GMs you have a HUGE problem

Plz take this seriously, as this is not me posting a rant, but a very real and big problem.

The issue starts with 2 things combined:
1. the Tideborn expansion.
2. the Raging Tide server.


The Tideborn expansion brought a dark and overpowered race into the game. This doesn't change players personality, but brings forward rude and careless behaviour we have not seen on other servers. I don't believe the problem is alot of new players, but the new players here are plying a totally different game, than what we started out with in closed/open beta.

The scale of the problem: just at the spot i am fighting at any time, more than 50% of the ppl coming by, is Kill Stealing (KS) me. Kill Stealing is when you atatck a mob another player have aggro on, and that can be several mobs. Some say they just wanted to help out, but ask a player before you start to help, ty. If I should report according to TOS (like I should do), I must submit screens and tickets on more than 100 players daily (no joke). In addition about 50% of the mentioned players that I tell how to play according to the rules of the game, they swear and laugh at me.

People that know me, know that i play fair and take this seriously as a game, not making more fuzz than is needed. I spend a big part of the game teaching players the rules instead of them doing so before starting to play.

I refuse to do 2 things:
1. change server.
2. leave the rule violations unattended.

I believe strongly that this problem is created by PWE and not the new gamers joining (those are most welcome here).
So the question has to be:

What will the GMs and PWE do to adress and fix the issue at hand?

b:thanks b:heart

PS: I have also submitted a ticket on this, this thread is to educate especially Raging Tide players, and all other new players.

EDIT:
Some forum members call this whining, and tries to picture me as unexperienced.
Therefor I will let you in on a few facts about myself:

I have been guild leader for a successful guild for 3 years now.
I have played most of the mainstream MMOs on the market, plus a few lesser known.
I have finished one of the 3 biggest MMOs in the world (how many here can say they have finished an MMO?)
I also am the author of game guides, so beeing correct and not exaggerate is one of my trademarks.

    This isn't really a huge problem. Ksing happens in pretty much all games. Also most of the tideborns are alts, meaning they have a main, so they aren't new gamers. All classes ks, not just tideborn. Venos always send their pet and ks me,but then I ask to party with them and they say yes.

    KSing is not just a problem, its illegal behaviour players get banned for. Don't delude players to think this is ok to do. (and i never squad with anyone ksing, but love to help players that play fair)

    Kill stealing happens all the time, not just with Tideborns. I can't keep count of the amount of times I've had a Veno' walk in and start kill stealing me. All classes do it.

    You're also blaming the wrong people, Game Moderators aren't Game Producers/Creators/CEO's..whoever decides what happens in game. - so QQing people who merely Moderate the game is unfair.

    Chill out and move away and kill something else and come back later, un-necessary under isn't cool. b:victory

    KSing is not just a problem, its illegal behaviour players get banned for.

    The only way it is illegal/bannable is if someone is following you around for an extended period of time KSing you in order to keep you from completing a quest - that's harassment. Normal KSing is not reportable/ban-able.
    if it can be pegged as harassment it is

    Gee golly thanks for pointing out the obvious. Normal every day KSing (what the OP sounds like he/she is whining about) is just that - normal KSing. Not bannable - any reporting is a waste of the GMs time.

    If the OP is reporting 'more than 100 people a day' she is doing nothing but wasting the GMs time and keeping them from real issues.

    Big deal. If your beings ksed do something about it instead of whining and blaming it on the new expansion. In fact, there's hardly anything in your post stating the problem with the new classes and expansion. You put maybe a total of two lines in there. The same thing could happen with any other class and any other server.

    If you're not playing recently on Raging Tide server, you can't see how BIG difference there is on this and other servers. I play all 6 servers, so I can tell.

    It is interesting to see players from other servers stating this aint a problem. I dodnt either when i played the other servers. However on Raging Tide the problem is so big normal KSing has become harrasment. Therefore it is bannable indeed. I do completely agree that onother severs it's not woth mentioning, so stop ridicule e real issue, and this is definitly a real issue for the GMs. The company has been informed but its the GMs that see this everyday on the server.

    So what have they fixed of the real issues, still have the rubber band glitch, I still see other glitches bugs that have NOT been fixed, so what are the real issues? They patch is sent to them fully made, all the do is convert it which isn't that long of a process.

    LOL at the QQ. You picked a PvE server, you have to deal with the problems that it creates for you.
    What will the GMs and PWE do to adress and fix the issue at hand?

    PK enable all the PvE servers. Everyone over lbl 30 becomes white name. Problem solved. It's just that simple.
