Avengingmydeath.7156 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I have sent pictures to anet about this one player who is using a teleporting hack. Reported him many times. How many times can I report this in-game without repercussions? so frustrating to have him get away with this for so long. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bq pd.2148 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 i don't think it is advisable to spamm the support. at least make sure its different instances/videos and optimally update an existing ticket if it is the same person. yes it is frustrating, but no need to make supports job harder or risk your own account over it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I rarely report over fearing the exact same thing, I also always have in game chat off and never use it to talk to anyone ever, never know when someone might be too brittle. But then you just see someone multi boxing with a dozen of so characters all with roughly the same name, same class, same skins, same guild tag moving in unison and you just can't help yourself... but then do you report all of them, or just one or two... ? It's a sad state of affairs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are sending videos like instant replay or something and not pictures as in screenshot images, because sending still pictures of someone you claim is teleport hacking doesn't prove a thing. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riba.3271 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) Just give up, asking them to ban someone is same as asking for dog to open a can. It isn't happening. Edited August 31 by Riba.3271 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you report someone for doing something out of spite, you should get repercussions (IDEALLY, AHEM OFF COURSE THEY DIDN'T). like when a commander in wvw call out in team chat for everyone to report me for placing a trebuchet in a location where someone else told them that I was trolling, when it is the best place to put a treb for the outer front gate of blue keep , now lots of players also build treb at that location ,cos its one of the best place to have a treb for defence. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU TROLL BULLIES. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengingmydeath.7156 Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 yeah i wish i knew how to video the teleporter. I did the best I could. I took a screenshot of him appearing in the tower that had watchtower, so we owned it for over an hour. No way he hid in there for an hour and he would have been marked with watchtower anyway. I took another screen shot of him on lords causing swords to pop for the first time. so no walls or gate had been damaged. then another screen shot 10 seconds later of him teleporting out again. I was hoping anet had the technology to go back and look at the game play for those 2 minutes or so. maybe they are not able/willing to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROMIT.7829 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I knew a guy that worked for Anet (Sort of), his advice at the time (about 7 years ago) was to report them once, provide a screen shot/video and if they did it again but a separate incident like another tower for example, he advised our server to NEVER report them multiple times for the exact same incident, wait for him to move onto another objective so it can be treated as another incident.

SerialExperiments.8075 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I'd wager a bet that I could stream exclusively exploiting into towers with a thief and still not get banned. Highly doubt you'll get banned for merely reporting people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triptaminas.4789 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) They faster ban u than exploiters. Not a single person I know that's been reported got banned. No matter if they using trainers or just gw2cc tier stuff. Not a single one got banned for what I know But people that posted videos in forums or wrote to support excessively got banned.

ArchonWing.9480 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) In order to ban you, there would have to be proof that you were maliciously abusing the report system. This is not in. If you were targeting specific individuals with dubious reports in bad faith, then maybe, but even that is hard to prove. Of course, if you were like "everyone report this person!" publicly on questionable evidence, then that would be grounds for a ban. Naming and shaming on the forums will result in you getting actioned for sure. Sometimes posters accidentally do this. Just don't. Action seems to be a matter of volume of reports,. I suppose that's natural but it leads to odd situations where if people don't like you, they can just get a bunch of people to mass report you. A lot of hackers/expoiters naturally game the system and if they are in league with some organized groups can target people with this. Like I have some friends where they have quite a few stalkers and they always get hit by name changes even for not really offensive names, while other people seem to walk around for ages without getting punished. I do think there is some shady kitten going on though; the "higher end" of the "competitive" modes in this game seem to be prone to this kind of degeneracy or at the least, have a high proportion of very shady individuals. Whether it's high end pvp, wvw, or even market traders, it seems like you couldn't trust them further than you can throw them, and they aren't alone. Also in general the game is slowly becoming the realm of the lawless, as even in pve, bots seem to be a growing epidemic and the rules just don't seem to be getting enforced. To the game's credit, I don't see very many hackers and it could be far worse, but I don't see this getting better. On a more light hearted note, someone once salt whispered a guildie for killing them that they were going to get their guild to mass report my guildie for... not letting them take a camp. Nothing happened though, and yes, that would be considered an abuse of the report system. Edited September 1 by ArchonWing.9480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One more for the road.8950 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Oh there's an infraction system in game for sure. We have seen people saying the same words with nothing happening to most ppl and then some gets an automatic ban for a short while or not long thereafter. Some people automatically get "funny names" moderated while other flies under the radar for ages even if they are somewhat the same. And reporting does help, I know for sure people have been banned after reports, both for verbal abuse/chat both public and pm, and for other things. And, telling other people to mass report someone can end in the one calling for it to get in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus.9680 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Just a guess but I don't think support will do anything without an account or character name because there is no simple system to figure that out from a screenshot. But seems unlikely you would be banned for that. If you can get video + account name (block their account, in the video) that can actually accomplish something. Both GPU brands have recording software packaged with the drivers if you set it up. Unless your system is like 10+ years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley.5389 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 They don't ban cheaters in WvW there has been a surge in cheaters in WvW lately and known cheaters dont get ban. But you will get banned from the forums and reddit if you show proof of someone cheating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
