Enticing enraged players to violate rules

[Eredu]

Something I recently noticed with S-rank hunts is that a small group of vermin on my datacenter seem to try to enrage other players into doing something that breaks the terms (mostly using F and R words in /shout) by insta pulling everything they can and then shouting out each other by name to make sure the hate is pointed at them. I also know of two players who recieved warnings on their account so the vermin definitely report anyone they can.

I asked support about this behaviour and just got the macro answer back that it's not against the rules to insta-pull (completely ignoring my question) and pointing me to this forum to post suggestions (ha ha ha).

I have given up on S-E to actually fix hunting but I wonder if this kind of behaviour is new or just more visible with the cross-world travel?

It's not new. There were early/instant pullers even before cross world. It's just more visible because the small handful of players engaging in it can jump world to world easily to upset more players and get attention from doing it.

The best defense is to not react to it and to encourage others not to react to it either. Most of those doing it do it for the negative attention it garners. When they stop getting that attention, they get bored and move onto other things.

Reported them for the wrong thing my freind. That constitutes two violations according to the new ToS Harassment and messing with others gameplay.

My mistake was probably mentioning S-rank hunting in the ticket.

I actually asked support about the shouts they did afterwards not about the insta-pulling itself, still only got the standard macro response.

Well they gotta do something about it eventually because that little cluster of palyers ruining it for all or many or those engaged into it, is getting really frustrated and annoyed by these people that do early pull on purpose of giving others a bad game experience over and over again, and it is a fact and tendency currently going on, we see it a lot on Zodiark (light) right now.
