So I am currently happily leeching Competitive Missions since I need the 10k Kurzick faction to advance some of my guys and well ... like I care giving an excuse.
Anyway, as I was happily standing at the respawn point looking all smashing as I noticed an interesting trend.
Nobody gives a shit.
People don't rage, people don't throw hissy fits and people do not report.
When I am playing, my fingers are glued to the /report command and I am VERY trigger happy. You leech - your ass gets reported.
Today - nothing. Maybe a person per game and that's it.
So ... why aren't YOU reporting the leeching bastards?
So ... why don't YOU /report?

Welcome back Upier and wait a sec... did you just inadvertently call yourself... never mind! 
OT, cause I'm afraid it'll backfire on me.

Well. First off. I hate you and your leeching bretheren.
But to answer your question. Yesterday I went on a reporting rampage of all the lame leechers in JQ. Got a bunch of Dishonorable and couldn't play for a while.
This was after asking team mates to also report.
One thing I noticed is that the Hex Discription for Dishonorable is INCORRECT. Nowhere in the discription does it say
"YOU HAVE BEEN GIVIN A TEMPORARY BAN BECAUSE YOUR LAME TEAM MATES COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO REPORT AS YOU DID. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO USE THIS BADLY IMPLEMENTED SYSTEM YOU WILL THINK TWICE BECAUSE THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS GOING TO SUFFER IS YOU."

Eh waste of time lol, but sometimes I get reported if I'm standing still for like 3 seconds.
Painbringer
I try to report on all Guild Wars Welfare (AKA Leechers) most of the time. But I enjoy playing and there are times I don't notice that there are leechers until its too late. Also the time it takes to report multiple people delays me from killing things (example FA when you have 5 leechers and only 3 playing)
Unlucky Slayer
Have to play first to make use of /report.
cebalrai
One reason people don't report is because they don't know how. Even though it tells you at the beginning of every AB/etc match how to report, people don't read it. I say "plz report the leech in base" and get 1-2 people saying how?
Also, in AB format often times players will be miles away from base and not have the leecher in view....

Turns out there's leechers in Random Arenas too.
As to answer your question, I report every leecher I see, and if I get dishonourable I just go grab a snack or read the forums.

i dont /report because i am strong and brave, and can make up for the leechers on our team
Shayne Hawke
I don't report because four times out of five, other people won't do it with me in enough numbers to not get penalized for it.
AsyaMordina
I used to report them until some of them started using Iliililli Illililil for names and there were more bot leachers than humans. Now I just AB with alliance.
DoA, Deep, Urgoz, FA, and now JQ - great parts of the game, now pretty much useless.

I report every leech. It takes only a second to target and type /report and click the button.
Sadly it's a futile gesture.
The best I can do is complain to support and give them any information I can. Then they can give me the canned response they have been using for years about how they know the system is broken and to keep watching for game updates for any changes to the system.

Because I've had the dishonorable hex for reporting too much a few times, while the leechers keep leeching. So in the end I decided it's a system that hurts the real players more than the leechers.
Let's not kid ourselves, the only reason /report exists is so that they can say that they technically have a report system. Not to actually be functional, but simply to exist, that's the reaosn there is a /report. When they give a presentation about features they can add the -report leechers and bots to the list.
Just like the search option is a way for them to say they have technically adressed the lack of an auction house. Although at face value it's not a lie, anyone who plays can immediatly tell it's a shallow or even so disfunctional sollution that it has reverse effects.
I'm willing to bet that because /report is know to be a farce, more people dare to actually leech themselves, so the problem becomes worse.

I do report, but I do see that is rather pointless. Places like FA are constantly full of leeches that never get banned. (Add one to your friends list and watch how they're online every day.) Its been a problem since Factions was released. ArenaNet has made it very clear they don't care about the problem. They've continously told us they're aware of the problem but don't know what to do about it. This has been going on for years and it doesn't look like anything is ever going to get done about it. Players have simply stopped caring. Why bother when ArenaNet isn't going to do anything to these people?
zelgadissan
Getting dishonorable for reporting people pretty much ended my reporting, along with a lot of my FA/JQ play. Nobody else cares, so I just gave up.
One of these days there'll be a 0 on 0 match; I wonder who wins, the gatekeepers or the turtles?

