However, one of the reasons for New 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 is mass-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 other New World players suggesting they mass-report the leader of an enemy Company or group of players, regardless of this results in a temporary or permanent ban, just so their Faction can have an easier time conquering the desired areas. Owning a settlement in New World is 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 for New 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.
New World is available right now for PC.
