Honestly that’s the worst system then, if I call you x and you say back to me “why are you calling me that” ITS A DIALOGUE?!
FAR. OUT.
No it works, but it takes effort on your part too. You can be the bigger person, or be the victim.
In real life, if you report someone for harassment, but keep the dialogue going with them, it is detrimental to your case - a good defence lawyer will exploit this point.
This is no different, even if it’s within a game.

That is honestly ridiculous. This should be used as an incentive to look at EVERYTHING he has been saying to me and publicly and a perma ban should be implemented asap.
We are talking about PUBLIC SLANDER INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS TOWARDS MINORS.
THREATNING PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.
How he is not banned already is absolutely beyond me.
What you’re saying is THEY HAVE SEEN THIS STUFF, and choose not to ban him yet basicially.
That’s how harassment complaints work.
Otherwise, you can keep him off ignore and report any chat violations; but that won’t get him banned as quickly.
You’re only prolonging the time it will take for him to get banned from the game by continuing to engage with him.

Unless you told them your real identity, it isn’t.
Because they also see your responses.
How can you claim Blizzard isn’t taking this seriously when you refuse to use the tools they provided for this situation properly? That is truly beyond me.
Sorry, tired to help. Head is getting sore banging it against my desk now. Good luck.

Yep fair enough, I do appreciate the advice.
My only hope from this post was for them to thoroughly investigate him to be honest.
And everyone kept just spamming me with “Ignore him etc”
I don’t {care} about that, I want him investigated properly and the report system has literally done absolutely nothing for these whole two weeks of this.
The escalate ticket does nothing also and does not open a ticket HENCE why I made this post here.
I was not looking for advice or sympathy, i just wanted him investigated PROPERLY.
Not oh lets look up Nat and his conversation, No, they need to look at his whole chat history for every single person affected by this guy and what he says in ./4 if that’s even possible.
Sorry, nothing is gonna happen by complaining over the forums. Everything everybody has said is true. If you are not gonna use the available tools, then nothing can be done.
Honestly, you are not gonna like this… You are the perfect mark.
You are flipping out, giving the guy everything he wants. And then claiming the tools given don’t work, just feeds into it. Maybe you might want to step away from the game for a bit, seeing how you are unable to follow instructions to handle it properly. It takes two to tango.
note: chat ingame is not private or personal.

If you genuinely want this investigated properly then you need to follow the advice given.
Put him on ignore and open an ongoing harassment ticket. Any time he contacts you or you hear from others that he’s going off in chat about your, edit your ticket to add that info. If you do this, he’ll get banned pretty quickly.
If you continue your current course of engaging, you are harassing him back and can end up with penalties yourself.
You may not like the method of handling this kind of issue; but insisting on doing things your way because you feel that’s how it should be is only hurting you.

Just so you are aware, Vrakthris, even Orlyia, does have access to view the chat logs. And Vrakthris did not call you a liar, he just pointed out with your behaviour too.

Stop taking the bait, he’s fishing for a fight so you both end up getting a ban or something.

No, he took what Natalaya (my character) said to {the other person} in my chat as literal.
What Natalaya said to {the other person} about “my friend” was refferring to Mierin, which was in fact MY other character who was abused in the first place.
I never said anything in my post of that sort so I was not untruthfull here. I did not include the name Mierin as I wanted that character to stay incognito to {the other person}.
I knew he was here watching this post.
Ie, He did not look into who Mierin was and called what I said “Not entirely accurate” if he had of, he would of seen it was MY character.
I reported him on Mierin too so I would of thought there would of been a record there.
I was only misleading to {the other person}. Not the forums. And not to Arak.
"Your story about “how this started” doesn’t appear to be entirely accurate as you claimed it was a friend who was targeted, not you. "
Ie he thought I was talking about a friend when in fact there was no friend and it was me.
I logged onto Nat to try and pacify the situation between Mierin and {the other person}, which turned into {the other person}abusing Natalaya too referring to “Mierin” as mentally challenged and a r-word for being affected in game by other peoples abuse.
I believe it went something like this - “did my friend Mierin pxxx you off in some way, shes quite upset about your encounter”
He then went on to abuse Natalaya…Saying i was friends with a r-word etc.
{the other person} did not know Mierin was me either.
Do you get it now?..
So instead of over-reacting to Vrak’s comment - now that you have given more information, WAIT for Vrak to respond again.
Do we really need to go around in circles again?
It’s like you’re deliberately creating a drama by not being upfront from the start (you weren’t, no matter what you claim.
You should have told Vrak right away of your ‘friend’ is you also - but for some reason you didn’t.
So now you’re reacting to that AFTER the fact?
C’mon. Really?

