Cops and Robbers

My online experiences so far have convinced me that without a constant, strong gamemaster presence, all games of this type very quickly become overrun with wannabe thieves, muggers, rapists, and OOC griefers of every possible variety. All games have rules against them. Those rules are never enforced. How does Guld Wars intend to handle that problem? Do you have any plans for finding, hiring and training gamemasters and customer service reps? How many will there be? Will they have the power to permanently ban obnoxious players? Will there be an effective method to appeal their decisions?

A lot of what you said can be avioded because when you go on a quest/mission Only your party goes with you . You are in your Own world NOBODY Else so there will be No pking, No kill stealing, and the other things that make other online games cough WOW, EQII,cough such a pain

like ren said. you cant be looted robed killed raped or anything while playing.
if you want to fight other people you must go to a PvP arena where there are organized matches.

Muggers?.... Rapists? .... where?

you dont loose your gear when you die so that isnt a problem

the ignore list is a usefull tool as well

im pretty sure arenanet team will play amongst us time to time(but with secret identity lol...to catch bad people )...after all, they need coffee breaks too right?
hmm...i have this feeling they will form:
GIA = Guildwars Intelligence Agency or
GBI = Guildwars Bureau of Investigation. lol

gaile logs into the game time to time. she is very friendly, and has been great help with many questions.
im pretty sure she will be able to help you when she is not busy.
