I'm being taunted by a bot farmer...

I kind of regret even posting this because I forgot that most of the time, people end up assuming I'm the one in the wrong for whatever reason.

So the guy you've been "stalking" named his retainers after you. Ok. Well we each can name our retainers whatever we want. How's that malicious on his part though?

The GM who PM'd me did acknowledge that it can be considered harassment depending on the intent and the names involved. In this case, he's obviously doing it to spite me now that I know that he's the face behind the bots (He specifically changed the names of his retainers after this fact and it was extremely easy to identify them just based on what his bots are farming as he has no restraint and sells several hundred aethersands simultaneously), which ultimately amounts to nothing due to the "action team" that deals with cheaters being absurdly incompetent or a myth.

I have no idea why anyone would think that...

There's a pair of gathering/crafting bots that have been my server forever. I've spent a great deal of time stalking them and have also reported them multiple times, but naturally, nothing was ever actually done about them...

...So yeah. This is just me venting because my attempts to get someone banned for years of cheating have only ended up causing problems for me in the end.

...Oh...

Teasing aside, while your name and variations are being used how do you know another player isn't the guilty party? Sure you say this guys a bot farmer, but someone else could be behind those retainers. Nothing stopping someone from buying up and relisting mats or just dumping farmed ones for that matter.

Really though I'm still having a hard time seeing this hurting your rep. Anyone can name a retainer based on your toons name if it isn't already taken. Anyone. Honestly, you say you have a rep on your server, you could have a stalker of your own.
