I have seen many In-Game bullying
this occasion often occurs on newbie player cities(other than 1k,dreamweaver,archosaur)
this once happened to me when i was a lv30,as a seeker
a pair of coupled high lvls came to tellus city,and picked every noobs there and spammed them over,bullying them off,which i think this is what caused many low leveled kids quitted because of bullied in-game(i know it sound insane)
as im 90 now and i still wanted to see them as i remember last time i see they were using 70ish gears
but seems like this still happens in many major cities
i reported them when the first time seeing them threathening others in this way
but still no hope,still got no replies from GMs for almost 3 months

    Lol I don't think I would let my kids play this game if I had any, no way.
    If you're not able to deal with ppl trash tlking, you're better off quiting this game now. What do you consider bullying behind a pixel game? Lol.



    Blacklist am pretty sure was created for this particular reason. Use it well, you don't need to cash shop to have this op setting !

    Just ignore them, the less attention bullies get the more likely they get bored and stop, this goes for both real life and ingame
    Besides its much easier to ignore them ingame then in real life, since all they can really do is sending you annoying messages in major cities and you can blacklist them, that should solve the entire problem

    I agree people shouldn't bully but hell it will always happen and PWE doesn't maintain their game even remotely decent so best you can do is just ignoring these people which is as I pointed out not that hard

    lol, they're just kiddies who are treated like **** IRL, so they take it out on anyone they meet online.

    Just keep in mind that you're better than they are. It might be hard to do in the heat of being flamed by them, but it's true.

    It's just a game. And to be honest, all of these people who think they're "popular", "cool" or in general better than anyone else in a game just seem sad and pathetic to me. I mean, how lame their real life must be that the only place they feel they have power or worth is online. I'm all for making friends in the game but anyone that tries to make others feel bad for no reason or "trolls" just deserve pity. If anyone does it to you, just move on with your day. They aren't worth enough to actually bother you.

    lol there's a few ways i handle these types of people. lets just say they dont harass people anymore. as a good friend of mine named them, these are nothing but a bunch of keyboard warriors. besides, they most likely wouldnt dare say these things irl (or at least if you looked like my build, youd perhaps think twice) so take what they say with a grain of salt and report them if you dont think you can or want to handle it yourself.

    @ Aizza:

    I prefer doing that irl as well. never hit a woman around me >:O * goes lusty hulk mode*
    i hate when people think they seem to have a god given immunity to any sort of rules or stipulations. i just..."kindly"...remind that guy that hitting women = a big nono. b:laugh

    also just wanted to point out, some of the "popular" or "cool" people dont ask for these labels. granted, the majority are ***.holes, but there's also a thing called being charismatic. (remember subjectivity and how everything can be the opposite ;D) so its probably not right to label them just as how you wouldnt wanna be labeled a no life for x reasons. ;x but agreed with the latter part of your message ^^

    I was referring to people who think of themselves as popular, which is why I worded it the way that I did. I have more than a few friends in the game, but do I consider myself to be particularly popular? Nope. Just someone who has friends, people to talk to and game with. There is an obvious difference between people who have friends and people who think they're popular when all they really do is use other people to inflate their own otherwise depleted ego and sense of self-worth.

    Y'know, all you guys saying "it's a game"... well I kinda agree. I mean, it's a game. On the other hand, doesn't mean it should be excused as a right to harrass other players. I'm the kinda player who BLs if I get too annoyed (has happened what, once?) but being followed and spawncamped would not sit well with me.

    If anything I'd hop on another character for a couple minutes and then relog on my mains. Now they REALLY wait until you log back... then they're the ones with the problem and I'd just find it sad.

    The weird thing is, I HAVE had that happen to me before. o_o I was playing on my old sin and doing the 2x quests outside of Arch, when this other sin comes up and tries to squad me. I don't remember why I didn't squad him, maybe because I was almost done? don't remember. I think it was so I could get the most exp/drops, I'm greedy. xD Well anyway, he proceeds to "try" to kill all the mobs I'm killing, even though he was wearing arcane armour, so he obviously wasn't hitting that hard. >_> He did this for awhile and I decided to just afk for a bit and clean. About an hour later, I come back to quest some more and there he is.. waiting for me. He proceeds to start trying to kill steal me again. How sad.

    ...(or hitting children other than minor behavior modification (spanking)), that's even worse...

    The world (iRL) needs more people with your integrity. Kudos!

    I've had someone stalk me in game before. From his main and all of his alts, then he got his family to do the same. He would pretend to be other people and join my guild from alts he made, have his sister do the same thing and try and get into contact with my officers. It got to the point where my black list was maxed out. Know what I did? Deleted everyone from my black list and started over again.

    If someone wants to waste their day trying to bother you, let them. But it doesn't have to ruin your day. Again, I just feel sad for him that he has nothing better to do with his time than create new accounts to try and bother me from. He spends all that time making the account, making the character, "Infiltrating" my guild just for me to recognize his typing pattern/behavior and have him booted and blocked within three minutes.
