Online Bullying - A Dev request for a response and discussion

[Rekujen]

This is stupid, harden up...

It's people like yourself that play online games and want everything to be rainbows and unicorns, you dumb the game down even more with your tears and make companies implement stupid care-bear restrictions... This is why we aren't allowed to send /tells to people during instanced content, because people are "too mean to each other" which is an insanely stupid limitation to have in an MMORPG. I can't whisper my friend because Square-Enix has put limitations on communication.... dumb.

People are mean in real life too not just video games, how do you deal with a mean person on the bus? do you call the police and demand an arrest? no, no you don't. Ignore them, call them idiots and move on... that's life.

why should i have to? because you're not entitled to special treatment, the world doesn't revolve around you...

Vote-Kick should be implemented if it isn't already, apart from that, nothing can be done.

So then the bullies can be entitled to special treatment to continue such behavior? No. There's a system in place already to report harassment, because it is not acceptable. Don't try and tell others it's ok because you might have dealt with some BS in your life.
Fact of the matter is, if you conducted yourself in the same behavior as OP pointed out IRL, you'd be charged with harassment and/or something more.
The net does not give you the right do it without repercussions
