How you file a TOS violation report like this...

It's a new day, it's a new dawn.

Well, lending an account even to a family member is in itself against the ToS, but this is why you should closely monitor anyone who uses an account of yours.
Transfer, name change, everything, is the best you can do atm

You don't have to jump to Europe or Japan. There are three North American data centers. You are on Crystal so you can transfer to Aether or Primal.

Also, with giving him permission and password to my account, where in the TOS is that a violation for my own records.

Transferring, selling or sharing an account is strictly prohibited. A SQUARE ENIX account should only be accessed and used by the original user. Account information should never be given to any individual outside of your legal guardian, a minor in your care, or a SQUARE ENIX Support Center representative.

Probably prohibited for this very reason of what is happening. I wasn't planning on returning to FF because of the Corona Virus situation, I had to look for work again. And if they banned everyone sharing an account with a friend or family member, FF would drop %20 in numbers I'd imagine.

We would require a source on these numbers. I've played MMOs for 15+ years and I've never shared my account in any of them, even as a mentally underdeveloped teenager I understood that if I shared my account with someone and they intentionally or accidentally deleted an item or gear, or worse, violated a rule in the ToS I would not be able to get it back because I'd have no way of proving to the GMs who was behind the keyboard at the time.

because yea I'm being BULLIED, but I violated a TOS violation - So does this cancel out each other enough for me to transfer?

Not really. The people harrassing you are violating the ToS, so that warrants an account suspension on their accounts. You violated the ToS by sharing your account, so that warrants an account suspension on your account. Account suspension + Account suspension = 2x Account suspension. They don't cancel each other out.

On regards to your current problem, no, data center transfer will not solve your problem because we are getting free data center transfer in a few months. Whoever is bullying you can just follow you after that point. You would need both a data center transfer AND a name change and even then, seeing as how dedicated the people bullying you are, they might still track you down.

So the best thing you can do is think how in hindsight it wasn't such a good idea to break the ToS to share the account with someone immature or irresponsible enough to provoke an entire FC into harrassing him and in the meantime ignore them, since from your version of the events it seems that they've taken you for a lolcow, so they'll eventually get bored.

Honestly once you black list them all what can they really do? If they follow you around emoting. Report them. If they makes alts with which to harass you, report them. And simply keep reporting these instances until they end up banned. I would never let myself be run off my own server because some people think they can bully me out of it. Make sure you have timestamps on in your chat to make is easier when you are reporting these things.

That doesn't work that well currently because now we have trial accounts. The people harrassing her can just make new trial accounts over and over without ever compromising their main accounts.

[Sotaris]

First of all, yourself broke the TOS by sharing the account.

As for your in-game problem, there isn't a thing such as "stealing" a character identity. The character creation is pretty limited but you can always change name.

That's a lot of effort. Sad people do sad things I spose. But if they initially did all this bullying on their mains, which I would bet they did. I would say still to report those main characters. I just hope OP thought to take some screenies to remember dates and what was all said.

Regardless, Novice Network is easily avoided and so is say chat etc. I have a chat box purely for party and fc chat for example. If they want to follow OP about I say let them waste their time and carry on your merry way. Better to show them that you could care less what they do, than move server and let them feel good about chasing you off. They won't keep it up forever.

I had an individual and his FC members harassing me for hours at a housing placard the other day. Emote spam, trade requests, mount on placard etc. I just put in a ticket and updated it as the night went on. The person even used his emotes to do his best imitation of a Nazi salute.. le sigh. Setting myself on busy put a stop to the trade requests. And more fool them, so busy were they at harassing they missed the house anyway xD

If it's anything like other MMOs, don't even need to give it to SE, they can log you in without it
