So, they backed down. I had sent them a complaint that the ban was not acceptable and explained the level of harassment we went through before me saying the dreaded 'bugger off'. This was the exact opposite of what happen when I tried to talk to a GM live...I will go to my grave thinking it was not a real person...just a rule pasting bot. So, I hope this is not too much top ask, but maybe Blizz not only allows boxing, they might actually stop allowing the harrasment? Nah...too much to ask

I wonder if there is a mod that auto ignores people based on context ...

So far I've been getting alot of responses on both sides of the spectrum. For a while my shamans weren't getting anywhere just because I was chatting with total strangers rather then leveling.

So far the worst response was from some guy leveling his alt, he decided it would be funny if he brings his level 70 mage and started following me around and tagging every mob I attempt to kill. Even the ones I did manage to tag gave little experience because he killed them in in with one shot. I ended up reporting him for harassment, put him on ignore and logged off for 30 minutes to do something else. Leveling numerous level 70s on a pvp server, I'm used to the times where I want to play but forced to simply log because of gankers and body camping.

In response to Zenthor's post re: same faction harassment/griefing, that is a reportable AND actionable offense to the parties doing those actions.

Some concrete examples for:

- You're killing elementals. A same-faction character decides to harass you by consistently Banishing the elementals you have tagged
- A high level, same-faction character is following you around, killing quest mobs repeatedly without looting

If you have those things happening to you, they are against the rules. You can report them for harassment and they will be investigated and actions can be taken. A GM will be able to determine rather quickly that these characters are harassing you rather than playing the game they way they want to, no matter how much they protest.

This will also apply to cross-faction characters doing the same thing to you on a PVE server. On a PVP server, this won't work at all with cross-faction characters since the response you'll get is that there is a "PVP solution to your problem."; though it will still apply to same-faction characters.

Does all that make sense?

My first "omg reported" moment since I started dualboxing last month:

Restarted my Xaedra/Zaedra combo, made them into hunters instead of mages.



Hopefully he'll actually read up on it and get his facts straight.. but I doubt it.

Apply /DND (do not disturb) on all your toons and leave your main free.

Just wait until you start doing EotS/AB/WSG etc and have 4 people follow you all accross the map. Ofcourse including flames because "You made us lose!". Fun times .

I've been blamed for AB losses when it was 11vs 15 (11 allies) and the other 7 people on our team were following me around, watching. Literally no defense screaming "WE'D WIN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TARDS LIKE THIS WASTING FOUR SPOTS"

[Lyonheart]

I am not looking forward to getting my non AV marks..but i will just ignore chat all together hehe. I mean i HAVE to do it.. no way i will split the team up and do it one toon at a time.

most people on my server are actaully pretty positive, they think it looks pretty cool 'n stuff.

Although even the people who think it looks fun/awesome all assume i'm either selling gold or selling accounts.
