@Moriarte
Reporting accounts gives these lil drama queens exactly what they want: attention and drama.
Let's assume that said account gets banned/punished in the process, which would be best, guess what will happen next?
You guessed it: next account.

If such people are bent on causing collateral/drama, they will find a way. Always. It doesn't pay to underestimate their ability or drive. Rather accept that they exist and are rather predictable. Whatever hurts/annoys their team is the way to go. It is possible to minimize their potential amount of team damage to a single FF incident per match (i.e. selective FF immunity). And that works without kicking them from the game or kill their account, against which they are largely immune to because neither specific IP addresses nor IP ranges can be banned. That's where technology is working against us.

I totally agree on implementing some fail safe with FF, but FF will be a big part of the tactics in this game and hampering one account will have the same effect as banning, they just start another one.

Best way to get rid off unwanted guests imho is having the important matches/fights filtered towards in game achievements, griefers rarely take the time to build a good account.

But it is F2P and whether we like it or not we will see those goons around.
