This is the type of thing that makes cussing in town a bannable offense. It's these kind of children.
I was sitting in RA waiting for timer to start (Anti griefing=hordes of crappy teams, more glad points for me ^^) and I saw a heated discussion going on.
This was undoubtedly going on for some time, but this is what I found.
Also.. a lot of these words bleeped don't start with f, they were calling each other horrible names that start with a n.
I like the /report feature, makes banning these guys easier.
Children.....

Why do people always bash children for this. You guys do know that the majority of immature people like in the 18-25 range don't you? Now if you're in your 50s you could consider them children but, no. Children 12-15. Those guys are probably older than that. With age comes confidence to break the rules not intelligence to not break them. I would know!

i never say things like that .. not even when im high o.O ..

"Someone calls you a noob, do you :
A: call them a noob.
B: ignore them.
C: get all your alliance, guild, local chat and friends list to call them a noob as well.
D: all of the above, apart from B. "
Yeah I think they would know what to answer. (Its D if some of you arent old enough to work it out).

Golden Rule of Guild Wars: Always keep the All chat channel turned off.
You can avoid 98% of the immaturity and idiocy if you do.

What do you expect when you don't pay a monthly fee?
In most cases, the monthly fee weens off the kids who don't have parents who are willing to pay.
If you compare WoW's Barrens Chat to GW's Temple/RA, it's quite obvious which one is the lesser of two evils.

It is true. Although I enjoy playing the game, GW has, by far, the worst community I have ever seen for this sort of game.
This is because there is no accountability for being an asshole; there are so many people (since there is no concept of a home server, and people play more alts than a typical mmorpg), you will rarely run into the same person twice, or recognize a guild tag. Personal reputation seems to mean almost nothing in GW, and it's really not possible in this game for a person to actually get a "well known" bad reputation for harassing other players.

Heh you get immature people in all games...pay ones especially WOW and such can get them big time.
But you also get high class imature people. Level 60 tanks walking around in starter gear. Heh I remember in FFXI watching another party *I usually play a paladin* die in seconds because their paladin was a paladin/WHM and had starter gear.

Otherwise, half the players on these forums would be considered "immature."
wolfwing
Heh by level 60...they are quiet intentional.
That be like someone doing Hall of hero's in starter armour, or such. The ones I'm talking too, are the ones the defined the word newb. The ones that not only play the game 100% the wrong way *not playing their own style* but also refuse to listen or try to tell others how to play the game. It's not that someone is that high and using that armour, but even when told they should upgrade to something better they get defensive or offensive about it.

Immature people exist everywhere.
Yes, even in p2p MMOs like FFXI.
Yes I've seen them.
All you can do is send a report or whatever to anet and the time and area where it happened, and the name of the person. They'll most likely get banned.
I however keep all chat off and avoid all of these issues altogether. It's a convenient fix really.

Yes, /report. That's better than doing nothing. Ignoring them is a waste of time, getting them to ignore you (without profanity of course) is better, and more fun.

I wish everyone who ever misspelled anything was banned from GW and the internet. It would make the place a hell of a lot better if the rest of you just had to sit on the sidelines until you learned the difference between there, their and they're.
And as to flaming in local, I've got a simple metric: racism/sexism/gayism = bad, anything else = fun. Flame wars are an entertaining method of dealing with frustration, and I've always loved them.
Besides, I'm sure that you lot are the h/h only peeps who contribute nothing to the community and may as well not be there. So, thanks for existing by default, glad to hear from you, good to know you keep local off, bubye.

i see the deff. of "noob" as someone i played fow with today, an ele that kept running ahead and aggroing everything. we constantly asked them to stop, and they said, hey, im not hurting anything.
then we died. noobs ftl.
moriz
you know, sometimes i purposely act like a jerk just to see the reaction from these uptight types. it's always very entertaining to see them sputter.
cruel and malicious? perhaps. driven by hormones with poor grasp of consequences? no. i know very well what the consequences are, and i also know the humor the situation is worth far more what possible consequences for me may result (which btw, there are very little if none at all).

