Wow...I'm kind of astonished right now.

I recently came to this game from WoW, and their forums are absolutely toxic and disgusting. I was full well prepared to come check on this thread and see 5 pages of people making fun of me or defending the person I reported and calling me names.

But...people agreeing with me? Really, no sarcasm here, I think my heart just grew two sizes.

Thank you all for your replies, I got an answer from a game master an hour or two ago that identified what the player did as "griefing" and that it would be investigated and dealt with. Honestly I didn't think SE would do anything, but it looks like I was wrong. They may not have code in place to prevent it, but I'm at least happy they (seem too) act upon situations like this. I went the rest of tonight without any issues with any other players, even had a really good player help me learn some new boss fights I'd never done.

It feels so weird being in a community that isn't so hostile.
