I hope the internet doesn't continue to corrupt your sense of kindness and justice, people.

Use the /ignore on his character and any new ones he may create, take a screenshot of each time he harasses you. Then make a collage with all the screenshots of his harassment and make a report again with all the harassment evidence you can find. As for you getting killed, there are people dying on a daily basis. Mercilessly killed by packs of roaming 80's hardstuck at 900 in arenas that vent out their frustrations by preying on the weak. Switch zones when that happens or level through RDF.
Also I understand your frustration but calling this terrorism... It's a bit too much don't you think?
I mean by making this thread you're also baiting a lot of people that will certainly take joy out of your misery, just so they can be called terrorists later on.
It's been very difficult to write this without laughing, I'm not going to lie.
On a serious and controversial note: Welcome to 2020, where using the N-word will get you banned but ****ting on someones mother, making rape allegories, terrorism allegories and all the sorts of immoral allegories will have little to no consequences.
Good luck, but don't take it too serious, trolls are nothing new either.
The follow-up Tickets GM basically also said that in this case nothing will happen.
In future to take screenshots.
Also, you cannot write this without laughing? Do you not understand the part where we were harassed? A bit of empathy would be much appreciated. I understand perhaps 'terrorism' is much, duly noted, but don't you think targeted harassment like to this level because we are a couple is different from random mindless ganking?
You both oughta toughen up a bit. How can you be this sensitive? It's the internet, get used to it.

- Internet is the internet. We are kind and just in our lives and nothing will change this!
Because I find it hilarious that you take it so serious, not what happened. Don't you see that I find it hilarious, the gankers... They rubb their hands when they see posts like this?Quote:

Use the ignore function and move on, get the protection from a pvp guild and whenever they try to gank you, call for aid, if they're your true guildies they'll help you without hesitation. And as Thorbjörn said, this is the internet, expect all sorts of things except justice and fairness; Not only here on Warmane, but basically in its entirety; Unless you seek for shelter in the plebbit echochamber, that's the only safespace on the internet. If you want to call it safespace of course. Because I could totally write an essay so long about plebbit the server hosting the forum would collapse.
TL;DR: I understand your frustration, but the ignore function exists.
There are 6k players on average in Frostmourne, you have been unlucky to find 2 individuals with a very questionable mental sanity, which isn't a rare occurrence unfortunately. Swallow up your pride, tell your girlfriend that those incels are pathetic, focus on your careers and enjoy the time on Warmane as much as you can.

People like you are the reason griefers exist.
Heres simple thing u can do if they really harass you so strong, use win+screenshot (recommend few of them coz i dont think they will get banned by 1 insult),then go to imgur copy link,then sumbit ticket with ur topic describe ur issue and copy links of those pics in ticket.I banned so much trolls,ninjas...etc like that.
I missed the original post, but from what's said as being the follow-up reply it seems like there were screenshots lacking? GMs do take action and people can get banned for harassment, but it has to be backed by evidence and be actual harassment. Ganking isn't harassment, as the server is PvP. Some dumb whispers aren't harassment, when you can just set the player on ignore. There's an element of blatant targetting and repetition for it to be filed under harassment.
If the same player and/or his friends keep trying to circumvent the /ignore to send their stupid whispers over multiple days and characters, take screenshots and make a report, that should be enough to ground it as harassment. But it just happening a couple times and then stopping as they move on is going to be dismissed as, in the end of the day, it's people being dumb on the internet, not someone going up to your girlfriend to stalk and harass her for real, and you're expected to understand the difference.
Staff will protect you from serious offenses, but players have the means to deal with most situations themselves. This has nothing to do with senses of kidness and justice, just with you being able to handle it yourself without the need for Staff intervention, unless these players escalate it. Even in real life, if people passed some guys who started making dumb comments about their girl/boyfriend, most (reasonable ones, at least) would just brush it aside as idiocy and move on with their lives, not try to call the police.
Also, this isn't by any means encouraging that sort of behavior, as I know many would try to paint it as. Although it's <insert current year> and neutral standpoints are "literally impossible," they do in fact exist, and it's possible to not like the behavior, but not jump the gun with punishments at every minor instance that could be handled with the ever-so-handy /ignore.
thats why i said if they harass you STRONG some people would understand it wrong
Thank you for your replies, guy, I am much assured at least people like you are out there, and care enough to write advice to me.
@Obnoxious Thank you very much. Yes there was certainly blatant targeting and repetition - the entire 2-3 hours we were there, someone followed us, spammed lick/kiss on her, made multiple accounts to set on follow and spam whispers/emotes to her, and when we did /ignore, came on his level 80 Horde and killed me while his friend continued passing on disgusting whispers. No worries, I kept going, then he kept killing me over and over again, as well as the mobs in the starting area so that I could not level. Yes I could have given up and went to another race / server but I just did not wish to give up and stand down. I in fact went around as a Wisp with my gf hahah. To show the bastard he can never destroy my spirit, despite his every intention in trying. Please believe me that this wasn't some off-putting side-comment. This was targeted intention to ruin the nights of a couple.
This was certainly harassment's definition, but I understand that I lack evidence. Okay, I will take them next time this happens. I've been playing here for 3-4 months and never have I encountered this before.
@Amdus Thank you for your elaboration. I fully agree that the best methods of protection are a guild, and friends. We play on Lordaeron and once I got merely camped (nothing compared to this), I called my friends and they camped that guy in return ahah. The quickest way to justice is friends/guild. You're right that most people here are -nothing- like this, as I said for months and most people here are friendly, casual, if possible they help when possible. It was my utmost bad luck to encounter one such lifeless incel when I bring my girlfriend in. You must admit the internet is an even more hostile place for women, but honestly we must take a stand. Eventually.
Thank you, yes this game is a casual side-enjoyment for us. Consider it an overreaction but cases like this strengthen my resolve to be a Judge. To make a difference in the lives of at least some in the ****-hole country where I'm from. It just sucks when I go into my side-enjoyment, get targeted, then not believed due to lack of evidence.
No worries. Lesson learned. Get friends/guild. Swallow pride. Actually that does help. And in real life be someone for other people, something valuable like a judge.
