This is going to be somewhat a rant but also be a legitimate question. Also i apologize ahead of time for the wall of text, however please do not respond unless you read the whole thing and understand the full situation. Thank You.
I was headed to a fate far away and no one was doing it literally until i was almost at the fate. there was 3 people doing it so even though i was almost there the fate was done in seconds and i was waiting for 2 hours for that fate checking on it and another one on a different map for my book quest for relics ( we all know those books are terrible grinds) I shouted for them to hold the fate around 50% and it just kept progressing as i was just a few steps from the fate it finished. I confronted them about them because i wanted to find out if all 3 of them just didn't see the chat or if they were just being rude because they didn't want to hold the fate for a few seconds (i'm not saying anyone is obligated hold a fate for someone but i've seen people hold before just for the sake of being nice) well after i confronted them to find out more about it. Instead of just saying sorry or not saying anything or even being neutral the guy instantly got salty towards me and started swearing and calling me a salty b*tchy kid. Normally i just shrug this kind of stuff off when tensions rise and simply block but this guy seemed like a complete jerk so i'm wondering if there's enough justification to get him at-least a warning from a GM by reporting him. I'm starting to get tired of bad apples on my server and it seems like the bad community is only getting worse. I kind of want to just turn into a rat and start reporting every jerk i come across. I am probably going to get a lot of negative feedback for this post because it may seem like a rant and perhaps a bit of it is, but the other part of this is a legitimate question. Should i stop letting people just be jerks and harass me and simply start hitting the report button more often in these cases?
It's just that i'm sick of people like this becoming more and more common on my server and if it takes me turning jerk and just start reporting people for every wrong thing they do then so be it. I miss when my server was a much nicer and a good community. Also i apologize if i am circling any points or things i am not so good with words and writing. Thank You.
