What is with people?

I believe it actually is. The Report Harassment option in-game includes harassment via gameplay means, and this would fall squarely under it. But as brought up before, it's a very gray area, because how can you prove they were doing it intentionally instead of just, well, being bad?
Granted, if you have the proof, go for it. It's very much a reportable offense.

The issue here is nothing beyond this person saying in chat that they're trolling would count as proof. SE will always err on the side of caution with something like this. The only time I've heard of any real results via Report Harrassment via gameplay has been MPKers in Eureka.

To me both things that were done were equally wrong - it's just different kinds of trolling. Both should have the same penalty and yet one will likely never see any repercussions from their actions.

True, but it's good to remember their name. No way I'm condoning the message they received after they were kicked, but at the same time, being called out on your bs twice on the forums within a year establishes a pattern of wanting to play the victim. Even if it weren't true about what really happened in the duty, OP's credibility is shoddy right now. Maybe they do need to take a step back and try to play properly before trying to play the victim a third time.

I'm hesitant to blist people like this guy. It doesn't have a tangible benefit to me and there is then the issue of being unable to see if they're saying anything to or about you if you're partied with them again.
