In Game Stalkers

[Vhailor]

On a somewhat related note, SE should really consider bringing back FFXI's /anon command. It should be extended to mask all of your character levels, and there should be a version available on the Lodestone as well. I see no reason for forcing this information to be public.

Somebody tried to cyberbully me once on a previous game, not only did this guy stalk what ever world I went on, but also got his friends to help out as well with the cyberbullying. The most you can do is report, blacklist, and try not to take it to heart. These are sad people who don't have anything better to do, and aren't worth your time.

I would report the individual that is stalking you, as well as blacklist them so that they are prevented from contacting you in-game via /tell; joining Party Finders set up by you (sadly, this won’t prevent random matching via Duty Finder though); and you won’t see /say, /shout, /yell, or any /party or /ls messages from them either. If they get enough harassment reports, their account can be perma-banned from the game so long as there is enough evidence for the GMs to take action (chat log harassment is the best kind of evidence for this). I would advise that you also have friends reporting them as well if they witness chat log harassment, because if you have them blacklisted you obviously cannot see what they’re saying. GMs can pull up all chat logs at any time and see what you cannot, but multiple reports from yourself and friends can help get a report in faster.

This doesn’t prevent this person from making a new account, but if the new one is linked to their old one, it’s another automatic ban from circumventing a prior ban. Plus, them having to spend money on the base game(s) plus subscription can (hopefully) prevent them from returning.

There is no way for you to hide your Lodestone, sadly. If they have your character ID, they can continue to track you for as long as they want. Only way around it is to delete your main character, or start over again on an alt (and we’d rather not have that, I’m sure).

Consider it a compliment your being mimic'd. Get on/move on. Like it or not anyone and everyone is free to glamour as they see fit.
If you wan't to be a real annoyance..start dropping fantasia potions...kind of forces the issue lol. (Yes your spending money but it would be funny as its forcing them to do the same as well)

Considering the OP’s circumstances, I can’t fault them for not feeling flattered by the imitation. People who are stalked can have stalkers that imitate everything about them, and quite frankly, it’s far more unsettling than flattering.

You can only report them (and blacklist them but that wont stop them from still having you on their list thus being able to see if you change your name, where you are and more) but I am not sure if that will help much. Maybe I was just unlucky but I was bullied by someone ingame that was once in my old FC..he would stalk me, emote me, write to me and the worst: Write to others in our FC (even when that person was not part of it anymore) to talk badly about me..this created quite the conflict but thankfully those people came to me and told me about it..I reported that person..and yet they are still playing, still going from FC to FC, still creating drama and even managed to make two people change servers..

Edit: Good to see that you have already gotten lots of good advise and that you are trying to follow them. Hopefully that person will leave you alone and will grow bored of you. I at least just try to ignore the person as much as possible because any reaction could just lead to another starting conflict.

Why is it always the pretty blonde white mages that suffer the most =/

Sighs, I get stalked now and then too apparently. Have this obsessed midlander woman constantly asking me where I am ingame and to come to her place in Mist for some "Extra Activity".

Apparently made my guy too well, and she aint the only one who flirts with my pixels. =/ bah.

Unfortunately, if you want to prevent them from viewing your Lodestone, you may have to change characters all together. Even if you were to change your character's name, they'll be searchable on Google or by their Lodestone ID.


Best of luck to you.

[Final-Fantasy]

I would ignore them, blacklist for sure, changing worlds would solve nothing, if anything it would show your stalker that they are having a real affect on you and that will only prolong it.

[ElazulHP]

Block and report. If that doesn't work and the harassment is serious like someone threatening you or you fear for your life file a police report get the incident number to the police report and file another report with Square giving them the police report information. Alternatively, if it is super serious get a restraining order through a lawyer who will contact Square whom will be legally obligated to divulge the real life identity of the person involved. Then if they still won't leave you alone they can get jail time.

I know the OP already got what they were looking for but I want to add to this:

Unfortunately, if you want to prevent them from viewing your Lodestone, you may have to change characters all together. Even if you were to change your character's name, they'll be searchable on Google or by their Lodestone ID.

Google searching a character can also bring up forum posts if that character is set as the forum avatar. The forum profile can show every existing character on the same account, although I don't remember if the default setting is to hide or to show them. If you want to hide a new character from stalkers you need to make sure that the new character is set to invisible in your forum profile ("Edit Character" menu -> click on the character so it goes gray). Only the character set as the main character or your "forum face" cannot be hidden.
