I am not quite certain this is the best place to post this occurrence but I don't see any place better.

Foreword:

This is NOT a rant.
This is NOT a complaint.
This is in NOT any way a slight to support or staff.
I totally AGREE with what happened and to be contacting by a gm.

I am not releasing names because the specific case is not what this is suppose to be about.

Goal: How do you deter unfriendly players?
Can I report mic abuse?
What would you have done?

So...I was in the arcade with a random guy leading a party and we seemed to be having fun. He wasn't the best but neither was I.
We would had some close calls for a two squad wipe on elite in t3. He didn't have high level gear and I didn't have specific weakness weapons.

We start talking about mechanics of the game and quite quickly he tries to state somewhat half-true statements.
I try to give some helpful information and he seemed to take it but bitterly. I guess I was insulting him without intention.

He compliments people joining the group on gear who join after this lead up. He ask who "NEEDS" orbs? I respond and say I do and don't I have energy.
This statement isn't false all I really need is to decide what weapons I want to upgrade with the resources I have.

He asks I open a energy gate. I do and the squad wipes except me and another guy. I state in chat this is why I don't typically open energy gates. People who don't have energy typically don't have or use sparks. That is my experience at least. The loot is great but few understand the "risk."

Reason I say all that is looking back I guess I made him mad. He gets on his mic and begins to chastise me. Oh look the energy guy is doing poorly. The energy guy can't shield bounce. Its like I lost my identity. I didn't leave party because we were at depth 24 or 25 and I wanted those 5 star fire crystals (This isn't the smartest idea).

This peculiar case kinda ticked me off. we are in an endless spawn room and the team just walks away from me. They then proceeded to shield bounce enemies into me. I end up dying and as soon as I do. The individual on his mic flames me. He states I am a liar and I suck and quite a few colorful other things. In a defensive filled rage I type in chat back to him. He flames me and I flame back.

I didn't circumvent the chat but I did use foul language (it just wasn't blocked). He reports me. I tell him to do so gm can see it. My question after reviewing the methods of chat and how ignoring works.

How do you stop mic chatter? I muted his mic and ignored him. I could still hear him. I accept the warning and totally agree. I used language and that is my fault. I should of left the party.

I goofed. With a game with a wide variety of audiences I understand why language is an important part of the game. So how would you have handled it? Honestly! Do I just leave parties when people start being silly?
