Either way, let's say that the killed guys did not log on to your realm and whisper you. But the rogues would sitll play hide and seek, yet their motivation is still the same: you are a boxer and they don't let you win. Would you still consider that a 45m waist of your time?

In the end you are the boxer, you are the one who can't deal with 2 hiding rogues. Stealth, cloack of shadows, vanish are class abilities. You should know that the moment you step into arena. And if you disagree you could always forfeit the game.
The obscenities were nothing but a minor annoyance during the match, however they did outline pretty clearly, for the GM to see, what their goal was. Mainly when they said that they weren't going to let us win because I was boxing. A team of similar composition would've had the same problem with these rogues, it has nothing to do with the fact that I was boxing.

It was obvious, even before the whispers, what they were trying to do to us. There's no other explanation for their actions. The whispers and obscenities just pushed it even further into the realm of harassment.

I'm not sure why you think that I figure the outcome of the match should be determined from people spouting obscenities at me, but clearly their intention was harassment. A GM response the day after confirmed that they are indeed allowed to interfere with a match under such circumstances. I'm baffled why the GM we had the night before didn't think so. That's more where I'm concerned.

Just because a class has the abilities doesn't mean that anything they do with them is okay, they can still be abused. Just because they can do it, doesn't make it okay.
