They have followed them around in-game, worked around the block list, deleting and recreating alts, and have caused so much grief for this person. The harassment has extended out of game; following them on twitter, steam, accessing IRL information. While I know nothing can be done about the latter, nothing has been done about everything in game. Numerous people have reported this person, but they are still around, still harassing friends of mine.

They do not want to post here out of fear of this person seeing this.

Is there some other way to report this kind of harassment to SquareEnix and actually get results?
Assuming your words are true, this form of harassment is illegal (in the US it is a felony). If SE has records of it, and they have done nothing about it, they can put themselves in serious trouble. It wouldn't even take a lawsuit. The game being available in multiple countries places them in that country's jurisdiction, and the respective federal government can come crashing down on them hard. They don't take this lightly, believe me.

I know people just love to think that reports go unanswered for, but SE cannot just let illegal activity like that slide. It doesn't even matter that the person is using alts. All the matters is it keeps happening to the same player. Use your words carefully, as even this post can be considered false reporting if this activity is not true.
