People like me try to keep them busy! Five reports for the price of one! And the GM plays along.. =D

Tried to throw in at least mildly varied responses to him, but hey I was tired.

I wonder if they'll treat it as 5 separate issues, or all as one. Think they marked him 5 times? If so, is that an instant ban for the harasser? Isn't it something like 3hr sus, 3 day sus, 7 day sus, then ban?

Maybe GMs need a multibox setup to respond to multibox tickets. :)

In case you haven't noticed by now, the GMs respond to tickets regarding issues with other players in the same way with the same wording. It is most likely that GMs/Blizzard do have a script/bot for replying to tickets. That is the same conversation I have seen from GMs plenty of times. These days I purposely don't reply after the 'do you have time to talk about the ticket', and when they do the 'thanks for reporting this issue, blah blah, we will look into it', i say something and try to ask more questions. By then, with most GMs, i just get the scripted 'thanks for playing WoW', followed by the RP exit, and 'plx email feedbacks to wowgmfeedback'. You could probably type anything at that point and they wouldn't notice or care.

I've had GM conversations which have been pretty interesting. I've had GM's ask me to make chain heal stars after helping me (Can I get a gold star for that?) etc. So to some degree while it is scripted (And this does make it easier for them to do 5 at once) it's not that there isn't someone behind it reading what's happening.
