When to report a player
The best way to handle players that you find irritable or rude is to add them to your Ignore List.
On rare occasions, when a player's behaviour has escalated or persisted beyond simple trolling, you have the reporting tool at your disposal.
Please report the incident as soon as the offence has occurred. Chat reports will only contain the in game chat that took place at the time it is sent.
What reporting does
The reporting tool sends a snapshot of in game chat to us. We will then look over the report and take any necessary action.
Although we do not send out confirmation messages or updates, rest assured that all successfully completed in game reports are processed and reviewed within 24 hours of being submitted.
For any updates or confirmation messages, more information can be found here.
Reporting 'Law-breaking content' allows you to report certain illegal activities via our website (not available via all countries).
