How to stop a stalker?

[Titor]

Question is what did you do to cause him to be this clingy, I mean you just don't join and stand in one spot or not say anything for him to stalk you.

If nothing is done switch servers or buy a fantasia and ask for a name change.

They should not have to change servers or anything. The other person should be banned, it should not be on the victim to spend money or change their server or appearance or names if they like them.

Not getting the full story.

In FFXI ive seen dudes fork over loads of gil to chicks then chicks dump them when they run dry and claim they are being stalked.
Even getting help through game and getting promises to them and then disappear and guys go looking for them because of those promises.

Someone don't stalk for no reason unless something happened, like I said you just don't join shell and guy goes banana's over a girl character that looks like all the rest.

if they are telling the truth, then the guy is crazy but that's hard to believe when every model in game is the same or they let them know they were a girl in real life or gave some reason.

I have seen people jump servers, quit and even make post about how they were used and followed the person telling them sorry and they GM them.

Don't wanna give name because why? so someone dont get the other side of the story.

Everything else you said aside (showing nothing but your callousness towards, and stereotyping of the situation), they didn't want to give the name because doing so could get them banned from the forums on a temp or permanent basis.

May want to look up SE forum rules before assuming some did something for a reason you find nefarious (in this case for calling individuals out by name).

Doesn't matter, it's hard to believe.

I ain't doing something you guys are all doing, jumping the gun on someone who you guys already branded a stalker without knowing who the person is or getting the other half of the story.

Unless you know this is true, which you do not. don't brand someone if you don't know the whole story.

If you go read some of the links that were provided by the OP you can see that this person has some issues and that the OP's claims hold some weight.

Based on the lodestone blog and other posts I personally think the stalker in question does indeed have some screws loose; even if you don't consider the stalking claims.

It's true, we're not. But following someone around being a pest is never really justified.

While this probably happens sometimes, it's an anecdotal example and is symptomatic of a different problem which can be verified through chat logs by a GM.

Someone don't stalk for no reason unless something happened, like I said you just don't join shell and guy goes banana's over a girl character that looks like all the rest.

Many stalkers suffer from profound mental illness that can give root to obsession with little or no catalyst or basis.

if they are telling the truth, then the guy is crazy but that's hard to believe when every model in game is the same or they let them know they were a girl in real life or gave some reason.

The focus of obsession can be many different things not just the physical beauty of one's character model. You're really pigeonholing the situation.

I have seen people jump servers, quit and even make post about how they were used and followed the person telling them sorry and they GM them.

Anecdotal again, this is not necessarily what happens in every scenario.

Don't wanna give name because why? so someone dont get the other side of the story.

As someone pointed out to you they don't want to name and shame on the forums as they can get in trouble for that. If you do just a little bit of research you can figure out who is being talked about.

And the long and the short of it is yes, we dont have the full story so you should keep the victim shaming and generalizations of the situation to yourself.

If this is how you feel, then this topic should of never been created.

Such astounding ignorance.

Quite literally, people don't stalk other people for absolutely "no reason" but that does not necessarily mean that the reason is a mutual circumstance ("something happened") between the victim and the stalker.

Perhaps the stalker favored a particular name, maybe they saw the victim talking in public and established some kind of attachment towards the victim, maybe they were in the same party.............. infinite possibilities.
