Ignore the person completely. Do NOT respond in any manner to the person.
Make sure they are on Ignore. Pretend they are totally invisible and do not exist.
If, that person continues to follow you or attempt to block you or attempt to avoid in some manner the Ignore, then file a report.
If you talk to them 2 things happen.
You are feeding and rewarding the harassment.
Blizz will probably ignore the harassment report as you are retorting in kind or at least contributing to it by acknowledging the person.
Blizz is from my personal experience very good at stoping harassment (though itâs been a couple of years.) But it has to be done properly⌠Otherwise itâs a waste of their time.
People harass others for attention or vengence. If they donât get any reaction at all, their behavior then is not rewarding. Might take a bit but it will finally sink in that itâs wasting their time, and you donât care. ThenâŚIt will stop.
Tips to avoid the person since Blizz and other players are often not very helpful in regards to Physical/RP harassment. You can do events in instances, warmode as a different phase, or have someone on a under 70 character use chromie time and party sync your group, it might put you into a chromie time phase which this player cannot get into unless theyâre under 70
I literally agreed with you on this and said Blizz has the logs so acting like any communication negates the claim isnât your decision. Itâs theirs.
Feel free to ignore me. Nothing of value has been lost for either of us.
Gonna be honest, itâs a bit of an uphill battle to prove this individual is âharassingâ you if theyâre justâŚstanding there.
Iâve seen harassment of RPers in a variety of forms. Huge disruptive OOC arguments, taking a mount and making it huge so it envelops multiple players, flat out insulting folks, etc. If theyâre not doing anything of the sort Iâm not seeing the issue.
You can put them on ignore and go about your day, but maybe theyâre interested in seeing how RP works. Whatever theyâre doing, going by your testimony, it doesnât seem malicious.
I will give you my easy fix. I started hosting RP events in old raids. I would set the story about the raid, clear it out ahead of time, and then we could zone in and RP to our hearts content without some no-life griefer interfering. Blizz stopped caring a long time ago and their CS team is proof. I would suggest instanced RP. Small groups - dungeon. Large groups - raids. No chance to be stalked or griefed in there and you can avoid every ignorant player in the process. Used to be RP servers had rules, and GMs enforced them. Sadly, those days are a decade behind us.
People should not get chased out of the open world simply because someone just got home from their fast food shift and wanted to amuse themselves. Hopefully they find a solution.
Did you not see the part of being stalked through zones over days and also standing on character? That isnt anything but interrupting. Thatâs not observing.
A problem that should simply be admitted to as opposed to being considered some tin-foil idea. Itâs kind of a fact and we should approach the discussion considering it one as opposed to arguing in a regressive way about ships that have long ago sailed.
Iâm sorry but when official authority says âYou communicated with them so we will not actâ you can consider it a waving of the white flag on their part.
Iâm sorry no one is getting chased anywhere. The OP is free to be anywhere they want in this scenario the same as the person that is they believe is being disruptive to the RP. The reality is that the only thing thatâs at stake in this a literal character model existing in the same place as their RP.
You could make a case they are being disruptive or annoying but chasing people out of places is reaching. Maybe you could make this argument if it was a matter of pulling mobs onto the RP.
