Exactly what happened to me. Top clan reports me for something I didn’t do, and I get all my toons banned. Watch out for this behavior. So petty.
Yeah. Just what happened. Except that there was video showing you were and are lying. So inconvenient.

Edit: that was an easy $5 :lol:

That’s great moderation bitey that’s what should happen in forum posts that could and are informational. Delete posts that are attacking one another and warn those who did it instead of hurting the whole group over bickering

You deleted it? Why? I didn’t shame them? They shamed themselves. I didn’t put those words in their mouths..or make them act in a such an amoral way. They did that. Please put that back

See the numerous other times today that mods have engaged with you to help you find the right channels to report harassment. It’s not Facebook and it’s not here. We take all accusations seriously, which is why we seriously want you to go to the right channels because otherwise support won’t see it.

This is a really touchy subject...but I'll give my 2 cents:

Boss griefing is an option in the game.

I'm sorry, but that's how it is. Bosses are designed to be a challenge, and because of that, it's easy to take advantage of. Sulis has had similar issues throughout the years, where some people decide they want to cause trouble for everyone else on the server, and it's tough, I know.

Now, if people are decent and mature, there won't be an issue of griefing...and I think most servers are at least sort of peaceful right now. However, sometimes people just want to be jerks and mess with others. There isn't really anything Support can do, unless the griefers use glitches or get way overboard on the harrasment (especially verbal).


In response to your main question: generally boss griefing is looked down on by most people. It's not worth the drama that ensues (for example, this topic).
However, sometimes there are jerks who just want to ruin the game for others. Sometimes it's nice people who got offended by something, (for example someone in clan A messes with a member of clan B while they are lixing, then some people from clan B decide to grief all of clan A for a while in retribution). When that happens, the blame falls on the clan leaders imo...for not stepping in and telling the involved people to knock it off. But I digress.

My main point is, like it or not, griefing is available in the game, but any decent person won't do it. Because it's available, Support is very limited in what they can do...they can't really ban people for what is essentially boss competition. Now, verbal harrassment is a slightly different thing, by all means report that to support, maybe they can do something.
Griefing using in game mechanics like aoe is a grey area. If it starts to become harassment then that’s where actions would be taken.
I'd say these two quotes sum it up pretty well. In terms of griefing, it can be hard to tell with just a report. Videos work best. For harassment: I suggest y'all keep a file of what is happening in and out of the game. Take it to your local authorities and PM me the pics. There's only so much we can do but we can try to make it a better environment for playing.

I'm almost positive that OTM was banning people for griefing and ksing and I believe VR Should continue to do so. As I remember, they said they didn't want anyone lowering the quality of play for someone else.
