As an assassin main, I could care less about the essence nerf.
As somebody who doesn't bother with HA, couldn't really care about the blood magic nerf.
Having a ranger and not being able to try out the overpowered experts dexterity makes me sad face a little bit, but meh.

The /scamming report option makes me sadface as well because they seem to have not been able to make it so it'll effect the person reported no matter where they are. Though I am not sure that it is possible for that since I am not a programmer.

But I sadface and happy face for alliance battles. Sadface because, although they never said anything, I was hoping that they would eventually add new maps to the rotation, but happy faced because of the double points weekend.
Because teleporting around with maintainable shadow steps are fun.

My teammate? No I mean the person on the other side, that our whole team reported enmasse. It is a bit curious when that person leaves before the match is over, before the outcome of the match has even been decided, and in an organized guild team no less. Furthermore when they get added to the flist and just never show back up online for the rest of the night, its kind of curious.

This isn't an isolated incident. This has happened about a dozen times over the past year or so.

I don't have screenshots of that. How do you make screenshots of that? get 8 shots from different people reporting, get the "has left the game," then post a time-laspe series of screenshots of the f-list later? And those could easily be faked, infact it would be easier to fake than legitimately create.

What I am saying is that an easy 'report' system makes for tons of reports. I don't know how many people Anet has sitting around filtering through those reports, but I cannot see how they could have time to do anything more than just skim over and barely give any of them a passing though.

I am saying that GM's are indeed not reviewing all of them. This wouldn't be the first time Anet has done something like this. A good while back there was a filter that parsed through chat logs and issued bans. We know this because multiple people spoke up about being banned from chat that could have only come from whispers to people that didn't report, from multiple bans from guild chat in guilds that do not care about language, and personally I went to a polish district of shiverpeaks arena and started swearing up a storm, then got a ban despite every line of text saying "no one hears you."

Anet got called out about this on one of the forums and Gaile admitted to something to that effect, but insisted it was to save on manpower. They quickly and quietly removed that chat search.

Lol, well blood was kinda useful when they changed vampiric spirit, but without that and 90% of the other blood skills being useless... blood magic sucks again.
