Months of harassment

[Mirhd]

Considering how long this garbage has been going on, the only way I see SE actually cracking down is if this blew up on social media. That tends to light a nice, blazing inferno under a companies' butt. Unfortunate, but that's reality for you. >_>

Then I suggest actually bothering to read the thread you're commenting on. As over a dozen people have clearly stated, he's avoiding bans by making new trial accounts over and over with a VPN to get around IP bans.

Again, everything you just said has already been addressed. Hell, there are even screenshots posted that aren't even more than a day old, yet.

Honestly.

Which is why I'm of the mind that the free trial was a terrible idea. Free weekend? Sure. Free up to a certain level? Terrible idea.

WELP. This is the SECOND time he has directed his harassment/assault towards me personally, vs a generalized audience. This has gone way out of hand, and NEEDS to be dealt with. People get permabans for offenses far less extreme than this, and yet this person is STILL harassing myself and many others on Aether, for MONTHS. There has to be a permanent solution for this. It is affecting my gameplay, everyone else's gameplay (whether they want to admit it does or not), and potentially leaving a bad taste in new players' mouths' that are coming into the game, only to see extreme behavior like this. I blocked out the offenders name and friends' names, but did not block my name, because it's not revealing another player's name. The lack of action being taken is inappropriate, especially for a company as massive as Square Enix.

Hilariously enough, he doesn't actually seem to be smart enough to know what server you actually play on.

Congrats on becoming famous throughout the datacenter, my friend.

This guy just spammed the Novice Network on Gilgamesh with a wall of all caps slurs and profanity. I'm assuming I can't name and shame him but I'm certain it's the same person you all are talking about.

Do the mentors not just instaban people from the novice network?

It doesn't work because:

1. He has /leavenovicenetwork built into his spam macro and you can't kick somebody if they're not in NN anymore.

2. He has several accounts to spam on even if you somehow manage to kick him before he leaves.

Oh good god.

Leave Novice Network. It's just a cesspool of mentors offering no help and yelling at each other anyways. I can honestly say I have not once been in a NN where I gained any sort of valuable information or if on the very slightest of chances I did it was immediately followed up by another mentor offering "their suggestion" and the two mentors are back at it like chihuahuas.

I've rarely ever come across something like that. If anything, I jump in and tell them to stop their crap, because there are players asking questions that may go unanswered because of them acting a mess.

Much as it stinks, I think the one real way to handle this situation properly is to prevent free trials from using the novice network.

At MINIMUM, it would then require he spend $20 per time he's doing this, which'll eventually dry him out of money. As a bonus, it'll allow deter (some of) the rmt bots, who get invited to NN to spam in NN with their website until kicked.

Downside is newbies get screwed, but hey, Square's done it before instead of fixing the hack in PvP, so...

I'm inclined to believe that the people doing this sort of thing with such commitment don't view money as an obstacle, though.
