I do think that will be a big problem, hopefully they will not ban anyone and will instead scold people who report others as bots based on something trivial like not having a guild. Or better yet, don't let people use /report at all for botting, botting accusations can easily be a vendetta report done by a few people and will waste the most support staff time investigating the reports.

While not talking to people who pester you could be considered anti-social in some cases (I agree though, why waste your time talking to random strangers) that's not what they mean by reporting people for anti-social behavior. They mean reporting people who are badly spamming, advertising gold selling, harassing other players, scamming, and so on as far as anti-social behaviors that deserve being reported.

Well the PVP reporting thing will get abused that is a virtual given, and when it comes down to it, it will be a he said she said problem so there will be no legitimate reason for Anet banning players who report no matter how many times they do it. People will be getting bans for doing nothing wrong, people will be reporting out of revenge etc.. it will be a joke.

Having players police players is a bad idea and really not the players responsibility either.

The other thing is people leaving was not the major issue and I don't think people resigning a drawn out lopsided battle should get punished. I mean I can't blame anyone who does not want to get their butts handed to them over and over for leaving, the game is about fun and that is not fun. I don't leave myself but have no problems for those who do especially under those circumstances.

It would much simpler to just put a faction degen for those who do not leave the starting area or do not move after 180 seconds. If you have not moved in three minutes your not participating.

I have only ever done one HoS chest run just to see what all the fuss was about but I can tell you HoS runs were NOT exploits it was just the easiest dungeon chest to get at.

Anet puts out the free candy then when you go after the easiest piece to get they slap your face. There is absolutely no excuse for this nerft it is a typical Anet just wants to be aholes to everybody because they can BS nerf.

how many times have u been able to get ur entire team to resign in ra. please tell me.

without getting into to much politics... i hate socialism

they complain and complain until they get their way, which they believe in the bottom of their heart is the dream, but when it comes their way, it becomes the opposite. Some of these ppl are the ones that arnt affected so keep on saying its nice, nice. some others will try to make believe it works, and will force themself to make it sound perfect. Others will figure out what just happened and turn, but then will be drowned out by the rest of their ex-side'ees. Leavers dont always = grinding gladiator pt... ppl who think every leaver like that are morons. You want to waste time, go ahead and stay if u want, I don't care if YOU want to waste your time, its not ok if I DONT***.

Anyways, its kind of funny how ppl used to complain about leavers, leaving their team, but then leave right after. Why was that? please tell me why u just left ur team? Please tell me. So now... that somone just left ur team right now... you want to leave your team too? I believe the time saved is alittle bit more than 10 seconds... O wait, do it more and you get some pvp ban'age.

don't u love to waste ur time? duncha wanna? duncha?

I have been playing Aspenwood, and at first there were the usual lots of leechers and leavers. Once the reporting began, we got full teams that stay for the whole match win or lose.

Sure, matches take longer, but they are now fun since you don't know who will win. Still the occasional leaver, but they get DH and can't enter for a while.

@ Cobalt - this is not a ban as in "you are kicked out of GW", it is a spank on the hand and several minutes in the time-out chair. If you go 60 minutes without doing it again, the points/minutes reset. If you do it again and again, you will sit longer and longer. It seems fair to me -- maybe I will actually try RA now.

People, I asked something in OP... >.<
Will this save PvP? Or at least lower it's death penalty? ^^
I saw more people playing RA, more people in TA too...didn't checked AB or Aspenwood but I supose situation is better in those places also...With more activity and new people in RA/TA/AB maybe more people will get to intrest in HA too?

The last two (by the time i'm typing this) comments amuse me because they are the first positive comment i see here...

So what will everyone say once this system has proved it was useful, when we wont get a leecher more than once every week? "God! It's about time ANet implemented a /report system!" will probably be the most popular quote.

EDIT : Ok ok i'm a bright-eyed fool! No need to say it again. I'm still sure it will help in some way.

The lazy people will be saying that since the never could use the existing system that was already in place.

while wrongful bans will increase, scare scams to get money from people will be on the rise. And I am sure there will be a few groups that will announce that they are Anets secert police as they go from town to town threating people better not be botting, and to behave or they will get reported.

what happens when it doesnt?

so...
the leeching yes, that may be useful
report- feels like a big tattle for 12 year olds, and although i will probably be banned for raging at ppl, it doesnt hurt me to bad now
dishonor system... thats where it hurts..

dont punish ppl when ur game tells ppl that everyhting is "casual" by making it so we cant try to use our time to its better potential.

Bankai · Sep 29, 2007, 06:29 AM // 06:29

Whoops, forgot to put in my 2 cents.

I guess this will be the 3rd positive comment?

I like the new RA. No leavers.

MoldyRiceFrenzy · Sep 29, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

i wish i could go 55 on ur team and then maybe u could take that back?

BlackSephir · Sep 29, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

I like new RA. Tried few matches today. No leavers.
Awesome.

i think the amt of time wasted when ur team leaves still doesnt compare in my opinion to those matches that go on forever because ppl CANT leave.

Yes, but everyone hated leavers. Even leavers hated leavers.

And there's a time limit even. So they don't go on forever.

MoldyRiceFrenzy · Sep 30, 2007, 03:24 AM // 03:24

well, if u think 30 seconds to rejoin to 8-12 minutes saves time then, well...

EVERYONE is a leaver. when you make a change that punishes leavers, ur just punishing everyone, just some ppl dont figure it out.
