So this is why people dislike the /report system?

It clearly needs some work...

Eldin · Jan 30, 2008, 12:51 AM // 00:51

This could be a problem. Now I'm afraid to report anyone considering they may be highly intelligent bots.

Also, we can't nuke trial accounts. Why can't we bring them up to work with the report system the way normal accounts do? I always thought trial accounts were the same as normal accounts anyway, except when time runs out the characters/areas are locked. It should not have any affect on the actual type of account or what aspects of the code affect it.

OP = A
Bot = B
Other Dude = C

A reported B. B didn't get reported. A saw C's name. A whispered C. C was like "OMG NO WAY!" C said he reported B, but A's name came up instead of B. A and C reported each other for B's crime.
FIN.

You got it!

Just happened to me, but here's the list of places it happened:

Kamadan AD1, 2 and 4.
Kaineng Center
House Zu Heltzer
Cavalon
Gunnar's Hold
Shing Jea Monastery

What surprises me is there are none in Lion's Arch.

Darkobra · Jan 30, 2008, 12:56 AM // 00:56

Did you click on the bot first so you had his name highlighted at the top?

Darksun · Jan 30, 2008, 12:59 AM // 00:59

wow.. this sucks. Needs to be in the bugs section so they can see it.

Great Temple of Balthazar International is a hotbed for bot-spammers.

Every single time I've entered that zone this week I've gotten whisper-spammed by gold-sellers, not to mention the usual gold-selling spam in Local. I reported a few spammers in the past, but they just seem to multiply.

In response to the OP's issue, I haven't had that happen to me when I've used the /report feature. The last time I've used it must have been a couple weeks ago, so maybe it's a new problem.

Guys if 1 person reports someone, Anet doesn't go "AMAGAD INSTA-BANZ0r3D!!!111one1!"

If a few people report someone for the same offense..then they will look into it.

Just to clear things up..

Loli Krasivaya · Jan 30, 2008, 01:12 AM // 01:12

The bot probably got your name and zoned. The /report INSERT NAME HERE only works if he's in your zone, so if you type it and he's not it will just report whatever character you had nearest you at the time.

Lady Yuna · Jan 30, 2008, 01:17 AM // 01:17

another good reason to never both touching the "/report" =p

well, so far nobody got banned, that's good news

Masseur · Jan 30, 2008, 01:28 AM // 01:28

I thought the only way to report is to target them and type /report. I'm not sure there is anything it recognizes after the /report, like a name.

No, this works, too:

Or it's supposed to.

edit:@OP One question mark is enough. Please don't use six. Thanks.

when i first started playing gw i didn't know anyone except my boyfriend so went into ascalon city and there was a group of people standing around chatting in local i said hi and joined the convo anyway i made some friends and added them to my friends list

the next evening i tried to log in to find i had been banned for 71 hours for spamming! i email anet and ask whats going on and i get a message back saying something about excessive use of the all chat channel i was gobsmacked

after my 71 hour ban was up i pm the people i was talking to to find they had been banned too

so what lots of people reported us for having a convo in the all chat channel?

i just don't get how anet deal with these reports
