We realize PVP is a contentious topic, so debates and disagreements will inevitably surface. It's important that everyone realizes this potential and checks their responses before jumping in and responding to someone's opinions or ideas.
We've been receiving messages in our moderation queue that have phrases like the following:
- "Apparently you don't understand, let me correct you..."
- "...are you dense?"
- "That's just retarded."
- "Why should I care?"
- "You're just a child, let the big boys fight it out and just keep out of the way of our battles."
- "That's a stupid idea, who would do that? Let me teach you how to do it right..."
etc.

Are you saying Mr spark that correcting someone who is intentionally providing false information on baseless facts, will also be giving the moderators block?

Correcting someone is of course fine, but if it's rude and includes anything that goes against our community guidelines, then unfortunately your post can't be approved.
So if you want to correct someone and ensure they understand something, be nice about it and more than likely it'll pass the filter.
Saddly, Spark, the conduct you discussed concerning forum posts is rife in the game. PVP could be fun, but way too many players are extremely toxic.
Most experienced PVP players don't say much during combat as they don't want someone to look at their stats, but they will outside combat.
And they definately do during the beastmoon events.
In some cases, it might be a strategy to discourage opponents from playing in the PVP part of the game - but in most cases it's just someone attacking someone else. I mean, PVP is exactly that - encouraging people to attack other people in deadly combat (yeah, it's a card game, but people 'die' and too many people get their kicks off of hurting others)
It's unfortunate, but the very act of pitting players against players in an arena setting where death is the outcome for one side over the other encourags the toxic, antagonistic behaviour - especially in immature people.
Telling us to report them is fine, but could you also tell us what to say in that report? There's very little space to type and there's no suggested topics to choose from.

Hello, if you report someone it will send a chat log of what was said before and after the report to Customer Support.
it would still be nice to know what keywords to use in the report - we're only allowed enough space to type out a word or two.
If it's bad language, then just say "bad language" or "harassment" or something along those lines. The chat logs that are sent with the report can usually identify the specifics of problem.

Thanks
"Apparently you don't understand, let me correct you..." I feel like this phrase is 'okay'. Just take out the "apparently" and replace it with "I believe" and add a "me" after "understand" and you should be good (of course content is also a factor) but if you want to be extra cautious then replace the end with "Let me clarify for you" and that should be good?
