new player reporting system

i understand that a player report has to be short, specific without unneeded details and without telling the story of your life in it
that means that the text space provided for a player report has to be limited and in most cases the space provided by the in-game ticket system should be sufficient

but inevitably more space is required in order to provide proof (as it is requested) about (for example) multiple fake-AFK ninja characters (as shown by Recount) who roll and win the roll for Acidic Blood but have already competed the quest line and already have Shadows Edge equipped (which as you already know that means that those characters cant even be traded the Acidic Blood)

so currently, instead of having a system where good players can report offenders easily and make the realms better to play, the text space limitations of the ticket system works the other way around, meaning it prevents good players from reporting offenders because there is just not enough text space to make a report
(thats just a random example dont dwell on it)

i don't suppose that the script-developers have any way to alter the in-game ticket system so i suppose im asking for a place in the website to report players properly, something similar to the bug tracker

what do you think

It really isn't. If the proof is proper, screenshots should speak for themselves. Rules literally say "brief explanation".

If you actually use imgur and make an account there, you can make albums with dozens of pictures, and between the pictures are text fields. Text fields that you can write additional information on. Keep the info short, direct and without extra jabber.

i dont know if you just ignored everything i wrote and just autoreplied that the report has to be brief like its some kind of wisdom because thats literally the first thing i said in my post, cant you read?

the GMs cant be expected to act like detectives, they need to be pointed to the right direction and explained whats up and when there are multiple offenses math says that more text is needed, like at least a sentence or two more, thats still very brief considering a >1 number of offenses

@OhieMitzen
i didnt know GMs are going to read those comments - if they do then thats the same thing i was asking so obviously there is no need to make something else since there is more text anyway

It's not about GMs acting like detectives, simply that a good report "speaks for itself," so to say. If you need to explain and contextualize and give a roadmap to understanding what you think you're reporting, 99 out of 100 times it's just a flimsy report trying to make up for it with verbosity. The GMs are going to judge a report based on the evidence, not on a written legal case. Either your evidence has someone demanding to be kicked to avoid a debuff or it doesn't; either it shows someone being racist or it doesn't; either it shows a Raid's loot rules being broken or it doesn't; so on and so forth, and the GMs will make the call based on that, not on whether you think item X should have went to player Y because of long explanation Z, for example.

As for multiple offenses, if you mean multiple instances of the same infraction, just add screenshots of each time (use an Imgur album like suggested if it's that many screenshots); if you mean different infractions, make separate reports for each.

I was banned for 'ninja looting' because an item had 21 parry rating on it and the tank decided to be a crybaby (WHILE LVLING). Nobody in the party agreed and he decided to grief the whole party by being afk filling a report so he got kicked from the party. So much for reports 'SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES'

Thank you for being an example and proving my point.

As I said, "the GMs will make the call based on that (the evidence), not on whether you think item X should have went to player Y because of long explanation Z," i.e., whether you and whoever else in the party thought he was "being a crybaby," whether it was "while leveling," whether it was whatever other excuse you might come up with, the evidence provided showed you stole the gear that should have went to him. The evidence spoke for itself, without any need for extra text space, and that's all there is to it.
