Yes. I was in a match, I killed two people on MY OWN, rezzed the dumb warrior, and was reported for leeching. Apparently playing dervish = leeching.

I switched to Mesmer, and was reported for using Backfire.

Meh.

Was screwing around in AB by spamming Edge of Extinction, Quickening Zephyr, Muddy terrain, and Famine.

Few people start pinging my actions repeatedly and calling me noob, retard, etc. One of them says, "let's report him for leeching!" Soon after I see about six messages saying 'Robin Corax has been reported for leeching' pop up. I took couple of screenies and sent it to NC Support. Apparently, they got temp banned afterwards.

Dunno if I ever GOT reported for it, but was threatened by a player... He was flaming real hard on a guildie of mine, on the verge of horassing him... I told the guildie to take a few screenies and send'em over, I then put them up on our guildpage for the world to see what a useless fool the noob was. I got a PM that if I didn't remove the screens he wouldn't hessitate to report me...

Report me to WHO? It's on an open forum, fool :P
I said sure yeah go ahead, if you can't stand up for the things you just said...

PWNED!

Never heard from him again, didn't even have to put him on ignore, but he sure put me on HIS list

I got allegedly reported for being a healing monk in AB. :S

The guy decided that monks should only smite in AB, so he first kicked me from the group, then PM'd me to say I'd been reported for being a noob. It was odd.

I got reported for using an axe.
As an assassin.
...
Don't look at me like that, out of the four times I played I got up to 10 wins before we lost, twice. Using the axe build XD.

And also for selling minis. Or rather, people not liking my prices or how I was selling them >.>

I got reported just yesterday, for an inappropriate name.. but here's the weird part: The name of my Character is Ghost Tamer Faye...
You might say that there is nothing wrong with the name, so did I..

The person who reported me was spamming me for a while about my name being inappropriate, when I asked him why, he replied with the following: "Your name is inappropriate because Faye Valentine is a porn star, and I find that offensive..."

Naturally I was awestruck by such brilliant logic... Faye as a name is inappropriate because there is a adult movie star with that name? Poor people named Faye, their names forever scarred by a so called pervert..

I kindly replied to this person that I found his logic to be strange and pointless. I told him that anyone who would be offended by me using the name Faye and making the same link to porn as he does is probably using his interwebz connection for porn downloading purposes alone...

To check his theory I did google the name Faye Valentine.. she indeed is a porn star, so at least he got that part right :P

I did not hear anything from Anet yet, but am looking forward to their no doubt humerous response

So then I was said " Sorry, bad lag ". So he responds

"Yeah right, newb. learn to play your profession".

So, then I "/resign"(ed) and quit the match. And he kept whiserping me about how I am going to be banned.
i think we might have had the same guy. except i was a ranger and it was during last weekends event. i had major lag and i didnt move for only a "few" seconds. he got so mad lol. funny thing was in the next round we got ele he was the first to die. i lol's him then he rage quit.

One day in Raisu I was chating with some random dudes and I made a bad joke about the German (<3 them - I don't remember the joke, but that was pretty bad taste but also quite appropriate and funny). Then a kid comes and says "Mad, you're reported!". The other players tell him to piss off, and the kid gets angrier: "xxx, reported!" - of course everybody's laughing at this poor kid, which drives him crazy: he steps in front of absolutely every single player who was laughing at him (everybody in the outpost that is), and says: "you, reported! Reported! REPORTED!!!".

He finally comes back in front of me and starts telling me trash about how a good player he is and how bad I am, and finally flashes his bamby and concludes: "PWNED!!!!".

The whole outpost had a good laugh this day - and got reported :P

And yet me wanting to play with 7 heroes makes peopel think -I'm- ruining guild wars. It's children like this is why I solo most of the game.

I was banned for 72 hrs for having the Name:

Harry Wrecked Em.

After a few correspondances with ANet they said it sounded too much like Rectum. Damn, thats a medical term for a part of your antatomy.

