Even if I got to knock them out of stealth, they would just cloak and vanish, so it was a cat and mouse game the entire time. Other members of their team would create characters on my server with offensive names and whisper obscenities to me, all the while saying they weren't going to let me win because I was boxing.

It was clear that what they were doing was harassment, so we opened a GM ticket and explained the situation. The GM watched the rest of the match (20-25 minutes worth) and seen the vulgar whispers I was getting but did nothing to intervene in the match, I was actually in awe. This team had successfully wasted 45 minutes of my night because they were vehemently opposed to my multi-boxing.

What really bothers me is.. the next day we opened another GM ticket for clarification of the situation and we were told they are in fact allowed to intervene in arena matches under those circumstances.
The obscenities shouldn't determine the outcome of the match. Yet I agree obscenities should be punished, though people tend to have a different sensitivity meter.

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.
