This game...

Part of me wants to say that some people should get out and learn how to actually socialize and part me of me wants to say that these same people should simply not socialize with anyone at all.

I had a bit of an encounter while working on some ARR relics.

I ran into this person while farming a fate for one of my books. Didn't talk to them, or say anything. Noticed they didn't have a relic but whatever. They can do whatever they want it's not really any of my business. I run around killing the enemies I need for my book and they don't catch up with me until I'm looking for the stuff in the U'Ghamaro Mines because of course they do. They mostly just sit there, doing nothing and following me around. I eventually move to a different world because I'm using discord to track the fates I need. They show up as I'm finishing up. Whenever I'd go into my dungeons, they'd be right there when I left the instance.

And it's like this for a good hour. I don't say anything because I really don't see that accomplishing anything.

I eventually DC travel home because I left my inks and alexandrites with one of my retainers. It's a good while before finally I get this in my tells:


I didn't say anything back but... really? Bruh I never accused you of stalking and you're defending yourself. Pretty sure you know what you're doing. You even said you're sorry.

Anyways I'm logged out now cause I need a break after grinding half a relic in a couple of hours. Guess I'll DC travel again later and end up playing hide and seek since I'm pretty sure there's not enough there for a GM to care(even though I got a tell that's basically incriminating).

1) That person needs to be reprimanded. 2) Get therapy. 3) Learn actual social skills.

That probably would be extremely annoying to code don't you think? Where the person is not visible outside of certain actions? Does any game have a BL that functions that way?

English is not my native tongue how is saying what two consenting adults do behind closed doors, and if no one is physically or emotionally condoning pedophilia? What else are we to do police what everyone does behind closed doors just to be on the safe side? How many people would really want that?

Leaving that aside it is a sickness, yes a fine line between having the attraction and attacking on it. All I am saying is maybe just maybe if people were more understanding that this was was a sickness that needs treatment for more that suffer with it will come out willfully and seek help before it is too late.

You will still have those that are evil, but I do not believe everyone that suffers from said psycho sexual disorder is evil what i do feel is that they need help and support not scron and disdain.

Also that screen shot from the other thread was most likely some person trolling trying to get a reaction from people.

Not sure how that is defending it, remember their is a difference between having only the attraction and acting on it. Before that line is crossed they are still a human being and should be treated as such. Their should be a focus on getting the person help above all us before they cross that line.

Why would they be trolling with something so damn serious? You also jokingly told someone you were a pedo. Those consenting adults aren't right for having pedo convos like that. You said it's a game but people can still be affected by the things people say or do such as the stalking. Just because it's in game stalking doesn't mean the person because the character wouldn't feel violated. Christ, it's common sense.

Yeah that's not creepy at all. I'd report them and blacklist. Keep reporting if they send you more tells. Fine if they want to be in the same area but they need to respect other people while doing so.

So what exactly do you want to be done? Police every aspect of everyone's life? For the same reason you have people that call those that play lalafell pedos, or those that make dumb edgy jokes on social media people are weird.

Yes, I did jokingly told someone that kept calling me a pedo for playing lalafell and referred to anyone that played a lalafell as a creep. Many of us made light of a serious topic to get back at that person. Was it right? Meh idk but it was funny.

At the core maybe that is why they said it. Sure a person is behind the screen but to what extent should we go to protect the people behind the screen? Should the person that made that comment have their information released to the police by SE?

Should we have camera's in everyone's room irl to make sure no one is being harmed or abused? How else do you Police what two consenting adults do in private? Is that a world where people want to live?

Sure it is weird and not right, but it is not illgeal. I just so do not think we should go down the rabbit hole of passing judgment on people for potential harm cause we all have the potential to cause harm, and to really protect people from potential harm or uncomfortable situations we would have to establish more proactive measures which sadly are easier to abuse.

If the OP blacklisted the person the moment they felt uncomfortable they would have never gotten a chance to send them a message.

Let's be fair that is probably what the GM would have told them to BL them and move on. If they create a new character or bypass with emotes maybe then they would take further action.

Took a break from this place a few days only to see more pedophelia talk.

I just love how no matter what the topic is, it always, ALWAYS gets derailed into a fight or the Topic shifts into something else in some form or another.
And this time, its not Food XD

The blacklist system should be revamped that I agree. This situation however I don't even think is worth reporting. Just seems like a harmless lonely person with social issues.
If someone is actually stalking you in game though, my advice is to try to change your perspective. Instead of being like "oh god this person again" I think like "haha this idiot is back to waste his time". If you don't give them any attention you are literally just wasting their time.
That after reporting if needed of course.

Considering one of the main recurring trolls around here has a habit of making threads about serious topics just to get people fighting, it's not really that outlandish, unfortunately.

That person sounds like a fake troll. Just ignore them and move on!

This game attracts the most antisocial weirdos and creeps, this is not a surprise, especially with SE's history of never acting on anything, really not a surprise honestly, this is partially on SE because its widely known that they dont do anything.

Omg u look like Cassandra Goth, from the The Sims game
