Does any of this apply to "Arche Age As a Game?
I also filed a ticket, and got the default response, and that was yesterday before this user kept it up today.
To put it as simple as possible 6 months ago I had a Guild on a server, without giving names harassing me to download 3rd party software and get on Team Speak, I Refused, and I said I don't want anything to do with your events, the person in question was trying to force people who went to Solo Events to have to get on Team Speak, without being part of the same guild as the user, or in the raid with the person as leader.
This was followed up by more harassment in chat many months ago asking a friend who has issues to end his own life.
Today the harassment continues by the user using in game methods for the sole purpose to "Grief", and "Troll" It doesn't matter if I blocked the user or users who are doing the harassment because the person targets me by using other people as proxy's for harassment. For example the guild I am currently in he "Targets the guild" by harassing the leaders, and other players and will "KOS" the entire guild unless the leaders kick me, at which point I am in a guild where they have refused to kick me, and unless I leave or get kicked he will continue to harassment other plays basically "Killing off our guild from the server" making people quit the guild and such because of it.
So basically even if I quit the Guild I am in the user will not allow me to join another as if I am accepted or when I get accepted into a new guild the user in question will start harassing other members until I am kicked or leave.
This has been going on for months now, and the user is quite aware that I just want absolutely nothing to do with them in any way, I don't want to take part in their events, or be bothered by them, now to be more specific it only seems to be one individual or a hand full that are being the problem, the rest seem to be merely puppies following commands of their commanding officers.
I understand AA is a sand-box game, and is supposed to be such and using in game actions generally shouldn't be a punish worthy offense, nor do I mind the Politics, or Religion others bring up sometimes, however being toxic in multiple ways being allowed to get away with it then continue on the same toxic behavior, and trying to command an entire server of (My way) or (KOS) something needs to be done about it to prevent this type of griefing, now I don't know if I need to cancel (Several Patron Accounts) which I have already been looking into finding a new game because of this, but as stated in other Sand-Box Games like Albion Online, & EVE this type of griefing generally doesn't happen because there are thousands of players on a single server, and you lose your gear when you die, so this type of griefing can't happen this long or on this scale, because others would step in and put the balance of power back in its place where the person no longer has control over everything.
For example EVE Online, the big alliances, this type of behavior doesn't happen, people have PVP, and Wars and take losses, but unlike (AA) as a game which I still prefer over EVE AA is more of a theme park light PVP game with the potential to do targeted harassment towards others and make the game unplayable.
There is no option to prevent such, nothing that seems to be done about it, and no way to do anything about it for example.
. Changing Name
. Can't Make a new character and start over on the same server because your Cash Shop Farms are bound to that character, as well as costumes when you got 10 +Costumes like I do on a single character.
. Only option is to Quit, or Change Pay for a server change in my case that would require selling off massive amounts of property not even getting back how much was invested, and then pay $20+ for every single character to be transferred only changing name if I make sure its changed by creating a dummy character with same name on opposite server.
As of today because of this toxic persons actions, I have had a good respectful new player to our guild leave simply because of the toxicity being drawn by the individual in question, and likely to quit the game as well a player who planned on becoming a patron too as well as a player who I was helping in game.

Targeted Harassment/Stalking - This includes any action done by a blocked player with the express intent of continuing the harassment of a player. An example of this would be getting blocked on one character and then creating a new character in order to continue the harassment of the player who had previously blocked you on your different character. Instances of this count as a major violation of our Code of Conduct.
. Perhaps the user in question isn't using this exact method however using other people as proxies to do the harassment, and keeping a user from being able to enjoy or play the game who has paid 6 months patron time across 7 accounts is a problem.
Griefing - This refers to players who do not play the game as it was intended, but instead seek to harass other players as their main focal point. This includes stalking or attempting to kill another player's character that has no means of recourse within the game. To "grief" simply means that you are trying to negatively impact the game play experience of another player. A player on the opposite faction cannot be griefed. It is perfectly acceptable to take actions in order to get a player of the opposite faction killed using whatever means possible.
. For example today the user already made it clear why he was KOS my entire guild just because he doesn't like me and was toxic in the past, today he purples and kills another person as the abyssal stone, just for the purpose of not letting them take any packs and forcing me out of the guild, or making him leave which he left the guild and told me he was sorry but he didn't want to be killed anymore a new user to AA and have to deal with this type of toxic player, (There was no point in doing this) because obviously the user who was doing this can simply get their own pack, and it proves even more that something should be done.
