SE's inability to protect players from stalking/harassment

[Magnedeus]

That's not what she wrote in the message book and you might want to look again since you're so set on trolling this forum.

Yeah, you're not position to be calling people trolls when you're doing just that with your fake af "Stalker story". It's been proven multiple times that this is nothing but BS is and you continue to troll.

How has it been proven to be fake?

Clearly you missed the part where this stalking was not just in-game. My friend blocked this other person on all platforms and they showed up at their front door in another state two days later- but Im not supposed to be concerned about this person to then come back and stalk me, even just in-game? This went beyond ffxiv and they did nothing in-game to prevent it still-their response was just to call local authorities. It wasnt just petty stalking.

Square Enix can't handle anything that happens in real life. Once it starts becoming a problem there, you MUST contact local law enforcement. It's outside of SE authority.

That you aren't taking this to law enforcement casts doubt on your claims.

That second screenshot you provided doesn't help your claims either. I'm sorry but you're reporting for someone putting "Be nice" in a message book and admit that you don't know that the character who put it there had anything to do with the original harassment issue. Seriously? I can see why the GMs aren't doing anything. You're randomly reporting players for innocuous activities.

Again, contact local law enforcement if this has moved into the real world as you. Also, seek counseling to help you deal with this in a better fashion because it sounds like you've started jumping at everything when most of it is probably is not harassment at all. That will better prepare you to handle any genuine harassment that may continue to occur.

Nothing has been proven either way but it's not for us to be the judges, not is this the place for the OP to continue to pursue her claims. All she's done is demonstrated why SE is ignoring her reports.

This was a good read. Balmung truly is the Florida of FF14.

Look. I have no desire to argue with you but If I have an opinion I am going to voice it. I've been a member since 2013 and I have 29 posts.. most of which are in this thread because I find it THAT ridiculous. I think that spamming reports is just about the worst thing you can do, and I say that speaking as someone who works dealing with tickets like the ones you've sent.

You keep telling people in here who you disagree with that they should stay on topic or whatever.. but I have not seen a single off-topic reply. Like I said before, I don't enjoy seeing someone go through a hard time playing this game. I've been playing since 1.0. I love this game and I think we have the best community of any MMORPG. I just don't see harassment as the huge major game breaking issue you're trying to make it out to be.

That's interesting. You say you've no desire to argue...yet...here you are. If you don't see an issue then why continue to lurk this thread any more, especially after being dismissed so many times? This only proves my point that insanity can feed itself and that people with their own agenda, such as stalkers, dont necessarily need a response to keep their interest. They just enjoy the act of doing it. You've made it quite apparent that you see no issue with moderation, so you're literally being counter productive at this point...That sounds kind familiar; perhaps hypocritical. You're speculating assumption after assumption and I won't partake in it. Like, I know my truth and I really don't need to know whether you agree or not. My situation is just one out of many that occur- which after seeing how positive you've been with your responses, it's really no wonder more people don't come forward. So again, if you'd like to continue, I suggest you form your own haters club and give it a pretty name that's worthy of your cause.
This comment goes for anyone else who is enjoying their sad attempts at trolling this thread.

I couldn't agree with this statement more. If you read through the replies of this post, everyone who disagrees with OP is called a troll, accused of going "off topic", or accused of personally attacking the OP. It's a very emotionally unstable way to deal with valid criticism of a topic put forth to the public. I sincerely hope the person gets the help they clearly need.

See how she's responding with the same bot like response every time she's called out? Because she has no rebuttal for being found out that this is nothing but a joke for the sake of trolling. And as I previously stated, there is no stalker.

Although I am not against for SE in having the friends list fixed to include removal of the name on both ends, I see it as the OP simply isn't going to argue the reason's you guys are bringing up. . After all, they stated multiple times the purpose behind the thread and the reasons for the bumps. Hence the simple replies.

To put it simply, stop responding and move on to better threads.

If I was SE support and received 100 reports of "stalking" from one person, with no proof or evidence (as if there was the person would have been banned instantly, no questions asked. For someone to be stalked there needs to be a direct or indirect threat of harm to the person, which would have been picked up and banned instantly by SE), I'd think that the person making all these reports was the actual perpetrator of the harassment. Adding that person also floods forums and social media sites that the other person is likely to inhabit, kinda seems like a further intimidation tactic.

I havent been stalked in-game since making this post, and 100% SE should have done something, but has not...thus why I made this thread in the first place. Is it so wrong to advocate for changes when you feel that you've been wronged? I think not. Im not someone to waste my time, I genuinely care about people and I think its wrong that my friend and I had to endure this and I dont want to see it continue or happen to anyone else. If that means I have to take the blunt end of a sword to see some justice, so be it. I didnt expect everyone to understand, especially not after SE has ignored it. My whole point of posting in multiple threads to gain SEs attention to the issue to hopefully make a positive change to the features.

Oh stop it! A lot of people here have already picked apart your "story" and it's full of holes. Now you're just trying to throw a pity party for people gullible enough to actually believe you. The only time you're wasting is your own, and everything you've said up to this point is in a bucket that holds no water.
