Unnessary, you can screen shot the abusive language and send in a report ticket with time /date/district info and they will be banned just like in the old days before /report existed.

The main problem isn't the fact that the OP is offended. It's that these people are rude and inconsiderate, and if they go on the way they do, they should be punished. It doesn't matter if the chat can be filtered or not, they need to be punished for undesirable behavior. Just because it's online doesn't mean you can just go around talking shit about other races.

But yeah, I do think it's unnecessary since screenshots still work.

God forbid anyone ever be offended. Gosh, I mean, that would be just terrible!

It would be alot less time consuming, and more people would get banned, which means a more friendly community.

ALOT of people don't use the screenshot ---> report ticket, because most people are lazy (including me). If you could just do /report instead of screenshotting things, it would be alot better.

I understand where you are comming from, but you said it yourself. "ALOT of people don't use the screenshot ---> report ticket, because most people are lazy (including me)". So you're saying because of lazy people (including yourself) A-Net has to change the way things are reported? If you really wanted the person reported, I'm sure you would find a way. There is a chat filter and ignore list for a reason. A-net also accepts Screen Shots as a report. If you don't want to hear/listen to that language , just turn it off. Its 2008, if people are still stuck on race/religion as a means to clash; They = Fail x 6. They're just doing it to push buttons anyways, and you fuel the fire by getting mad.

/report or filter as is is good enough if someones behavior bothers them that much they can contact Anet directly through other means with screenie evidence.

But imo anyone bothered that much by petty things as something typed in a chat is stooping to the same level as the offender. /ignore and be done with it even if someone zones you can still do that.

There is really no way to stop dolts from trying to stir up trouble if thats how they get off there will always be new ones or the same will find another way.

However frustrating there are the means in place for people to handle most of this themselves.
Anet really has better things they could be doing than be censors and net police.

This has been already brought up many times:
- If they leave the distrcit.
- If they whisper you.
- If they have traded or been in the same party as you.
In cases like those, there should be a time leeway of 2..5 minutes, during which you can /report people that have interacted with you.

It would be nice if we could report any the second they do something wrong. It would be nice if they could never player guild wars again. But, that's not going to happen. For the system we or any other system we could have, people need to do their part if they are offended enough to want to report someone. Ignore, change districts, or try to report them.

And really what does reporting them really get? I've been supposedly reported a million times. I've never been banned. Even if I was, I would just go buy Guild Wars again. So report people if you want, or just move on.
