Months of harassment

[AstraBraifort]

Has anyone put the FF_XIV_EN twitter account on blast for this? It’s stupid, but normally when companies are called out on a public forum where they can be seen by more than just their core consumers, they tend to be a bit more proactive. If not, perhaps have one person make a tweet and attempt to get others to like, retweet, comment on it. If they dont respond to just the one tweet, make multiple tweets, begin tagging SE’s main twitter account, and ensure that each of these tweets get similar traction (perhaps by sharing amongst a specific, large group of people?)

A few of us have tried tweeting about this and sharing it around, but unfortunately none of us had a large enough following on the platform to get it rolling. We even directly replied to a few FF_XIV_EN tweets, but even then only a couple of other players would reply either dismissing the situation completely or offering unhelpful advice (like "Just block him?" as if that would actually work in this situation because of new alts being used every time). We're all just feeling a little defeated because if this situation were happening on a JP data center, it absolutely would've been addressed by now. But because it's on an NA data center, it's no real issue to SE it seems... Especially since it's only really affecting a small subset of players too (those in Aether's NNs).

How would they be able to address it on a JP data center any better than on a NA data center?

They tend to respond to JP related issues with much less public outcry.

If half as many JP players reported this as NA people did it would've been taken care of.

Take natural disasters as another example. Any kind of natural disaster that knocks out power in JP they pause things like housing auto-demo yet here in NA it takes several thousand people for them to do anything in the same manner.

While I want to believe it's just "Japan knows Japan problems better than other places' problems" there are some things that have made me question it. I think the mass amounts of nonsense that happens in the NA community has led them to start ignoring a lot of what we post/say about things.

I suppose you could also gather some people together and politely explain the situation to a prominent FFXIV streamer to see if they can start raising awareness about the issue through their platform.

That's a really good idea, actually.

Good luck. I’ve been harassed by months by someone imitating me by putting an apostrophe in their surname (exact character name otherwise) who then follows me around and harasses me. I fear for my life every day I log on. This person is deranged. GMs do nothing.

You dear for your life every day you log on but I assume you that is your twitch in your signature.

I mean if it is that scary why give the person more info? I get why to a degree no need to hide in fear or should have to hide in fear but to some degree if it is truly scary for you at that point one has to put their own safety first.

Some people are mentally ill and go to extremes to have the recognition they don't get in real life.

Damn. It is absolutely ridiculous that this is allowed to go on. SE really, really needs to step up its game or they're going to have his guy chase away all the new people.

That's exactly my main concern. As Astra previously said, we don't want new and old players alike seeing this BS and feeling like this is how the FFXIV community is, because it's not.
