Does Blizzard usually let this stuff slide?

  1. Your guild name says Lies and Slander. I dont know if I should believe this big paragraph that I don’t want to read again.
  2. Blizzard is not gonna do anything. Send it to cyber security or something if it’s extremely concerned matter of exploits on person’s life that can be threatening.

1- This character is an alt
2- Being someone who had literally done nothing along those lines, since you have this advise to you have any recommendations on a particular company

There is no way he got your address from wow unless you put it out there.

Block him

Open a ticket and report it

This isn’t a GD issue

If this is all really happening, go to the police. More than Blizzard needs to be involved.

I still haven’t put my address out there. I still can’t explain how he got it but why on earth would I wake up one morning and put my families address and just give it to the guy harassing me?

Some rando on the wow forums wouldn’t have access to your personal information.

Unless you somehow directed him to some other place that publishes your personal info

My only guess is he could have spent a while after getting my name searching for me on a platform like Facebook or Instagram. I don’t tell random people where I live Vicktoria.
Even putting that aside it doesn’t excuse in my opinion the harassment of multiple underage females?

Then report it in the proper manner

This isn’t the place to do that

If you are so worried about it and have all this evidence
Go do something about it.

Because stirring up the masses in GD isn’t accomplishing anything

Do you by any chance use your in-game character name outside the game? I made that mistake a long time ago once and sorta got doxxed.

Sorry to say, posting on GD isn’t gonna amount to a hill of beans. You need to file ongoing harassments tickets. If he’s posting real life info, submit a ticket for real life threats.

I dont believe the OP. Blizzard takes this stuff serious and for the OP to know the dude is 40 means OP had interacted with this person on a really close personal level. OP prolly knows his name and other info too. Im gonna say this is just a one sided thing and we arent hearing the real story as usual

But yeah as I said Blizzard takes this serious because if they dont and someone is hurt they could be sued and blizzard doesnt like lawsuits as we all know.

Things that didn’t happen

Blizzard has a specific option for this when someone in-game is providing your personal information (like you previous address) in chat.

You’ll want to put in a ticket using the optionlinked below. I would include and dates and times where this information has been linked in-game.

Also, make zero contact with this person. Do not reply to them in any way, just put them on ignore and open a ticket for every instance this person bypasses ignore.

So here are two ticket options:

  1. For divulging personal information, you’ll want to use the Real Life Threat option:
    https://us.battle.net/support/en/help/product/wow/197/478/solution

  2. For bypassing ignore, each time they do that (again, make no contact, no reply to them) put in a ticket for Ongoing Harassment:
    https://us.battle.net/support/en/help/product/wow/197/683/solution

Lastly, if you feel you’re in any immediate danger, please contact your local police. If you have other questions, feel free to start a post in the CS forums too.

It’ll at least give me the advise on where I need to go for these type of matters, as I don’t come into contact with them ever.

Why would blizzard tell you to catch him on live? Another thing that didn’t happen

Thank you for the links, they are very helpful and show me in steps where to go for these type of situations.

If what you say is true, then I think it is relatively straightforward for Blizzard to take a look at this individual’s activity and take action. If they haven’t taken action yet, and he has been flagrantly breaching the rules, then I would expect them to ban him - forever.

If the poster in question is sharing personal information about you - I’d see what I could do to have him criminally charged.

I have the gm messages in folder as well

After looking at your server
Is this a moon guard goldshire issue?

This story makes no sense. If the guy is doing all that you claim, has been doing if all year long and doing to several other player then Blizzard would have done something by now. They have access to everything said in game and if you are communicating with him out of game, well can’t do anything about that.

Yup, the mate’s actually stalking you. You might want to get the police involved there.