Why are people obsessed with hormones? What leads them to think that at a certain age they disappear? When a person reaches the age of 25 do they suddenly lose their hormones?
There are numerous hormones throughout the body and most of them would result in death without them. Rational thought would certainly be impossible without them.
The simple answer to anyone utilising abusive language, or actions, is that they are unsociable, ignoramuses, incapable of normal interactions with others.
While reporting them is necessary its unlikely to solve their behaviour, but may make those suffereing from it slightly happier

But on the other hand, I think they should have left things the way they were. I have never had any problems that could not be solved wit the chat filter or the ignore lists. If someone is swearing at you, block them. If there are a whole lot of people swearing and it annoys you, turn on the filter.
I personally don't mind someone saying "Oh ^%$# I forgot to bring my cap sig!", but what annoys me is when they say "OMG you &$#@ nub learn to play &^%#er!"
Even still, I would not bother to report them. I say, keep things as they were.
EDIT: I just read another post I will hold my tongue until I see PvP Dishonor used or abused. Aparently, people are reporting players for stupid reasons and giving them dishonor points.

If people want to clean up the offensive, disgusting, and down-right hateful junk that a few losers unleash in towns, report them! You may think that A-Net won't punish offenders, but you won't know for sure it they suspend someone or not, but it better than knowing for a fact that they won't punish anyone unless it's brought to their attention.
Now, I've recieved the auto-response "please use chat filter, blah, blah, blah" when I report this kind of crap, but that's not gonna deter me from doing it. If A-Net discovers that the community is sick and tired (only way to do that is to overload them with reporting offenders) of the crap these pathetic losers spew, then maybe, just maybe they'll crack down on it - sorta like they did with trade chat.
(I'm not talking about the one bad word kind of thing, here.)

Kook, I think you should listen to that auto-response - it's good advice.

Don't worry A-net thought of this from the begging "Prohibited to children under 13" To bad they can't inforce it. And I agree send chats to parents!

Really this thread is just as bad as a so called child saying poop in local.
And don't trust the /report feature its not gonna be around for this kinda stuff. And Anet don't care they suppl a filter its your own fault if your exposed.
Currently its being used to report monks in RA that heal better then the other team deals damage.
Ripskin, if you were mature, even at the rip old age of 15. You would laugh and let it slide. There only words.
But yeah ranting and attempting to create a moral panic on a web forum is so much easier then forgettting about it.

Although I agree, the local chat is sometimes filled with immaturity. I admit I sometimes get trapped in flames, or online slang. Does that make me a bad person?
I usually leave local chat off, and only chat to guild/allience friends. But when i'm trying to sell wares, i'll turn it back on. I also turn it back on when i'm looking for a PUG. But then again, I usually don't take offense to most things. Working customer service for a number of years, plus a lot of R rated films, anime, television, high school (
), etc etc etc... have really desensitized me to excessive language. I have friends who really take offense to it, and I ask them "why?? They're only words!" They usually have no response to this at all, or it's something like "but it's immature!" I don't disagree with them; it IS immature. When used childlessly, and excessively. There are times when excessive language can add to the atmosphere of a situation though. It can add to the charactor in a story, ot otherwise paint a picture of who that person is at the core.
o m g pizowned
most of the immaturity i know is 20+ year olds to be honest. the younger kids (12-15) only get real immature if you provoke them
Gattocheese
The is a reason for a text filter. Also people are way to sensitve to terms these days. I can understand that curse words can be rather offensive to some people, but its a part of every day life and every day people. Alot of people cant say a sentence these days without some sort of profanity in it. People who get called a noob or a curse word need to suck it up a lil.
I think reportable offenses are Racial/Religion/Sexual, everything else is a part of every day life, so why would it not be a part of a popular video game? And as far as kids playing these games, ratings change when your online, if your gonna let your kid play this game, it should require supervision.