The way it works is if someone complains/reports you, ANet will ban ya, regardless of how marginal the name is.

i made fun of some people who had nothing better to do than post on forums about how some obviously-intellectually-inferior player reported them for something. i got reported. talk about silly!
i was told the real reason for the report was that the name "Ben Dover Anne Takkit" was considered inappropriate, but that's utter bologna.

This one always makes me laugh when I think of it.

Shortly after Tomb of the Primeval Kings was put in the game as a PvE area and before barrage pet teams were ever used there, I used to go in there a lot in balanced groups. Well we were at one point on the second level I believe where there is always a wurm that pops up. It’s a good strategy to pull the wurm up to a certain ramp to kill it, it’s just easier. One member of our group just freaked out. He claimed that by pulling the wurm it was an exploit and was against the rules. He said he was going to report us all for breaking the EULA and felt so strongly about it he rage quit the group.

We all had a real chuckle over that and went on the finish the maps. If he ever reported us I never heard a thing about it.

It was hilarious when those golems started running after and standing on the people who were cussing them, which made them even angrier.

They are not standing in front of Mad King Thorn, they are covering up Mad King Thorn causing the rest of the players unable to see the Mad King.

Note not all golem wannabe are pricks just a few rotten apples.

Yeah, I've seen that a lot Arching.

People keep saying to report people who use golems and stand in front of the king.

While it is kinda silly
1) why does it matter if you see the king or not... it doesn't
2) all those people are often using violent, threatening language to tell the golems to move

I've actually started reporting the people who are threatening the guys in Golems, just because half the time they are being far more offensive and inappropriate then the Golemites.

I have had to change over a dozen names over the past year.

I have been banned twice for inappropriate names

My Derv was Jizon Diface then The Grimm Reapist and now i cant play on him until i change him again(i refuse to change his name again so i havent been able to play on him)

My female ele was I Peace Fire then Burns Wen I Pee and now its Kersplat U R Snuked

My rit used to be Kok Tease then Eta Cameltoe and now she is Whipsn Chains

My warrior was God Donkeypunches then Don Key Punch now he is also between names

My monk was Douche Baggins then Master Itchy Palm now i refuse to change it again so he is unplayable in pre searing

my Necro used to be Bloody Beav then Menstra Flow now she is Ivonna Bleedonu

I had a pvp warrior named Sheet Bawls then Harry Balzach then i just deleted him out of disappointment

But there are 2 names that i refuse to change because i dont think they are inappropriate at all The Grimm Reapist and Master Itchy Palm
I just need to find out who i can complain to to lift the change from them

There was an Argument, wether or not you should be aloud to Slap/Hit a woman back if she hits you...well i clearly AGREE with SELF DEFENSE, so i said "yes you should be allowed" <<exactly like that and was banned for 73hours, when the person who reported me(openly admitted it) was calling me very nasty and derogative names my guildies seen him in the same town the next day, wich leads me to think A-Net doest read reports they roll a Yes/No(Ban/dont ban) dice..

oh and a guildie of mine who is Muslim, had a name, "I Am Allah" got his account permanantly banned, when his real name is allah....A-Net should dtop cattering to the 12yr olds who can type /report <your name>

Back when they told everyone to use trade chat instead of all chat for trading and when saying things like "WTS" in all would auto change it to trade chat.
Anywho, I told my buddy that saying "WTS" in all chat changes it to trade chat. We were in the deserted Ember Light Camp, and we said WTB twice or so and the one other person in the district decided that it was some great crime.

Still a jerk thing to do because it interferes with the "gaming experience" of others. These definitely bothered me, because I only see The Mad King twice a year and he is pleasing to the eyes. :P

Usually when someone reports you for something retarded they say "I'm reporting you!" as if reporting you would do anything.

I followed someone around ascalon using the /highfive emote. Apparently that caused great distress to them a few others and the told me they reported me lawl.

Oh, and the whole swearing thing. Dunno why I should be getting banned just because other people chose to turn off their filter.

Also one time I got banned as I was typing my way through the Iliad in LA. Apparently Homer and I conspired to create melodious spam!

And best of all: Phallic Reference - that one still makes me laugh to this day.

Oddly enough guild names involving "Pen Island" are fine (see Guild of the week articles).
