Best hate conversation ever

[homerjunior]

Be careful. He ignored you multiple times, on multiple accounts.

If he were smart (though I doubt, from the conversation, that he has a strong grasp of the rules), he COULD report you for continued harassment and bypassing the in-game anti-harassment /ignore feature by using multiple accounts.

It would've been simpler and cut out the risk to leave it be after the /ignore and let him learn his lesson from the GM's mouth.

Can we get a blue link on that? If that were agaisnt the rule's would not submitting ticketsx5 be aswell

Not quite the same thing, I think. Because Blizzard deals with characters before the players behind them, someone doing something to a number of characters warrants multiple reports regardless of the number of players behind those characters.

In this particular case, my only possible justification (as had been pointed out) is that he communicated to all of my characters. Normally, what I did would have been a problem. It might even turn into an issue if the wrong GM found out about it since they are likely NOT paid to think through the rules and possible reasons for my doing what I did.

assumptions assumptions
i hate arguing against assumptions

PST predates WoW by far, now is there an older MMO that only had tells in it?

Star Wars Galaxies has /tell only. For years didn't even have /reply nor could you click someones name to send a tell to them. Everytime you wanted to reply or send a tell you had to /tell johnboy. Man that was annoying.

Yes, it did. I played SWG up until I started playing WoW at its release, and even then I continued to play both simultaneously until SOE ruined the game. I was used to referring to "whispers" as tells, and even when some of my guildmates joked about the fact that "WoW isn't SWG" so "it's time to move on and use /w," I refused to make the adaption just because I was comfortable with using tells by this point. (Old habits die hard?)

Now...? I still call it a "tell" and not a "whisper." After four years my friends have finally accepted the fact that they aren't going to change my opinion, and rightly so. It really boils down to personal preference in the end, and no one has a right to dictate which method a player chooses as the game accommodates both options.

Yes what did? I too still refer to them as tells. When talking with freinds or at work I never say, "Let me whisper you something". I say, " Let me tell you something". lol. Whisper just sounds silly.

You said, "Star Wars Galaxies has /tell only." I then replied by saying, "Yes, it did"; that is, I was reaffirming what you said.

but then he said "fuck" and I was like LOL YOUR DONE NOW.

You can get someone banned for dropping an F-bomb?

AFAIK swearing at someone in a whisper will merely result in a polite word from a GM (assuming it's reported) and a warning not to do it again.

Swearing in /trade /say /yell or other _broadcast_ channels is a more sever offence and you _might_ get a suspension.

Repeating the offence could earn you a ban if you do it enough.

Threatening behaviour is also treated more seriously.

I imagine that calling the GM a **** when he speaks to you would make a world of difference to the result...

Do you /tell a person or do you /whisper a person?

/t and /tell are both IN the game, but I've never seen or heard of anyone who uses those commands over /w and /whisper.

So is it "Please send TELL?" or is it the sound of a WHISPER? And if you /w me in response, does it count as a tell even though you used a whisper command?

It's "please send tell" in my book. Played Asheron's Call looooong before WoW, and there was no /whisper command. It was @tell.

I don't /whisper back, I /reply

Blizzard will ban your account for swearing, yes. As far as I know, you progress through the penalty pyramid as well (three hours for a first offense, 24 for a second, etc). As I understand it, they treat public (/yell, /say, /general) channels differently than private (/whisper, /guild) channels. So you might get away with swearing in tells or guild chat, but it may depend on the circumstances. ie, If the GM considers that you're being hostile and using language to harass another player, it's possible that they'll issue an account penalty.
