How to stop a stalker?

Like I said it can be blanked out, it is only a problem if you let it be a problem.

How can you be freaked out over someone following you on a MMORPG first off there are only so many zones, so if the guy shows up and does nothing and hes there for a quest, shes freaked out, so he goes anywhere in game and shes freaked out if hes in same zone.

So the game should stop players from going to same zones, saying if this is happening.

No cause I didn't read what you had to say.

Due to the fact, if she had already black listed this guy, she could no longer see what he says.

So if the guy shows up in the zone to meet a friend,Quest,Mission or to repair and she gets freaked out for know reason and GM"s because of what happen before.

Should the game revolve around her and her emotions or should she home point or deal with it and move on.

If he does come to her and waves or pokes or dances, these are emotes in the game they mean squat, if hes black listed.

you guys are looking beyond and causing this to be M.dramatic.

I am done with this topic, because you make something into a bigger issue than it is. when its a MMOrpg tons of people play, tons of people say dumb things, tons of people spam emotes and say stupid stuff in tells like that everyday, its up to the person how they will handle this, I mean its not like the guy knows her in real life knows personal information about her like you guys are claiming he is a stalker, cause if he was one, he'd know everything about her and then some and hurrass her in real life to.

if that makes me ignorant so be it. peace out.

This is silly....

He's on your blacklist? Now move on. You're just giving him attention by making a thread about it.

This is why we can't have nice things. People honestly feel harassed by a kid spamming emotes? Good lord.

No, You are ignorant.

1. If I were "CyberStalked" not stalked as the real life term is, I would of blisted and moved on just like every RMT spams me everyday.
2. You guys make such a huge deal about it, when its a really easy thing to deal with.

Now if I was stalked and guy was going through my damn trash can and had my number and emailed me and texted me and chased me around in real life, I would consider this a problem.

but you guys have a twisted image in your heads, You all are jumping this "random person" guess what I am defending this random person so for that im ignorant haha get of of my face.

Maybe you should read the whole thread.

Read the post. Blacklist was already used. The stalker still follows them around and pesters them with emotes constantly.

You know... There was this one time when I played a Female Blood Elf Paladin in World of Warcraft. This Rogue would keep ganking me and trying to flirt with me. I didn't feel like making an Alliance character to tell him to stop being a weirdo. So then Blizzard comes out with their pre-expansion event for Wrath of the Lich King where everyone becomes zombies and etc.

After hours of kiting players around and murdering them because I was a Paladin and that's what Paladins do, dude ganks me and we become zombies. So I tell him that I'm a dude and to please stop bothering me right before i suicide and continue my zombie killing spree.

He doesn't, but one day I just stop caring and eventually he just stops playing the game or something.

Maybe you should read the whole thread.

the last time i was in this thread the entirety of the harassment was exclusively ingame and restricted to a single character

how hard is it to ignore someone? you can even filter out the notification of emotes in your preferred chat channel.

Why is someone emailing/texting you a problem? According to you, the game isn't real. The game is on the internet. Your email is on the internet. Your cellphone is essentially a crappy computer.......

Because, obviously, your phone number and email are much more personal details than your avatar in a videogame.

Are we really having this conversation?

I didnt read the whole thread here I just skimmed over it. so pardon me if someone else said this but, from the description here it sounds like the stalker has help from someone on her friends list to me. maybe she should see if she can find out who it might be. once the helper or helpers are eliminated the chances of him finding her get slimmer and slimmer
also if you blist someone in an LS or FC they can still see your location that way. keep that in mind

Also like someone said before. We dont have the whole story , the OP is placing her as the victim and I have a feeling that she started to have *fun* with this guy and suddenly go in avoid mode for some reason. The *stalker* is still thinking they are having fun.

I was in the another spot a few months ago , same LS and stuff. So I deleted and blacklisted this person , but i still ran into her sometimes. Once unblacklisted when i saw her atma farming and asked how she was doing nothing much was very friendly and stuff , ofcourse blacklisted her again. The problem was i didnt see her talk in the LS and we reacted it seems on the same stuff , but she taught I was attacking her al the time or stalking everytime she respone even i didnt she her talking. ( I heard from another peeps ). O well that stuff happen if you were on very good terms ones. Fault on both sides.

So I was friends with this character for a while, but then I wanted to go into another FC, and ever since I've been stalked and get almost daily tells sent to me about the goofiest stuff, saying things like "it's our destiny to be together" and "I want to cling to my friend all day." I ran out of patience with this person and have now blacklisted them, and now they follow me around, dance on stuff outside of my house, and is just an all-around nuisance. Not to mention that their attire is always easy to spot anywhere around, and the emote spams they do announce their presence way in advance.

I won't say the name of this person, to prevent giving them more attention (I'm sure you can guess if you're on Midgar), but they've become a real creep and won't get the message that I want nothing to do with them. I've sent a harassment report already, and will send more each time I see this person stalking me.

So how do I get rid of a stalker that won't take a direct message to go away?

okay so some questions spring to mind after re-reading this after some of the responses such as this one

this blurb is to the OP
did you flat out tell that player to go away, that you wanted their advances to stop? cause if you didn't then I think perhaps you should atleast try this and see what happens. if that works you won't even have to blist them. if not you at least told them so they aren't thinking you are just playing hard to get. some people don't even realize they are stalking and will stop when it's pointed out to them. but if you say nothing and just blist them they might just think they are having fun

No , This is a story the another way around. The girl taught i was stalking her. So this i kinda the view of a *stalker*.

err I probably should have stated that blurb was to the OP >_>
so sorry for the misunderstanding. corrected my post
