GAILE GRAY I HOPE YOU READ THIS CUZ I DONT WANT MY ACCOUNT BANNED
Hey guys something is really screwy with the /report command. OK heres what happened.
Some random guy pms me about buying gold(thinking it was on of the bots) 5 times...so i report this guy, and for some reason after ir eported him for spamming it said You have Reported <A diffrent characters name, cant say who> and im like wtf???, so...i contact this person that it said i reported. They said apparently this same person pmed them about selling gold, and that person was already in kamadan dis 1 where i was. So, i ask him try to report the "Bot" and he/she did and apparently, after he reported, MY name came up instead of the bots. I dont know if somehow this guy hacked or something so if someone reports him, it reports the last person he pmed or something...can someone pls explain this to me
WTF?????? Pls read this

All I can say is: OH SHIT.
We need some more verification on this, this could be pretty nasty business.

If you just type /report then it reports whatever character you have selected or in the whisper box I believe. To be sure always type /report <insert name here> with a space between the name and the /report

As much as I want to say this really sucks for you, I have had this exact same thing happen to me yesterday. I really don't know what to say other than I press /report [insert name] and report for both spamming and botting. That's all I do now regardless of anything.

Pharen thats exactly what i did, i typed the characters name in witht he cammand

i dont bother reporting spam-bots. imo these guys are so easy to catch a-net should do it themselves instead of relying on the community for it.

Well that is definitely a glitch if you're typing the name in and its reporting the wrong guy. Send Anet a support ticket about it, though you may have to try it again and take screenies of each step. A screenie of the /report [name] and then screenie of it saying [Different name] has been reported for xxxx.
But don't worry to much about the guy who got reported, I doubt Anet even checks up on the people who are reported unless they get 10+ reports for the same thing in a given time. And if they do check up on him they'll see in the logs that he wasn't spamming/botting.
Only real sucky thing is that the guy who deserves the report isn't getting it

nope, i have the both on my list, the botter in my ignore, the other guy in my friends
1 up and 2 down
Don't worry, I have done this a few times before and nothing has happened.

These bots are using trial accounts. /report apparently doesn't do a thing to them.
Solution: Anet should nuke trial accounts. Or make them harder to obtain anyway.

happened to me during Wintersday as well
i had a reason to report an annoying fella, and when i entered the command, the ign was different, it was the ign from another guy who was in the district with me... i gave it another try, same ign again, not the one i was willing to report.

So you reported the bot... but you reported another guy. you whispered the other guy and he said he reported the bot... but it said he reported you. so in the end you 2 got reported, but they bot was still on the loose. ok i think i got it...
OP = A
Bot = B
Other Dude = C
A reported B. B didn't get reported. A saw C's name. A whispered C. C was like "OMG NO WAY!" C said he reported B, but A's name came up instead of B. A and C reported each other for B's crime.
FIN.

So this is why people dislike the /report system? 
It clearly needs some work...

This could be a problem. Now I'm afraid to report anyone considering they may be highly intelligent bots.
Also, we can't nuke trial accounts. Why can't we bring them up to work with the report system the way normal accounts do? I always thought trial accounts were the same as normal accounts anyway, except when time runs out the characters/areas are locked. It should not have any affect on the actual type of account or what aspects of the code affect it.

What surprises me is there are none in Lion's Arch.

Did you click on the bot first so you had his name highlighted at the top?

wow.. this sucks. Needs to be in the bugs section so they can see it.

Great Temple of Balthazar International is a hotbed for bot-spammers.
Every single time I've entered that zone this week I've gotten whisper-spammed by gold-sellers, not to mention the usual gold-selling spam in Local. I reported a few spammers in the past, but they just seem to multiply.
In response to the OP's issue, I haven't had that happen to me when I've used the /report feature. The last time I've used it must have been a couple weeks ago, so maybe it's a new problem.

Guys if 1 person reports someone, Anet doesn't go "AMAGAD INSTA-BANZ0r3D!!!111one1!"
If a few people report someone for the same offense..then they will look into it.
Just to clear things up..

The bot probably got your name and zoned. The /report INSERT NAME HERE only works if he's in your zone, so if you type it and he's not it will just report whatever character you had nearest you at the time.

another good reason to never both touching the "/report" =p
well, so far nobody got banned, that's good news

I thought the only way to report is to target them and type /report. I'm not sure there is anything it recognizes after the /report, like a name.

the next evening i tried to log in to find i had been banned for 71 hours for spamming! i email anet and ask whats going on and i get a message back saying something about excessive use of the all chat channel i was gobsmacked
after my 71 hour ban was up i pm the people i was talking to to find they had been banned too
so what lots of people reported us for having a convo in the all chat channel?
