods calling me. sigh its them people you can not feel sorry for when they are like that . with posts like this :P

Can I have your stuff?

What would you like? Say fast – I’m getting banned soon

Drama Queen! ¬.¬
Unless you’ve spoiled Star Wars, in which case Yea probably.

Not really Drama Queen, I actually did a thing very very offensive, against the rules, which is worth of perm ban. And I acted my own way, so I’m fine with that. I’ll not be anyone’s puppet, there is noone who gets special treatment, in my eyes – all are equal, cuz we all are humans.

But yea, you got that thing right, I didn’t spoil Star Wars – so maybe I don’t get perm banned. haha, funny right?

Honestly, you’re really overreacting as this isn’t something worth getting yourself banned over. Gaile is simply saying you can report abusive behavior, and ruining other people’s fun is abusive.

That’s your opinion. Let’s leave it at that. I’m really not into discussion about me, thank you very much

but you sure are trying to do just that . even with your posts edited . it is still clear on what your saying. and attacking Ms. Grey i can see this is not going to end well . that is clear

just make a new toon and go running off into the woods and so forth . and take what bag,s you can get with you . and have fun and work on your stuff as you go

As one of the people say in the video, “it is up to the individual to protect themselves, as there is no clear definition of what even begins to be a spoiler”

Let me also state here that i have ZERO sympathy for those individuals that intentionally and not in the context of a chat discussion just shoot out movie details.

even tho this has noting at all to do with the game or any thing at all . and the fact it bored me even more . watching these videos honestly has no point at all to video games or even guild wars 2 at all . wonders how long before this topic is now locked and hope fully the cs team makes it clear to all on this topic what the rules are for matters like this .

While I agree with you on the point about other things in the game more worthwhile discussing in the forums than this topic, this topic was made still and I shared the video only to try to contribute to the discussion.

And your boredom interests those invested in this discussion as much as this topic interests you.

What I’m saying is, if you have nothing to contribute to the discussion, you’re free to refrain from it. Your disdain is important only to yourself.

I say that being somebody who cannot understand the appreciation of the millions for a movie franchise that has little to offer beyond amateur direction, cringe-worthy acting, and the most banal dialog (not including Episode VII, I haven’t watched that one yet).

thanks for the laugh . and while i do get it and not only that have seen all the movies of this when they came out from the very first one to this one. and can get into it all . the adult in me says it is best to leave these things to more better places and not places called a video game . where like this topic only brings pain and discontent to others . like i said its just something that should not be a video game unless the makers of said video game put it in the game it,s self in some way shape and form . like rock star and another company that shall be nameless does .

Wow. I don’t like spoilers either but I don’t see any particular reason that BY ITSELF ALONE it would be something to report in a game. Can anyone please point out for me the relevant text in the game’s license that forbids it?

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.
Repeatedly spamming spoilers in map chat and lfg is straight up harassment and griefing and SHOULD be met with the appropriate response of a suspension.

agreed and very well said . and i hope Anet does just that !!! and makes it clear as day or night to all players so they all know the rules and can not say oh but but i did not know that .

Prime Greek.1092:

I am sorry but i have a big issue with this “Reporting Policy”.

So we are now going to start reporting everyone for anything that “may” spoil someone else life ? Whats the next movie or event we will pick to do this on ? Are political and religious events included ? What about cultural issues ?

Where does this end ?

Yes. I agree that its not “morally” right to be doing this, but whats next ?

“ANET, please put a gag order on everything and anything on the game because it will spoil my life !”

The whole internet, radio and TV is full of spoilers for the new Star Wars movie.

My local TV here in CT was discussing certain major events in the movie 1 day after it showed !!! Talk about spoilers there on 6 pm news !

I say “live and live”.

Like someone else said, for those that do not want to be “spoiled” set your chat to your guild, assuming you have no idiots there and leave there until you see the movie.

This “eye for an eye” approach is getting ridiculous.

Some common sense would go a long way, and some “under-reaction” rather than “over-reaction” would also help.

My 10 cents…

that might be but there are things hear that are covered under toss and eula that can get you banned . and it should be like that not every wants to hear about religious or

cultural issues in a video game at all . that is why its called a video game to get away from them said matters . and that is just it right there it is the internet after all and some things should be kept there and out of the video games . thus that is why games have things called toss and eula rules to cover them matters.

when some one says this is It’s completely ridiculous. you can only see where they are going to next. and some times some are just too hard headed to see the light like i said before and this is how i think it should go in these cases . frist time 60 day bann second time a 90 day ban . and the 3rd time prema bann. and i hope the cs team posts on this saying it clear for others to get there heads around. and it is cases like this why i keep my chats turned off .

