Ok I go home for lunch to and fire up final fantasy to do a little nm hunting over my lunch hour figure ill Try to make enough gil to pay for my food so I can go levelling tonight.
I must applaud se for making spawn areas lager because I actually have a chance at Hawkeye nm now. So I get there and the same two people that are always there are camping it like usual and I have no problem with that a little compation is fun.
So the minute I arrive Finan gets behind me and does auto follow as I run the spawn area
The other one milca stands post by one of the more popular pop sites. As I kill stuff he stands on me or two inches in front of me. For about 20 minutes and I just ignore him. Now where they went wrong is that they did not realize this game and nm’s love me odds are if im there it will pop in front of me no idea why but they do. And guess what Hawkeye pops right in front of me and well Finan is trying to turn off auto follow I stun claim and kill it and get archers knife. Allright tonight’s food is paid for. I did not cheer or do anything to provoke him and what I got for fairly claiming and killing nm was finan auto following me for the next 40 minutes spamming crap at me not in English
Zai lai and hao bang bang and a bunch of other crap and about 50 finan examines.I just responded one time with auto translator ( I do not understand).
I have lost many nm claims and NEVER have treated someone like this.
Anyway I have never called a gm I have no idea how to call a gm or black list someone I have made it through 62 levels in this great game with out having to do either. But you try 40 minutes with some one standing on you spamming crap and you will understand why I want to learn how.
So my question is what command do I use to call a gm and then what do I do, just tell him this guy will not leave me alone.
And if I do this will someone even do anything about it?
My second questing is what commands do I use to blacklist this idiot.
I pay my money like everyone else to play this game and I spend a great deal of time helping lower level players and im pretty sure no one deserves to be harassed like this.

Ps: it will be a cold day in hell before these loser’s will stop me from fairly hunting nm’s because they think the own them. If calling gm does not help I guess ill just except the fact that I will have a little train of losers auto following me.

For GM, I believe you have to go through the help menu. However, I've only requested help from a GM once long long long ago, so I'm probably wrong.

As for blacklist... it is your friend. ^_^

/blist add "*******'s name" (without the quotes)

Unless they MPK'd you... or started spam profanity or something, the GM's will just ask you to blist them. Unfortunatley they don't do much for people being idiotic to you. Congrats on claim and drop

A way to mess with them when they auto follow you is just change your weapon back and forth, they will go off running into a wall then if they are afk, while on auto follow.

hey man :)

yah you and me farm those quite often. I know their tactics, basically dude just switch your weapon around or cast invisible tonko on yourself or what device you may have. I lose them, breakaway and claim mob. One of the HK guys that run Finan can actually be pretty cool but I think its run by 5 people, one time he just gave me a archer knife 0.o I was like uhhh thanks... And then he complimented me on my gear and ran along. Then another time I wave to him and say hi he says stuff in in engrish chinese and then says no understaaand lol. Obviously run by somethen... I can't pinpoint if they are gil-sellers or not. But the original 2 guys kept the o kotes and stuff they farmed. And then bought my byrnie haha! Anyways when they do that to me I talk to them with gibberish about the weather and distract them.

I can. Finan is one.

"Zai lai and hao bang bang" <---Thats chinese, though Im assuming the 'and' and 'bang bang' were just general words added to show how random the chinese words appear to us.

And just because theyre sometimes nice, doesnt make them not-gil-sellers. Ive been Rb2 or Rb3'ed by gil sellers (the obvious ones, Gard's, Shadena's group) at least a half dozen times, but I wont forgive them.

Eh, youre decision. Its cool that there are some nice ones who give gifts and stuff and dont simply /slap spam you, but most are jerks and try to make you feel belittled even though theyknow less than 1% of the American-born US citizens can speak their language (Mandarin).

"Zai lai" "hao bang bang" Dude, thats classic, LOL. I once told a gil seller "Ni hao ma, gwei lo." And then him and his crew began to check me. They asked where I was from and then they told me that if I ever need something, to let them know^^. LOLRZ, they think I'm chinese I guess. Now I need to learn the Goblin dialect, then I can RULE THE WORLD!! MUHAHAHAHA!!

GM's will give a warning to someone "Harassing" you. Harassin includes following you for 40 minutes, and standing right in the way. Best thing to dom is

#1 call a GM as soon as they start. The GM's will stay hidden, and witness it.

#2 as has been mentioned just invis yourself, or change weapons. They cant out on follow if invis is on, and if you dont have invis, just make a gear change macro. That will cause them to fly off in the direction they were running.

#3 /blist add finan

#4 make a macro in say that says /say Dvante casts Stun on Mobs name. I did this one time, and 5 people went running off in all different directions. It isnt even the same color, but its damn funny. Plus if you think the NM is about to spawn, just spam that macro, and clog up their window. This will make them have to concentrate on the log window, and maybe miss something.

Anyways, good luck those people can be ohh so annoying.

Thanks for all the replies lots of good idea’s I have now added him to my blist, he’s the only one it hope he feels special lol. Now that I know how to call GM ill defiantly give it a try next time got nothing to lose. I set up some equipment macro's this weekend defiantly give that a try to. He was there this weekend but 2 many other nm campers there for him to focus on me plus one person there had a macro they kept spamming at him went like this ( “name” spits in finan’s face) so I am pretty sure I am not the only one having troubles with this guy. As kriegonshive mentioned I am pretty sure he is right defiantly a bunch of different people play this character some seem to leave you alone and some do nothing but try to harass you seems to depend what time of day or night you are There. I have defiantly noticed a bunch of different playing styles being used.
Any way’s thanks again everyone.

Someone in WoW befriended their version of a gilseller and learned a few things. One of the big Chinese 'gilseller' groups is run by a guy in Canada. Also contrary to popular opinion, the 'farmers' are told to be 'nice'. The reason is obvious; regular players are more likely to cause problems with calling GMs and what not if you **** them off.

There was a big long drawn out post about this in WoW forums but the end result is that 'banning' their accounts doesn't do anything to them. They just create a new one and off they go again. They use game cards so there is no 'credit card' to block either.

What I think you encountered was the common variety ******* just from another country. Maybe 1 character is shared? I have met US players who have had to share their accounts; so it isn't unheard of.

Well icerider it seems that every thread ends up having some guy who knows everything post negative crap instead of trying to help. At anytime did the thought cross your mind that just maybe Dvante doesn’t have a game manual and that’s why he’s asking for help?


Hmmm: its always nice to see people like you take the time to post ignorant replies but not take the time to actually help. Just out of curiosity what page of your game manual tells you to make an equipment macro to break some ones auto follow off when you are being harassed? I think there is good information to be found in every post and I personally would have never thought to do that.

Thanks you everyone else for all the replies
