    2nd You forgot to edit out the name of the other player that was harassing in the first place.
    My name is the only one visible. and if you think me asking someone to attack the same target then after 10+ mins of that player not attacking anything asking if he will afk the other half of it. and purposefully pulling groups to wipe us is bad then guess i'm a awful human being.

    I asked if there is another way besides reporting to GM because that in my experience never solves anything and the player goes unpunished and gets to repeat the same behaviour.

    Hang on a minute. How do YOU know creeps you report in Duty Finder never get punished? You are almost guaranteed to never see them again, whether they're punished or not! Honestly, this is a textbook case of abusive behavior and language. It's all right there in the chat; there are many ways that players can harass in a way that is hard to prove to a GM, but this was not one of them! If this was this guy's first offense, certainly he might get off with just a warning - but this would at least start his record, so that the next time he engages in such douchbaggery, he'll have a history...

    Even if you're cynical enough to believe that GMs are useless though, you can't possibly imagine that your argument was any better. The guy you ran into was a jerk - but reacting the way that you did pretty much just fed his ego. He wasn't chastised, or even angry - though I'll bet that he was deeply, deeply amused that you were angry.

    Kick, then report to GM. That was the way to go. And if it turns out that both of the others are his buddies and the kick doesn't go through, drop from the instance. Better to eat the 30 minute penalty than to put up with that kind of abuse.
