It certainly didn't take long for players to find a way to grief each other in Tom Clancy's The Division. As reported by Eurogamer, you're put in a small room near the start of the game following a cutscene with a main character. When the cinematic is over, another Agent can stand in the room's doorway and block your exit, essentially ending your progress and trapping you inside for all eternity.
Okay, perhaps that's a slight exaggeration: there's a trick to actually getting past whoever's blocking your way, but most players don't seem to know it. Instead of trying to squeeze between the perpetrator and the door frame, simply run against the offending player for a few seconds. According to the report, the game should eventually phase you through them, allowing you to continue with your quest to shoot rioters and collect knee pads.
It's a reasonably easy workaround, then, but that isn't stopping new players for panicking and getting angry. Arm yourself with the above knowledge and continue your mission in the comments section below.

....and so it begins....
It's stuff like this that makes me greatly prefer single player games. For me trying to play online is more trouble then it's worth.
Must admit this made me laugh a little, but to be honest its dealing with people like this that makes playing online less enjoyable. This game seems to be aimed at the mainstream demographic, which in gaming doesn't bode well.
Oh well. It's probably what pokemon is missing, knee pads.
This sort of thing is a pain, and is the reason why I didn't buy day 1. There are usually problems with clowns on on-line games; look at the crazy cheating on Destiny's Trials of Osiris. Will definitely give The Division a look, but will wait a while I reckon.
@Mergatro1d Lol
This is why we can't have nice things.
Ubi should patch it so that if you stand in the door for more than 5 seconds, you're kicked.
Man that's funny wonder if I'll have to deal with that in a few days.
This has never happened to me but I agree with @paranoima that idiots that try this should be kicked off, I would kick them off for 10 mins, if they get kicked off 3 times in a day they should be kicked off for a day etc until they see sense.....If there's any there that is!!!!
@shogunrok "continue with your quest to shoot rioters and collect knee pads" was my GUFFAW of the Day. Thank you!
