Is forcing people to smell your armpits abuse? - Guild Wars Forums

Lucon · Jun 27, 2005, 10:51 PM // 22:51

A few days ago in Lion's Arch, I took my mesmer's shirt off, then went and stood next to monks in a way that makes it look like they're smelling my armpits. I love doing this to monks because their models are always shorter. Anyway, I was following one around, not actually saying anything but everytime she stopped stopping next to her in the correct position, and she said something to the effect of "stop or ill report u." So my question is, can I get reported for doing this?

You gotta be a few chips short of a motherboard to even post that as a question...

I know I'd be reporting any lower form of life that annoys me continuely in the game.

Arvydas · Jun 27, 2005, 10:57 PM // 22:57

unless you get consent from another player to perform such act and take a screenie for fun, you're ruining other's gameplay...

try doing that in RL, and see if you'll get arrested.

Blow_Holez · Jun 27, 2005, 10:59 PM // 22:59

Lol, it is a dumb question, but getting reported and then being punished for it would be a little overboard.

however a warning with a day or so cooling off period would be ok

oh good if the whining has reached this point then maybe we should change the name of the game to Report Wars and just see how many people we can report, by the way, try running around with a pet off of a leash in real life, you can lose the pet and be fined, and try standing in front of someone and not letting them by, like in one of the missions, in real life that is sexual harrassment, so as long as guild wars is real life now i think we need lawyer henchmen we can take with us, and the ability to sue others for gold.

LOL! Lawyer Henchmen!

I'm sorry but that's taking things a bit too far in the wrong direction. What the OP is doing is attempting to hamper other's enjoyment of the game. This is a clear violation of the ToS and should be reported if it's done on a continual basis. There's no reason to log on for the sole purpose of annoying people. If that's what the point that we've reached then maybe we should call the game Idiot Wars instead.

If you honestly believe that this is a legitimate way of treating others then you have just as serious of problems as the OP.

At least pick the good looking Mesmer face. And that hair? What are you thinking. Geeze, people these days.

Aidan Gawain · Jun 28, 2005, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Following someone around and doing ANY emote on them after they ask you to stop is abuse. It doesn't matter what you were doing - if you're going out of your way to do it to her and she asks you to leave her alone, you have to leave her alone.

Aaaaagh · Jun 28, 2005, 03:17 AM // 03:17

Why...why....why do you even do this? Get a life, if you are not mentally capable of getting a life, then go watch TV or bother your mom for some TATER TOTS!

DrSLUGFly · Jun 28, 2005, 03:33 AM // 03:33

do believe the issue here isn't armpits or leashes... or even lawyer henchies (though that's pretty damn cool

) but just plain harrassing someone. Since, unlike in real life, you don't have the option to slap, knock out teeth or anything other kind of retaliation other than public flaming... which does little since most griefers seem to enjoy it, a possibility to report would be nice. Another need for an ingame police function. This isn't about whining or being too sensitive with the report function (report wars??? wtf dude) it's about not having any other "stfu and leave me alone!" function.

Next come the labels:
"WARNING: This sword may be sharp."
"WARNING: This salvage kit may contain small parts."
"WARNING: This fire wand may cause fire. Keep out of reach of children (especially annoying litte flute-playing girls)."

DrSLUGFly · Jun 28, 2005, 03:56 AM // 03:56

that's part of the lawyer skill set

"Liability"

-Liability
Targetted player's weapons and items are labelled for safety for 10 seconds. Using these weapons or items will result in 5-45 dmg and loss of 10 gold. (att: litigation)

Let's try to add to it.

-Class Action
target ally loses 1-3 gold per second for 10 seconds. At the end of this enchantment, all enemies lose 5-10 gold each (att: solicitation)

-Contempt
target ally gets targetted by all mobs while losing 10% of their current gold. (att: public defense)

hahahaha good post, but seriously, if you can report someone for where they are standing, because it looks like you are sniffing their armpit, thats just stupid, and it will be abused.

Ketendra · Jun 28, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Its not for where they are standing, its for following the person around and continuing to do it - which is considered harrasment.

derrtyboy69 · Jun 28, 2005, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Ok mister mature, your intelligent argument has inspired me to "SHUT UP."

I lied.

Why should HE have to leave a district, HE is the one being abused, and should not have to do anything for it to stop. I really wish there were special districts that were pay to play only, just so I could avoid all you mucktards. Wow, Im gonna go post that idea.
