Suspended for 167 hours

Alright, today, while fighting Tequatl, I said, quite a few times when I died, things like “kittening hell” and “This is bullkitten” in rage at my constant deaths. Several hours later (btw I was still logged in on the game for the duration of that time) without any warning whatsoever I was immediately disconnected and when I tried to log back in it gave me the error message “Your Guild Wars 2 account has been suspended for inappropriate language. Access will be restored in approximately 167 hour(s).” I don’t see how a small amount of swearing is enough to merit a ban for an entire week, especially considering that this is my first ever ban and it’s an immediate 7 days. A ban from public chat makes sense but a ban from playing the entire game for 7 days without any warning is completely ridiculous.

As explained in the Conduct Breaches and Outcomes document, there is an escalating suspension system. You had incidents of foul language twice in 5 days. That is why your suspension is longer with the second infraction.

Some of your cursing was directed at others; some was general cursing. But in either case, dropping the F-bomb (not to mention several other “choice words”) in All Chat is not acceptable.

Incidentally, this is not a discussion or general chat forum. This forum is designed very expressly for account issues, not off topic commentary about which nations host the biggest users of foul language. If you intend to help someone, keep your comments directed and topical, please, and include links to referenced official posts, whenever possible.

Thank you.
