One of the reasons why there was a lot of hype surrounding Amazon Game Studios’New Worldbefore launch was that it was going to be a dedicated PvP game with plenty of enthralling large-scale wars. The game was later redesigned to bemore akin to a classic MMO, with PvE content for solo players and those who prefer joining groups of people, and even though PvP was exclusively the focus anymore, it still was a big deal.New Worldhas had a rocky few weeks after launch, and the game still isn’t in a great state, but things are slowly looking up.
However, one of the reasons forNew World’s fall was that players started discovering bugs or issues with the way the game was designed that could have a huge impact on the overall experience. One of them ismass-reporting, which is something that became apparent early after launch when players were trying everything to stay on top of the PvP game and get themselves territories by having enemy Companies automatically banned from the game. This issue persists to this day, unfortunately, as players are pointing out.

A Reddit user by the name of Jackdarkshade recently shared a post with a clip attached, showing that reporting people in mass is still being done in order to make it easier to claim territories. In fact, a streamer is shown talking to otherNew Worldplayers suggesting they mass-report the leader of an enemy Company or group of players, regardless of this results in atemporary or permanent ban, just so their Faction can have an easier time conquering the desired areas. Owning a settlement inNew Worldis a big deal, as the Company in charge is free to dictate the taxes for all players in the town, profiting from higher fees.
As it stands, it only takes 10 to 15 reports forNew World’s automated system to ban a player, which means that it’s extremely easy to mass-report anyone for any reason. Doing it for PvP purposes is possibly even worse, considering there is no personal grudge between parties, and it all comes down to getting benefits out of it.
The fact thatNew Worlddevelopers answered the community’s challenge to do a Myrkgard runis a good sign that Amazon is indeed listening to the players' feedback. As such, it’s not impossible that the mass-reporting issue will be addressed in the future, maybe making it impossible for the game to automatically ban players while partaking in Wars.
