World of Darkness - Trolling Behavior - Stop It

[Lycelle]

It seriously needs to stop. I've gone into WoD 5 times already over getting the same bad eggs every run. The early pulling the name calling, the overall immaturity. It seriously needs to end. Why do people insist on ruining it for others? Plus another thing that sucks is the Vote Kick. It doesn't lock someone who is harassing you OUT so they can just queue back into the instance and do it all over again. We had a DPS get kicked out of our party because he kept pulling mobs early and locking 2/3 of the raid out, he would then laugh about it. Why do people feel the need to do this? Sure it's funny if you're running a 24 man FC or LS WoD run and you're among friends who don't care, but when you're doing it with other people who are there to get their loot for the week and are there for their own progression, don't make it a nightmare.

I don't know where this troll behavior first started but it's been ruining the game to the point of where myself and my wife both had to leave a WoD run because we couldn't get through Dark Cloud because the SAME person came into the instance 4 different times. How they did it is beyond me, but if you're going to do this kind of crap to people then you seriously need to drop your sub and go find another F2P game to harass.

While I agree with you, your reaction in your post is exactly why they do it. In their own twisted head, they get pleasure out of seeing other people get angry. There's nothing you can really do other than try not to let it show that it bothers you. When they don't get the reaction they want, they will usually give up for a while.

If he kept pulling early you all could have stepped out of the barrier and let him die.

If he was verbally harassing, you could have blacklisted or ignored him.

In-game tools, use them.

doesnt stop them from getting into said same run and keep doing that.

1. You can't blacklist while in a raid.

2. Kinda hard to do that when half the raid is already there, but the other half suddenly shouts. We engage and think everyone is there due to the ready check going off.

Intelligence. Use it.

Which is why I said ignore in the event you can't BL.

That would be a valid excuse if it was a first time thing but you claim he's consistently pulling early. The raid should be able to comprehend what's going on ironically if intelligent, back out, and let him die.

Verbal harassment can be reported to the GMs. Next time a player actually harasses you or another player or a group of players report them for harassment. As soon as people start spouting abuse like that you have the grounds to report them and Square has the grounds to punish them.

Report them. If no one does then they'll keep on doing it.

Exactly, report them.. They do it because they get away with it.
People in a instance like WoD think they are anonymous and no one can tell who they are. You cant see the FC or tell what server they are from so they think you can not figure out who they are.
Well you can look their name up on loadstone and tell exactly who they are. It will tell the Server, their FC and all their info.. They are not anonymous at all..

Also this happens every time there is a major new patch, after a few weeks once they finish the content the trolls leave and go to where ever they go and it settles down.
Most of them are those that just come back for the new content and dont take the game seriously.

There must be something about the 24-man raids that really attracts trolls. Think about it. They can mess with 23 others in one shot! So much troll goodness.

I've been seeing this a lot, especially in CT - LotA
