I've been warned three time and banned for discussing bots, hackers, exploits in WvW and the culling issues.
They like to play coverup and delete any posts or threads that have negativity under things like "trolling" or "off-topic".
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/IoJ-SBI-JQ-10-19/page/5
209 posts with 13,000 views...if the posts were all left alone would probably be 400, but the Anet forum supervisors delete everything and then ban people, so nobody can post anything but score updates really. |

Yep, I don't go to their forums at all anymore. They say they do it to promote a positive friendly environment, but I dunno, having so many of my posts locked and deleted felt awfully negative and hostile, to me...
Have to say, I don't understand that pic you're posting though. What's with "The Truth" schtick? When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Isn't that kinda Anets style? Make up the rules as things go along? "You shouldn't be doing that in the game, banned" week later "fixed the issue be we felt you exploited the game so the ban was completely justified". |

There is more to this story than meets the eye. Please don't come here and whine about forum where you are not following the rules and then you get a thread closed.

it was the search term, from the search box up on the right, that's the forum auto-formatting highlighting the search term. ... Or ???

Originally posted by Pivotelite So you got warned three times not to repost a specific thread, yet you did it again, and you complain? You can't be serious here. |

Originally posted by The_Korrigan No they were all about different things actually, and upon my forum "ban" I have not even received a PM as to why I was banned.
I used to think this site had strict moderation but then I delved into GW2s site, the best forum still is TERAs, you can call the mods fat stinking hookers and they wouldn't ban you, they do lock threads and edit out excessively insulting things from posts though. But I have yet to get a warning, post deleted or banned on TERAs forums. |

FNR (For No Reason) bans. Some of the most popular emails passed around between CE staff.

Originally posted by TGSOL each instance will be different...with this instance, there are other's in the post stating that they too have issues with it...so you might want to start thinking that ANET isn't always right at that time. |

Ahh... now I realize why this forum is so full of trolls and whiners - ANet has banished them from their own forums!

This is what happens when a B2P game gets released, they no longer "owe you" anything as you do not pay them monthly sub, so make stuff up as they go, how they go. You're no longer entitled to anything beyond the basic game you bought with 60$. They can do just as they please and you have no say in it as they're no longer obligated to deliver you any services (beyond the servers to play the game) That's why i like subscription based games the most, the devs have "obligations" to deliver stuff, if they don't, we the subscribers vote with our money.
This was my first AND last ANET game.
No, im not a hater of the game, it's fine, but the attitude towards the end-customers is below standards i've come accustomed to, so i'll steer clear of their next endeavous. Currently playing: FTB Ultimate Waiting for: Wildstar, ArcheAge, Class4. Dead and Buried: GW2, SWTOR, Darkfall, AO, AC2, Vanguard, CoH/V, EnB, EVE, Neocron, FE, EQ, EQ2, DAoC, FFXI, SWG, WoW, and billions of eastern junks! |

That thread was deleted because there are dozens exactly like it, but their moderation is outsourced, and it's obvious. Just take a look at this mod's amazing English skills: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/Bizarre-Name-Restriction/first#post493033.
The thread was asking (quite clearly) why the name "Frostbite" was blocked. Arbitrary locks and bans (without reasons given) are the result of their staff's inability to comprehend what they're attempting to moderate.
