Curse

Well after a brake of around 2-3weeks from gw due to vacations i returned and started playing again. Dunno y but it came to me to go buy a tormented shield. So i go to kamadan eu2 and ask at local chat what's the price range of ambrace of truth atm. Next thing i know a guy pm's me and starts swearing at my mom, like "stick your *** up ya mum". I replied that im gonne report him without swearing or anything and he said "do you *** your mommy" so i asked a friend what i must do. He said take screenshots of the event the timezone and send an email to anet. Well thats what i did, i went to the support site and searched what i must do to report someone. I think it said you needed a screenshot, time+timezone, location. So i sent an email with every single detail even my char name at that time etc etc. The next day anet replies that they gonne forward the ticket: "we are transferring your ticket to our in-game/technical support staff who will make contact as soon as possible." CONTANT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Thats about 3days for anet without any contant until my ticket expires bc if i dont reply within 72hours my ticket expires. Anyways i replied to anet asking what's going on and why noone contacted me. The answer was that they Thank me (Wouhou!) for reporting. Well guess what the guy that i reported who kept swearing without any reason is still playing...I even pm'ed 1.5week after the incident and he was laughing.
GG Support FTL
p.s. i think next time i should be the one using vulgar language, and scamming since support team is on vacations or something.

Reporting does work with proper proof. depending on the violation the player only gets a mark on their account and marks can be removed after a time.

if anet banned for everything, no one would play it. the cost wouldnt be worth the risk.

also if you use profanity and start scamming, you are no better than they are and deserve their fate.

i would like to offer my understanding on this issue, i support the BanHammer and Reporting. People who dont wanna follow the rules shouldnt be allowed to play. its unfair to those of us who do follow the rules.

i would suggest Not trading with players at all unless you can find a very hard to find item for a very good price. dont buy farmable items, you can get them yourself. only buy unfarmable items Mini Grawl 20k, yes please. Tormented items for 100k+, LoL no thanks.

They don't ban permanently. Temporarily is the usual case. Anyways, why would it matter? Banning someone ($100 US roughly) for swearing a little bit? In a private message? Similarly, can you ticket someone for texting swears to you?

Use Your Chat Filter

Guardian of the Light · Aug 26, 2007, 11:00 PM // 23:00

To quote one of my good friends, if you are offended by this then you should have turned on the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing filter!

Inger · Aug 26, 2007, 11:07 PM // 23:07

i thought it was only a bannable offense if the person went and deliberately circumvented the filter?

Relambrien · Aug 26, 2007, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Support doesn't tell you if they ban (temporarily or otherwise) the guy or not.

He may very well have been banned; it's just that as a policy, they don't tell you whether or not they did anything. One and a half weeks after the ticket was sent, he would be off his ban by then anyway. Especially if it was just for foul language; that's about a 3-day ban at most.

Seriously, there are features in game, namely the Ignore feature, that helps you ignore people.

Telling us isn't going to help your case. Gaile isn't going to come in and coddle you by telling you "Everything is alright". People swear. It's not pleasant, but that's life. Sorry.

I WAS 5 YEAR OLD, you guys are like 45, GET A LIFE and quit being babies please.

you guys are soo lame, no offense but thats what u are

1. You don't know the age of the posters.
2. Your playing the same game, and posting on this thread, and the same forum as the people your telling to get a life....Good Job.
3. Learn proper spelling.
4. Some people are offended by swearing, no need to get offended by that....

Maturity comes with age.. *rofls* best thing I've heard all day, Accordingly to the maturity + age of the people on this fourm, that is proven wrong.

I know plenty of young people under the age of 18 who are more mature then people above it.

As for the OP, I'd just suggest not bothering with vulgar offenders and just move on, not really worth it to ban, and if it bothers you that much - then yeah, Chat filter or Ignore list.

I asked because the OP was being pretty mature about it.

Or better yet, add *NO* limit, or at least make it so people not on your friends list are ignored.a

You didn't get the joke

When was language a bannable offense?

You can turn on the chat filter, or you can turn it off. If you don't want to hear swears, turn it on. If you don't mind, turn it off.

I mean, not even public chat should be an offense, just because there's a filter that you can use.

pork soldier · Aug 27, 2007, 02:33 AM // 02:33

let me just say this again:

Use Your Chat Filter

and quit RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing complaining

WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE IN THE ABOVE LINK!

Turn on your filter if you hate swears. You can report people if you feel like it, but honestly, it's not worth getting as worked up about it as you are.
