Ive noticed that with the ability to leave and leech somewhat gone, Their are alot more griefers going around. Especially runners who make a build soly based on healing themselves and running around, or 55 monk in RA/AB.

It would be nice to just have a generall "griefing" option in the /report feature.

I'm not sure I agree with this because there are options to either deny him of energy to maintain his spells or you could bring an enchantment stripper.

Besides, don't you win if only one guy is alive on the other team when time is up?

I think an even better idea is to revert the dishonor update and let everyone be free. Sure, there will be leavers, but then YOU yourself (as well as all other players) would have the freedom to just map back to RA and re-roll another team that has no leavers (usually when team is balanced). People would leave generally because of forseen failure; it was a waste of time to stick around watching your team get hammered knowing fully well that no monk (or 2-3 monks) = 50-90% chance of failure. The other 10-50% is alloted to those rare instances where you have really good self-healing, high-dps team that comes once in a blue moon. If the system's reverted, /report is removed and leeching can be reported directly at their website (as it was before) then gwars in PvP would be normal again as it was for the past 2 years. *IMO*

i wouldnt mind 55 in ab/RA as remove hexes and other counters.
as mentioned above just counter there build but maybe if they brought in somthing like if you have 2 more players then other team other team loses? as it would take some luck/skill to win that.

so having a certian build and using it in a certian way makes you a greifer??

people who just constantly run (weve all seen that ranger in RA im sure..) just suck, and a 55 is flimsy as f---

If I had a dollar for every RA match I was in that had some 55 monk that pinged his HP every 2 seconds in an attempt to PO our group I'd probably have several thousand dollars. If only making money was that easy...

If griefing is on the report list, then "general retardedness" and "bad at game" should be on the list too.

That I can agree with.

/report <Half the player base>

Mineria · Oct 31, 2007, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Cool another lets report the newbies suggestion, since they will look as someone griefing.
Specially in AB/RA where you pug for the PvP.
Don't you get something to high up your nose?!?

nugzta · Oct 31, 2007, 06:20 AM // 06:20

The system is not perfect, there is no way you can tell people who are griefing and people who are bad at game/newbie/testing builds.

inviting people's opinions into a way of punishment is not a good idea in the slightest.
imagine how many people would report for griefing if they get struck down by a SP sin out of the blue in AB for example, sadly half the players of GW could not be trusted with such a device.

what i really mean is, the report system is already open to enough abuse. this would obliterate any "unabusability" left in the system

sorry sometimes people builds just suck. Its not always their fault. Sometimes like with me and a friend, we go in with odd builds just to see if they work. It is a game after all.

I don't like his build, report him. I don't particularly like the colour of the guru website, report it. I don't like cheese and onion crisps, report them.

This has to be the worst idea I've ever read here.

As annoying as runners may be, you would generally have more than one person alive if it's just one other left on the other team.
Just wait out the timer... though it's painful to.

Oh I Know. I actually only posted this too see just how much everyone hated the flaws of the report feature.

QFT.

"Low intelligence" would be a nice addition.

Except....I'd have to restrain myself from the 700-odd reports I'd be sending in everyday.

No you didn't. You actually liked the idea and are now trying to cover up, because no one else likes it.

To be honest, there is nothing tehcnically "wrong" with someone running an "invincible" build in AB (I'm not endorsing it, there is nothing "wrong" with it - but it is a bad build)...if people are stupid enough to realise that the enemy Earth Tank/55HP monk serves no purpose other than to stand there and enchant themselves then your side deserves to lose. When it happens on my side, I announce it in team and request people just ignore them. What is an Earth Tank going to do anyway? Kill you with Churning Earth? I think not.

RA is smaller, and so it is a little more annoying. I've been up against Rangers and the like who equip block skills and just run and run. They're not fun, but can be beaten. RA is awkward in that you don't know what skills your team is going to have, but one thing they invariably never seem to have is a non-spell based enchantment removal. I started taking one for a while, and it can come in pretty handy.

In short, if your team doesn't have counters for every potential enemy, sod's law says you will get that enemy, or you will be teamed with people stupid enough to try to beat it in the most futile way possible.

Builds just need better planning imo.
