Square Enix Does not care about Stalking/Harassment In Game

irrelevant. They were asked to leave private property and they didn't.

Thinking neighborhood style housing where people purposefully keep their doors unlocked to allow for people to enter their homes is private is a choice.

If the OP locked their doors and the person still refused to leave, that would be more in line with your logic of thinking. It's not private unless you make it private.

They did.
And they asked her to leave. Which she refused.
Anything else?

They stated multiple times they don't want to lock their doors because it prevents their FC members inviting people over and something about static members not being able to be inside.
Where are you getting that they did?

Also, still doesn't change the fact that unless the person is pushed to actually violate the ToS, they're not going to do anything. Being in someone's FC house and not doing anything other than existing there isn't enough. They have to either resort to spamming something or verbally insulting someone. My person simply following me from zone to zone was not enough for the GMs, it was only at the point of her resorting to spamming slap emotes and sending messages in whisper to myself and friends that they stepped in. They expect us to handle issues that arise unless it gets to the point of someone actually being threatened or someone committing harmful acts.

lemme try this another way, not locking your house does not turn your house into public property.

Technically, in a game, not locking your house turns it into "anyone can get in, no one gets kept out, being in your house is not a violation of the Terms of Service". The privacy setting is binary - either you lock everyone who doesn't belong out, or you let everyone in.

Not public property per se but for game purposes it does grant public access to anyone that wishes to enter.

I think a lot of FCs could stand to review their rank settings if they're worried about unwanted visitors to their FC house but want their members to be able to invite friends in. Just assign trusted members Guest Access/Estate Tag Settings in the rank hierarchy settings. That way the door can be kept locked most of the time but if someone's friend is visiting, a member can briefly unlock the door to let them in.

If that one FC would stop reacting to their unwanted visitor and giving them the attention they crave, they'd probably get bored with their little game and find something else to do. People who do things like that are attention seekers who only know how to play stupid games to get it.

it's kind of amazing how people are defending stalking and harassing because they didn't lock the door.
That is as dumb as people saying. "You can't scan the item, it must be free"

Dude, it's a VIDEO GAME. Relax.

Your opinion don't matter.
If you want to get rid of this individual from your house, do what GM says.
Lock the door, give him proper warning, blacklist him, then report to GM.
Once these are done, you empower GM to take required action.

This is much better than reality.
If you think Stalking is easy to prosecute, you are naïve and need to do some more reading on articles relate to Stalking.
If OP decides want to continue RP/ERP venues, then this is something he need to learn to deal with by just blacklisting him.
There is no trespassing in FF14, you can choose you don't want to get disturb by lock the door; otherwise, stop whining on the forum

Who is defending stalking? The solution from the GMs was exactly this "lock your doors". The OP chose to ignore it. The GMs can't do anything to a player for entering an open house, regardless of whether they annoy you personally or not.
