Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Idea (Discussion)
Usually when I play Guild Wars I get into it a little, though I don't put on my wizard hat as I play, I do like to zone out a little. Since Guild Wars was first released, the maturity level of players has drop significantly, and I find it quite annoying that when I finish an epic quest, like battling some forty foot tall demon, and I arrive in town and all I see is: "I will pwn you so hard" and then another player responding: "you’re such a noob," then they have a furious contest to see who can incorporate the word "noob" into the most barely coherent, unpunctuated sentences as fast as they possibly can, using caps lock like it will actually make their argument more intelligent or convincing. There are also the people who can't stop talking about sex for one minute, and also there are kids who are obviously too young to be playing who can't make a single understandable statement. It’s these kinds of people that make me forget about my recent triumph over said forty foot tall demon and drag me back into reality, reminding me of how immature the people who play this game are now.
Now I am not suggesting that you remove these people from the game, I would like to merely suggest that there be a chat filter option for people like me, in which it would automatically ignore people that begin spamming in chat. Another solution to this problem would be to make some servers or districts in Guild Wars 2 have a much more sensitive spam filter and allow much fewer words per message, which would discourage the immature players from joining and allow players an easier time asking for help without hearing “stfu nub,” and actually getting an intelligent answer.

Why this is a good idea
  • Asking for help would be much easier
  • Would create a friendly environment for new players
  • Can create a better playing environment, though can not b useless if you can report people for abusing the chat with immature messages. (sounds weird, but can work)
Why it may not work out
  • Mature servers might be seldom used
  • Large discrimination
  • Amount of server power needed
