He then trolls the entire zone by making snarky comments in shout such as "time for everyone to start crying" so he knows what he's doing and is being spiteful about it. We've reported him time and time again but despite outlining his behaviour all we get is "engaging an unengaged hunt mark isn't a violation" and it's really putting me off the game altogether when the GMs will do NOTHING to intervene. Honestly what was the point in the change in the prohibited activities when it doesn't cover players being a disruption to an entire community of THOUSANDS of players and then provoking them afterwards? He's doing it every single day. Is there really nothing we can do to put a clamp on this guys' behaviour?

The drama is stemming from player imposed "societal rules" which were not intended as quote/unquote "proper hunt behavior" by the devs.

This is something the community came up with itself. There is no way to enforce this type of community driven behavior because it is not sanctioned officially.

As such people not conforming to these "rules" are of course going to rub people the wrong way.

But that is not up to the devs to police nor should they have to or be compelled to change the rules of S Rank makeup and behavior to kowtow to any one principle.
IIRC it's not forbidden to grief the whole DC by despawning Forgiven Gossips.