If I /report, I lose my hourly ragequit.
Ragequitting once an hour when there is a leecher in the team does me more good than using /report. The leechers don't get banned, so there is no prospective long term gain for using /report.
Another approach:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action
Basically, the argument boils down to: I can free ride and let everyone else use /report, and it makes no difference as to whether the leechers get banned or not. So everyone free rides, and the leechers don't get banned.
Either argument is sustainable.

i report leechers when i see them, even though its "futile" there is the off-chance that others will do the same and that person actually gets a ban.
Personally when doing JQ, i just do my own thing, and kick the shit out of the Suxons and get my 3-4k kurz. whether or not people are leeching doesnt effect me because with the build i use im just capping constantly anyways.
And im counting on the suxons to have more leachers than me, so in a way it works out to my favor
but yeah f*$k leachers!!!!

What's the use? If I see one other person reporting, I report as well the moment I get a chance. However, there are times where you don't have that opportunity to. If you're fighting/healing, you're not going to report until you're dead.
I've found that it's almost worthless to try. I'm almost 90% sure that A-Net knows who the leechers are. I don't know about anyone else here but I've always noticed that many of the human leechers, not bots, are often from the same guild and often have the same profession, not going to mention any names. However, if I can notice something like that, I'm sure A-Net can see it too.

Mostly because I want to keep playing, and getting dishonorable on myself for reporting means I can't do that. So, nobody reports... people do still happily leech all day/everyday for stupid title that doesn't mean anything more than "Brotha too bad to get survivor, yet still wants GWAMM!".

yeah, too many people, like plenty who posted here, just don't care so those people who do report from time to time(like me) just get dishonourable points because the shitters don't give a damn...
so why punish yourself by reporting?

I report when I'm not healing/killing/stalking someone. Otherwise if no one else is reporting, I'm not bothering. 1 or 2 leechers doesn't ruin a whole game for me.
Kumu Honua
I just wish they would hire a temp to play the infested sections of the game. Record any bots and ban those accounts permanently. Then to mark each account with a warning should they leech. 3 warnings=temp ban. 2nd temp ban=permanent ban. Have those warnings have an expiration of a couple weeks and accidental leeching is not going to make a real player lose his account.
This would remove bots and leeches with an added bonus of maybe generating some extra revenue for the company as these people need to buy new accounts to keep getting their Xunlai keys every month at the same ratio.
Yes. I know. Pipe dream. I can dream can't I?

lol, u sit there leeching and report other leechers at the same time? sounds retarded. lmao, w/e floats ur boat. report people if i feel like it. competitive missions are a waste of time unless u plan on going for the records.

Because there was never such a big enough ass for me to even bother reporting.

I always report the bastards even if it means I get dishonor points. It's a matter of principle. That said, sometimes if I ask people very nicely to report and no one does, I will go and stand with the leechers for a few minutes and see if anyone notices. They usually don't.
No they don't. Ban the botters that is. The consistent presence of a certain Mes/Rt bot is testament to that.
They claim that they ban gold farming bots all the time but can't even be bothered to deal with a few well documented leech/botters. Why some bots are immune from the ban stick while others are not is beyond me. (lulz conspiracy theories)

More lols in a permaban, so do it, for the lulz.

Because Arena Net is not doing anything about synchers, leechers, and scammres, so why should we care? like i said, every one should start leeching on everyone else, turn the whole game into Leech, Sync and Scam wars :P see if I care, like i used to.
Theres a limit your players will tolerate. bye bye :P~ even your avid fans will leave if you don't do something about those irritating factors.
Yeap, yours not the only one that's beautiful and fun to play anymore, beside this other game has no scammer, no spammers no leechers and no synchers.
Arena Net should really be worry right about now. as someone who has blind faith in many things(games) has lost faith in a game they really love.
BTW its freeeeeee FREE! i don't even have to purchase the game