Folks, folks. This spiraling back and forth isn’t going to accomplish anything.
Give the blues time to get into work and them decide what the best course is regarding this thread.

I am replying to people posting here. That is all. I am more than happy to wait and am 100% over this.
I also have said why I didn’t tell Vrak here about Mierin as I had thought he would of seen that somehow, now I know that would of been impossible as he only had Natalaya and {the other person} msgs to go off.
Move on from that please.
I have also stated that I thought he would of closed this and msg’d me as I was just trying to grab a blues attention, I know now that thanks to comments that that is impossible too.
Back in the day, I would of had a GM privately msg me about this and we would of chatted, and I would of happily explained any questions he had with any evidence needed.
Instead he choose to dis-credit my post by saying I was not being truthful.
Edit - I would of thought after seeing Mierin mentioned in the chat between Natalaya and {the other person}, Arak would of looked into who that character was and saw it was mine…I guess they are just understaffed these days and don’t have time to delve into stuff properly.
I guess I better make sure there is plenty of Bamboo for Orlyia and some Centaur Snacks for Vrakthris.

That’s probably the best course, even if people continue to post in the thread.
Nothing is going to come of anything that’s said or argued here.

Look.
It doesn’t matter who said what to who.
If you don’t want to hear from them, put them on ignore.
That’s is.
End of.
Nothing can be done to help, if you won’t take the singular basic step which has been asked of you.
Don’t put them on ignore then remove it again “just so you can see what they’re saying”.
Put them on ignore, and leave them there.

Yes thanks, Do you have the power to close this and have Arak only able to see what is written here somehow?
Or will it all be deleted?
I don’t see how anyone needs to see this anymore, as I stated I just did it to attract a blue as the in game ticket option has not worked for me after 10+ tries and reporting was to no avail also.
I never ment to attract the community and their advice but had no other option.
I can’t close threads or otherwise change their status. Just the Blues can.
As for how it’s addressed, it’s solely the Blue’s discretion.

I am so sorry for your situation. The only question I have for you is, “Do you want a solution?” And I will assume the answer is yes.
The first thing to understand it that YOU are letting someone else CONTROL YOU, which is a hard pill to swallow, I must admit.
They KNOW that as long as they keep throwing out the bait, you will continue to respond. You are giving them power over you. It’s a rough concept to accept and I’ve struggled with this myself.
The HARDEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO is to NOT respond. I know this is extremely hard, but I promise you that this is vital.
Ultimately, the only way to win this fight is to TAKE CONTROL BACK and that requires a tremendous amount of strength, especially when you are deeply wounded.
You must ignore and honestly turn off all chat…and this will be very hard. Tell all your friends to ignore and NEVER relay to you what is said. Yes, this is infuriating and they will escalate when they don’t get a response.
THIS IS KEY!!! These kinds of people LIVE for the conflict and reaction. The biggest way you hurt them is to give them NOTHING.
You want to win? This is how you win. Take back control, ignore them, don’t let them control you and don’t worry what a bunch of random people think (when most are probably part of the act) and find your peace. And the
It will be brutally difficult but it can help you find your peace. Eventually they will get what they deserve.
Good luck
PS. The biggest bonus is the less they get, the more angry and frustrated they become.
