(2) So I still ask what exactly do people expect GM's to do? Should they just drop the ban hammer for every person someone feels is a creep, annoying, disrespectful, or whatever? Sure would nice if SE offered more tools to remove troubled people, but at the same time FFXIV team does not seem to like actions that overtly single out a certain person.

(1) And you're fine with just giving SE a pass on that? You're fine with allowing them to not have features that many other online spaces have that assist with preventing poor behavior? The fact that FFXIV doesn't have these features is essentially the biggest part of the issue here. GM intervention would not be necessary if they existed.

We as players should not be okay with the lack of these features. If you're accepting of it, then you're supporting SE's decision to support poor behavior in-game.

(2) Your whole argument against GM intervention is the idea that the GMs are going to punish someone that hasn't done anything wrong. You act like it's going to turn into a witch hunt when in reality it's very simple. If someone asks you to stop doing something that is very plainly disruptive such as stalking then a GM should have a word with them at the least. And for example I'm pretty sure a GM is going to be able to tell who is simply on the same quest line at someone else and who is actively following another player around where ever they go. There aren't going to be any accidents. You don't accidently appear in every single location as someone else, you don't accidently enter someone else's house multiple times knowingly after they've asked you to stop.

If you actually think that these things can accidentally happen, I suggest you out yourself now and acknowledge that you support the creeps in this game.
