I'd just a game where somebody wanted to report me. What's the reason to report someone?

[_b_]

Actual reasons are more or less only behaviour that is very toxic or causes teamdamage...incl pushing ppl out of cover and similar arsehat stuff..

 

But ppl say report for anything! So unless you did something bad just don't care about it

[jack_timber]

Lots... Personally only report folks for TK or damage or blocking.

Nowt to get to concerned at unless you did one of the above.

When good players get shot by less good players, their usual response is to cry aimbot.

[Knight_1969]

I did nothing of all the things you mentioned above. The only thing that I did was getting back to the base, to protect it, because the enemy was approaching.

Some links that might help, or they might not.

Actually, all, or most of the gold ammo, aimbots, hacks threads aren't made by good players, but by bad or mediocre ones,

so your argument is invalid.

Well at least you were looking at minimap, summat some players don't do, so well done for awareness.

Like I said before don't get to concerned.

I wasn't being serious. I'm at work and don't have anything else to do.

That was probably what you did wrong. You weren't playing the way he thought you should be therefore he's going to report you. This is what you get sometimes when you allow people to play online games without being IQ means-tested first.

But it seems to me that another player don't can decide in what way a teammember can play his/her game.

That's probably the reason why players report you. Granted you're a new player but have already reached tier 6 too soon. Your skill is still trying to catch up. 

It's been mentioned often enough but looking up game mechanics and understanding them helps.

These are the words of _b_: 'Actual reasons are more or less only behaviour that is very toxic or causes teamdamage...incl pushing ppl out of cover and similar arsehat stuff..'

 

Like I said I did nothing of this at all. Or he must see this like very toxic.

[Knight_1969]

Another case of reporting.

 

 

I was yesterday playing a game. In this game a teammember was very annoying. I would take position on a hill. There was plenty of space on that hill. But I think he was trying me. Because every spot I tried to stand, he was blocking it.

Before I got away, he takes a shot at me. Can I report this person?

[Persekettu]

If I am on enemy team and you shoot me with arty, I will always report you.

The reason is that you can do it 10 times.

... and that is one reason why the in game Report system is just a placebo to vent your frustration with... the report system just sends all reports to the servers trash bin

[ignaskarate]

Why you can get reported? For not going in direction,  where your tank presence is crucial. I reported obj705 in tier 7-9 game, because he with 2 heavy tanks went beach. This is map-dont know what its named in english, in my language its "master". Battle is happening on hill, only idiots go beach and dies when trying to climb on hill back. 705 did nothing until all team died, then he was flanked and died. Its hard to fight more tanks and more armoured ones, when your teammate decides to flank all enemy team in a slow heavy. it was like 6 tanks-light, med and destroyer vs 9 tanks-light, med, heavy and 3 artilery both sides. Of course 9 heavier tanks won vs 6 in under 3 minutes. Would enemy push if they met 705 on their way?-Of course not. I can spot in a light tank, i can run away, but where to go when enemy realized that only tanks stopping them are light with low dmg guns, destroyers with low dmg guns?

Agreed but it's not against the rules to be an idiot.

 

People like you are the reason that it needs so many reports before anything is done against the real offenders.  You break the report system.  If all reports were genuine rule violations then WG could take action after only a few rather than a few hundred.
