How likely is this ?
My alliance people (I don't like my alliance) said that some guys were going back and forth on JQ local chat, so they screenshotted it, submitted it to Anet, and one of them got his $50+ account deleted within 6 hours.
That kind of gave me a cold chill since I like to cuss and think that it's just a fun part of pvp... like today I said shut up faggot on local, and once I called a wastrel's collapse sin a bitch on AB. Will I get banned for this kind of thing ?
I thought GW had a chat filter, and you could only get banned for attempting to bypass it... but idiots on my alliance getting some guy banned is really scary.

How do you know the guy got banned and his account got deleted?

Deleted seems highly unlikely. It's probably just a 24 hour ban.
And they've become pretty strict on swearing these days, so I wouldn't cuss *too* much. Especially not stuff like faggot and shit like that.

I'd report you if you told me to 'shut up faggot', and called me 'bitch' (after you've beaten me...)

the report feature has one for verbal abuse...
...sounds like verbal abuse to me.

1. Accounts don't get deleted. ArenaNet just blocks them from use.
2. Reasons for permanent blocks (other than account selling/buying) usually fall under the cheating or attempting to cheat category. This covers exploits such as duping and bots.
3. If you get reported for other infractions of the EULA (have you ever read the legal section of guildwars.com?), and the reports are validated, you get marks on your account record. When you accumulate enough you get temp blocked. Accumulate a lot over a short period of time and you might get a long term block.
4. Don't believe everything other players tell you about account blocks. Most of it is hearsay or outright lies.
5. Incidental swearing in chat is not often reported or punished. What does get reported and acted upon is calling people derogatory names or making personal attacks. That falls under the verbal abuse section of the reporting system.

I'd advice you to stop doing it. It's not "fun", and while I myself don't mind, some people do, and they will report you.
Your account will never get deleted by the way. That's just a myth. You'll most likely get a temporally ban, duration depending on how many times you've been banned before/how bad you behaved.

Don't get pissed at people and start swearing at them. Get pissed at them and start dissing their build. That usually gets players to rage a whole lot more, and it sounds a lot less verbally abusive.
Of course, if their build isn't bad, and you're getting yourself owned by them, don't say anything back, because you'll just make yourself look more stupid.

lmao, u deserve to be banned for such stupidity and ignorance ;-)
Alreko Rin
There's hardly a reason for you to swear in PvP, or anywhere in GWars, it's just stupid.
Also, like everyone else said before me, the user wouldn't have gotten deleted, just temp banned. But, if I were you, I'd watch out for getting reported for swearing or "verbal abuse". I mean, personally I don't care much for swearing but some players do and they will report you. I'd hate for that to happen to me.

Just swear in RL and let the rage out.
No reason to type it out.

Well, I should think that if you just swear - as in, 'damnit, I made a stupid mistake' - the likelihood of some fellow reporting you is pretty low. Just as long as you don't go over the top.
Your calling someone a faggot, however, is definitely bound to piss a few people off. I wouldn't appreciate being called a faggot or a bitch. Would you?

They shouldn't ban them , just shut down their chat privileges for x amount of time. That would be way more effective when they couldn't answer anyone and had to explain out of game why they got a "time out" lol
Or put a dunce cap on them and a title that says "I was bad don't talk to me".

I don't appreciate getting jumped by a wastrel's collapse sin when I'm just trying to avoid a fight and get to my party. Especially when the only reason he won was that I couldn't switch to my hammer. (the THIRD RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING TIME I actually had a weapon out and beat him, note that he wasn't with his party ever what stupid typical sin I don't invite them)
Also the shut up faggot was well deserved.
So basically.... maybe. Not permanently, probably.
Also when I get called a faggot or a bitch, I can give it RIGHT back trust me.
It's just when people chase me down with hexes, snare me by mobs, etcetera, doing stupid mean shit just for a free kill. When I see my teammates chasing single enemies I usually order them to stop.
As far as insulting over builds, yes, some awful monk did bring my sexual orientation into the discussion about builds... also some cripslasher I kicked was all about like I've guested rawr etcetc I've only seen them lose.

But the true worst of it all, is when someone does beat me in 1v1 and i say "GJ, nice build" they start mouthing me off "Stupid Noob" "Get a better Build" When theyre most likely running a pvxwiki build.

I hope you're not justifying you're behaviour by saying that they should just abuse you back. |
The ideal response to being called a pussy would be to say "shut the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO bag" (if someone said that I'd think they were alright and not be mad), not being a bitch and reporting.
Anyway I'm going to try to swear less.
I wish there was some way for user helpfulness to come into play, because like I give away money and spend hours helping newbies but there's a chance I could get banned for telling someone to shut up.

Without adding the 'you deserve to be reported' clause, I'd like to say this: I don't like being called a faggot or a bitch, but were you to do so I'd take it in my stride, shrug, and go "What a rude player." But there are also many, many people who are going to get upset and /report. Or they will abuse you back until someone gets fed up and reports the both of you. Just saying, maybe you should curb yourself a bit.

In real life people cuss and there's nobody to report them to....it's just life and you have to deal with it. Time for people to prepare for the real world

So basically more intelligence less swearing = less chance of a ban.

Courage!
i dont usually report people becuz there just words but if they consistently say it and spam ill just ignore them its easier
Lux Aeterna
I get /ignored a lot but I've learned it's more satisfying to /ignore them first after calling them a noob.
Actually, I did almost report some wammo who said probably the worst thing anyone's said to me online, but then he said it again and someone else told him he was a disgrace to his family ( SIX GENERATIONS ) so eh. Bitches bringing 6 defensive skills, hamstring and sprint then expecting a duel UM NO.

They probably don't mind the swearing but the fact that it's used to insult somebody.
I do hate the people who report for non-insult swearing just because they don't like to hear it... use the chat filter if you're like that!

This thread is not pointless because it involves my having fun vs. maybe getting banned ratio which is highly important. I haven't ever been banned from anything for cussing, once I got banned temporarily for murdering someone over forum issues then dissing the DM (hey it's not my fault it was a DM I didn't respect)... last time I got banned I think it was because I have really really good aim in CSS.

Funniest thing i've seen in a long time but also pretty pathetic.
Also with regards to getting beat by a wastrels collapse sin...that only ever happens if your positioning is horrible, the point is, he shouldn't be able to tele to you in the first place if your positioning/awareness is good, the 2nd thing why were you so far away from your team anyway. The 3rd if you see him coming and new he would catch you (see awareness) then why didn't you call for help before you died. Same thing goes for people running after you and snaring.
As for swearing, needless swearing at people just because they beat you deserves a temp ban. Swearing at people who are actually just stupid and flaming etc etc yeah, go ahead then.

Yes, you can get banned for verbally abusing someone on Guild Wars.
This thread is getting pretty derailed, so I'm going to close it before more people flame. Your question has been answered.
