In the past few days, I've played Infected manus normal three times. On all three occasions, this player thought it would be funny to lock the entire team out by entering the room with Ogen and stay there cloaked. One time he just kept using disco balls, another time he kept spamming me with friend requests. Every time he waits for the entire team to leave, and then, when there's just the two of us remaining, he defeats the enemies in Ogen's room.
While I'm writing this, our entire team is standing outside waiting for him to do something. I tried talking to him, explaining that he's just wasting his own time as well but I didn't get through it seems. He just literally told me to.. well I won't repeat what he said but it's not nice

This person doesn't seem to play to enjoy the game, but just to troll other people which he has been doing on every occasion I've met him. I've sent reports twice, the first one a few days ago, Support doesn't seem to do anything since he's still walking around trolling entire teams.

And that's the problem with trolls like this..... he IS enjoying his game.
(Probably having a blast that you've tried it three times, instead of just immediately bailing upon seeing him in your group.)
And I'm not angry, I tried solving things. I'm just amazed how someone can keep harrassing other players even when I've reported him twice now.
Giving his @handles is a violation of forum rules so you must not do that but Im somewhat curious who he is and why he is trolling on the lowest difficulty setting in game. Even trolls should have some troll honour or something. Think Delta Rising hit all of us.
LOL
PS: Dont get angry about him OP cuz he is not worth it. If he plays normal to go after the weakest victims he is not even a troll, he is a clown, and even a bad one at that pulling jokes that are three years old.

I've alrady placed him on ignore, but I undid that action since I wanted to figure out why he was doing these things. Besides, if I place him on ignore I won't see it if he's trying to ridicule me in front of the other team mates as he has done a few times already.
Also, it would be nice if it were possible to block invites to a private challenge from specific persons. That's feature that's much needed atm, unfortunately.
They want to have fun at the expense of others, there's nothing else to figure out. This is how they are, and nothing you do will stop them. To make things worse, STO is troll-friendly, so this is a fight you can't win at the moment.

At the expense of other people, which like technically correct is the best kind of correct, is the "best" sort of fun.
But yeah, you should use the report to GM function any time you see behavior like this.
Whether it falls on deaf ears or not, at least there's a chance that something will be done.
If you don't report him then you know nothing will be done.

I feel for you there. Anyone like this and any AFK'ers I report as soon as I get a quick break in the action. If Cryptic gets enough reports they will do something......hopefully.
For someone to do something there had to be some kind of authority in the game to begin with
STO does not employ gamemasters. Literally. There is nobody tasked with this. And if there are they better not state that since it would say more about their effectiveness than anything else.

The idiot was saying how everyone sucked and he could do the end battle all by himself because he was so awesome. No matter what other players said all he did was laugh. I remained silent. Anywaste, I forgot the exact sequence of events now, but after around 15 - 20 minutes of his trolling, "JoeCool... something" tried to do the final battle and the stupid idiot got himself killed. Two players somehow got past the cover shield that was still up to fight the boss battle and they were killed as well.
When the cover shield dropped me and the other remaining player both jump down the portal to finish the mission. The two of us killed off the remaining Undine soldiers and the Undine Boss.
Well, he's playing how he wants.
Should be amusing to see how the white knights break on this issue; I expect at least one to live up to their espoused point of view and condone the troll's behavior, while the majority put their hypocrisy on full display.
Nothing more satisfying than spoiling those smiling toothy troll grins.
Report him ingame. I was surprised, but Cryptic does actually do something about it.
This kind of behaviour is not uncommon. But I was pleasantly surprised when one well-known individual was banned first for 24 hours, then again - he hasn't been seen since.
Yep... I gotta say, though I do appreciate what Cryptic are trying to do to improve and streamline episodes, they really should be giving the same attention to many of the older STF's...
There's really no need for things like this, however, having said that, STO is not the only MMO guilty of this...
Many of WoW's instances have similar situations, where people can be locked out of an encounter, and I personally have seen people create situations very similar to the OP's, so this sort of behaviour is nothing limited to STO unfortunately...
Ok... I hate this kinda troll as much as the next guy, but this is going a bit overboard.
(If for no other reason then I'm fairly sure releasing peoples real names to the public in this way would be illegal.)

:eek: Chill, dude. This is a bit much for just a game.
