Otherwise, just report them for misbehavior in chat. https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/article/26679/ Edited December 17, 2019 by AbyssAngkor 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that they should mind their own business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CS dept will be working some OT for this debacle... Good for them. If you sail the PR with the current climate of hostilities set on high... You're basically provoking, you're inviting the hostilities. Stop playing the PR until things settle down... IF not, CS dept. workers would like to thank you for helping them pay their "extra" car payment. Edited December 15, 2019 by Navalpride33 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been happening to me for over a year in my CVs. I get berated in chat sometimes just for loading into a game in a CV, that I paid money for. The response from the community in that case, for the same exact thing....is that I deserve it for playing a CV. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
234 Bril01 Beta Testers 1,259 posts 6,287 battles Report post #15 Posted December 15, 2019 I saw it happen over the weekend. In one match about 4 players ganged up upon someone who bought the PR, one of which was on the same team. At one point the BB who was on the same team as the PR actually drove into him, pushing it into the path of a torp strike that would have missed. This didn't go over well with the rest of our team and every said they were going to report the game. Hopefully people who act up like this are given a long holiday vacation to think about their lives. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would tell the OP to play his PR loud and proud! And as I said above, tell the whiners that it's his money to spend as he pleases, and to mind their own business. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The response from the community in that case, for the same exact thing....is that I deserve it for playing a CV. CVs are unethical game mechanics that ruin the game for many of the other players. That is their purpose in the match. Of course people whose playing experience is degraded by CVs are going to complain about it. PR does not. It's a ship like any other non-CV ship. It's a completely different situation. 6 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is what it is Crucis.... Its common knowledge that if you're going to do something that will invite hostilities, knowing full well its causing provocation... That is lack of judgement on the OP's part... I would not be caught dead sailing the PR atm... Not a good idea... but that is my opinion... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9,764 [CMFRT] KilljoyCutter Banned 16,985 posts Report post #24 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Get screenshots, send in tickets, report "misbehavior in chat". That sort of thing is completely unacceptable and counter-productive. The players are not to blame for this mess, whether they bought PR already, or are grinding PR, or are skipping PR. This is 100% entirely Wargaming's fault. It just makes the "demand change" side look petty, and vindictive, and childish, and stupid. We don't need it, it doesn't help.