So you think it’s entirely justified for someone to lose their account for two months, perhaps three, for discussing a movie?

And then you suggest they PERMANENTLY lose their account? An account some have spent THOUSANDS of hours on, because they mentioned something that has absolutely literally nothing to do with Guild Wars 2? This is simply preposterous.

yes i do and the reason why is clear as day its self you said it even your self . and i quote
that has absolutely literally nothing to do with Guild Wars 2 end quote . and this is not
preposterous. as you claim it to be . and case in point look at how the forums are run . very clear and cut and dried rules . and no room for misguided ideas or topic,s. it should be more clear then day or night it,s self .

Please do that. It helps us immensely in cutting down on RMT spam, and, more importantly, on nailing the people who steal accounts. (It’s often a stolen account being used to advertise, so your report can help on two levels.)

Hi Gaile. As I also report gold sellers, I noticed they were still able to whisper me after I reported them. I was therefore wondering if it could be possible to implement some kind of system that would disable players/gold sellers of whispering us until we log out, after we reported them for verbal abuse, gold selling or scamming? I find it a bit weird that I would need to manually block players/gold sellers after I reported them in order to disable them of whispering me.

after you reported them the best we got right now is to only manually block players/gold sellers after reporting said player/goldsellers . other wise they still can whisper you .

I don’t know what it is, i just can’t enjoy it that much anymore. I have 5 lv80 characters, and i only mostly use 1 of them. I don’t know, everything just feels so kitten repetitive and bland, how do i make it fun again?

if you really want to make this fun again for you . just do this the toon that you do not hardly use very much . make a new and FOR GET ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW !!!!

then with new toon made just make sure you got 4 20 slot bag,s and some gold to go with you . and go running like i did and go all over the place . and done think about it

JUST DO IT !!!:) . oh yeah do not do hearts or the other stuff at most get the skill point,s . and then when you feel ready to take this toon to spots like pvp and such go for it . other wise do not do it if you do not feel ready . you do what i told you do with out thinking about it in the end of it all . i think it might hit you . just got a new game for free . trust me i learned this the hard way and made the game more fun for me again . and oh yeah once i been to every spot i have not been too and i got all the skill points and world mapping done . THEN go back and get the other stuff now i hope you enjoy your new free game

yes report them by all ways possible. it is time to wipe out these hackers .

Not 100%, but sometimes I just wish bad bad things regarding some people in games.

So a guy is in LA spamming Star Wars spoilers. Nice.

PS: I’ve seen it already but C’MON!

Report it. Please!!

this is great news to hear !!!!!!!! shame thos that do these things can not be given a 60 day ban for doing thing,s like this .

now i know why iam not even paying attention at all to winters day even at all .

think the only reason the even put jumping puzzles in the game in the first place. is so we have something to jump for . there thinking like we would not know how to or even use the jump buttons in the first place .

RNG is RNG. There was no nerf; you just had a luckier streak a few weeks ago than you’re having now.

i would not say that so fast . i gotten 2 key,s today from doing personal story and in the last month i gotten a number of key,s from doing personal stories . so i would say it has not one thing at all to do with this rng stuff you talk about what ever it is . its not reall . just do personal stories and you get key,s . that simple and easy not like we are trying to make a new video game here or some new content :P

2 weeks from now if i remember right . and look out for them gift box,s all over the place . they are the bomb lol

Anet will not do that at all . for them free to play is now big . and it is all done and over and there is no use crying about it now. besides the drev,s will not even answer this post or any thing on there own forums. maybe you should try redit at lest they will see it maybe otherwise your out of luck .

You made the same mistake as Agemnon, it might be worth actually reading the OP (and the rest of the thread) before responding.

And yes, I agree with what the OP is saying! Waste of time!

read the post fully its more or less what ever and yes it is pretty much a waste of time for topics like this anet or drev,s never read these forums posts any how

at lest this is a event . the sad part is they never add new stuff to it and this is the only few events even at all in the game that happen every year. compared to gw1 even tho gw1 is still the same events every year. at lest they are event,s . yeah there is somethings i dont like but yet at lest i got a chance to finish stuff up .
