Report

Reporting involves informing ArenaNet or NCSoft about players that are behaving unfairly or against the EULA.

There are two methods of reporting: the /report command, and sending an e-mail to NCSoft Support.

[edit] The Reporting Interface

The in-game reporting interface
The in-game reporting interface

To bring up the reporting interface, either:

  • select the player you want to report, and type /report.
  • type /report [Character Name], replacing [Character Name] with the character's name (make sure you don't have anyone selected). The character must be in the same outpost and district as you.

There are currently five options available. Here they are, along with their in-game descriptions:

  1. Botting
    Reporting a player for botting sends a notification to the GM team. GMs may conduct a careful review of that player's behavior. If it is confirmed that the player has been running a bot, that player's account will be banned.
  2. Inappropriate Character Name
    Reporting a player for having an inappropriate character name sends a notification to the GM team. GMs may review the name. If a player is found to have a name that violates the User Agreement, that player may be required to rename the character.
  3. Verbal Abuse
    Reporting a player for verbal abuse sends a notification to the GM team. GMs may conduct a careful review of that player's behavior. If a player is found to have engaged in verbal abuse in violation of the Rules of Conduct, that player's account may be banned.
  4. Spamming
    Reporting a player for spamming sends a notification to the GM team. GMs may conduct a careful review of that player's behavior. If a player is found to have been spamming excessively, that player's account may be banned.
  5. Leeching
    Reporting a teammate for leeching gives that player 2 dishonor points. If at least half of your team reports this player, a further penalty will be applied preventing any faction or XP gain in that match. If, however, a third or less of your team reports that player, you will also be given 2 dishonor points for issuing an unsupported report. Players with 10 or more disonor points are temporarily prohibited from participating in PvP.

All options bear the warning: WARNING: Abuse of the report feature may lead to your account being banned.

[edit] Notes

  • The Leeching option is greyed out and unselectable if you are not in an active PvP match. Rolling over the box displays the message:
"You may only report a player for leeching while participating in a Random Arena match, Alliance Battle, or Competitive Mission. You cannot report opposing players for leeching."
  • You cannot use the /report command more than 50 times from the same account within a 24 hour period.
