can we ban players who are purely griefing

So... is he griefing you or are you and your crew griefing him? Sounds like your crew took him out and he is coming back for revenge, instead of violence maybe try bribing him next time or propose a truce and do the fort together.

nope we were heading to skel island and this (Mod Edited) came there too trying to attack a 3 man crew solo (complete idiot) lost and then sailed back after we sunk his ship and attacked us again... after being this idiot about 20 times and sinking his ship 3 times he still continued to be a complete (Mod Edited) and preventing us from playing the game...

as i said i dont mind him doing this but when you keep doing it over and over after you clearly cant beat us then you are soley doing this just to greif and stop people from playing the game in this case the skel island... he has literally no benefit doing what he is doing... he should be banned... childish (Mod Edited) like this will only ruin the gaming community

Yeah, (Mode edited) is complete trash.. You sink him like 6 times he just comes back parks his boat and comes and boards you and just runs around shooting at you till you kill him again. He's garbage at the game, so he's a salty (Mod edited) about it. This shouldn't be allowed and needs balancing literally 3 mins till you can be back there and you can't progress in the raid at all.

he should just be very harshly warned that if he continues he will be dealt with by the GMs, and if he continues a suspension and then a perm ban... this is the only way to deal with morons like him... otherwise you end up with LoL toxic community and now overwatches toxic community and i really dont want to see this happen... this loser is the first troll i have seen after 3 days of playing with such nice people (including people who have attacked us)

@dhg-ixxrmacxxi I dont think ive seen you deckhands have to work so h*****n a single thread before!

@bmibudster Hello mate I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience, in the future please report any players that are trolling and griefing through the Xbox Reporting system so it can be logged. I also just want to let you know that naming and shaming on the forums is not tolerated so I have adjusted your post as well as to conform it to the Pirate Code and remain respectful towards all community members.

the problem with this is, it allows (Mod Edited) like him to continue doing what he is doing to un suspecting victims... and naming and shaming should be 100% allowed... if you do not allow it on the forums (big mistake right there) i will 100% be posting youtube videos naming and shaming these (Mod Edited)... so that they instantly be kicked from crews and killed on sight in game... we do not need (Mod Edited) like this in the gaming community PERIOD.

@bmibudster NO NO NO! Players should not be banned simply for griefing! I understand that griefing is frustrating and annoying, but they don't deserve to be banned over it. It is unfair to ban these people for playing the game, even though you do not agree with the way that they play. Cheaters/hackers are the only people that deserve to be banned. Cheaters/hackers are the only people gaining an unfair advantage towards you and everyone else. Griefers are simply using cheap tactics against you, and that isn't ban worthy.

As long as people aren't cheating/hacking, you are equal to everyone else. No one has any advantages currently. If you are better at the game than the griefer, then the griefer won't be a problem. Me and my friends constantly sink griefers because we have gotten decently good at the game.

read the first line then stopped reading... if you are doing something with no benefit for the sole purpose to prevent people playing the game or to p**s them off... you 1000% deserve to be banned if you continue to do so after being warned by a GM.... thank you for proving a perfect example of people we dont need in the community, people like you encourage these (Mod Edited) to continue greifing

wait how is someone who keeps respawning in a new solo ship who comes to a ship he loses to and keeps attacking only to make them run out of materials to do what they came to do then eventually beat them coz they cant repair and make them respawn... are you really this demented you dont see the huge flaw in your logic... facepalm

wont let me report the guy via pc... just keeps taking me to report explanation site

@bmibudster not trying to troll anything here, it's not my fault you're (Mod Edited). Maybe learn to cooperate and compromise than.

thank you for making a complete fool of yourself... you clearly didnt read anything that was said and you are a terrible forum troll... please go get a clue....

@hunty-guy said in can we ban players who are purely griefing:

@bmibudster Well I do agree with you that it is highly annoying when people just keep coming back while you are trying to do the skeleton raid. I have dealt with my fair share of these people.

But there are better ways to fix this problem. Banning is not the answer. It is not their fault that the spawns are always next to the raid, so they take advantage. Simple solutions would be to spawn them further away, increase the time it takes for their ship to respawn, spawn them in a new server. Banning is highly extreme. Again, these people are not going out of their way to gain an unfair advantage towards you with cheats/hacks.

you dont get it... if you ban one or two of these trolls after they keep doing it (READ WHAT IS BEING SAID F*S) then a perm ban is 100% the solution it also keeps the other trolls from wanting to do this as they will understand the end result due to proof.... making the spawn further away only encourages them to grief in other ways and wont make them stop... bandaid solutions you think you would have learned by now that is death to a gaming community... proof LoL's community and overwatches community

@bmibudster If you go to xbox.com and search for their profile it will give you a couple options to add a friend and "more", under "more" there should be an option to report.

yes i have done that it tells me to click on more then report and then pick an option to report them... when i do this it takes me to a report explanation page over and over... its clearly not working as intended :S

@kannibalkill420 said in can we ban players who are purely griefing:

@bmibudster I clearly read it, you're (Mod Edited) because people keep respawning with a stocked boat and going back to try and kill you when you have no supplies left. I got it, I'm not illiterate.

im done talking to you forum troll you are clueless and just a thick wall keep making a fool of yourself

@dhg-ixxrmacxxi said in can we ban players who are purely griefing:

@bmibudster And it's not working through the Xbox App either?
