Hey all,
So today I'm working from home cause of snow, my kid sitting in my lap during lunchtime while I've got Wartune open (he enjoys the fights and effects) and I'm being harassed by a dude from my server cluster. Long story short, after laying into my family he then accuses me of molesting my own son. This utterly enraged me and I needed to step away. Fortunately, I took screenshots of the conversation - which was in a public channel.
I've submitted a ticket regarding this persons behavior - but I don't know what to expect to come of it. This person has continually harassed people for weeks, and for the most part we let it roll off us, but today that really hit a nerve, especially since I had to immediately remove my son from what was his "time with dad" playing Wartune. If the game's "blacklist" feature actually worked this wouldn't be an issue - but I feel this behavior goes beyond code implementation to stop it. I feel that this person is a toxic personality to the game, and should be removed.
Unfortunately I don't feel that R2 games will do anything. Call me crazy. And in light of that real possibility I might take some time away. At the very least I'll no longer be pumping $ into a game that doesn't take action against that sort of behavior.
What would you all do in this scenario? All jokes and puns aside, I'm very conflicted because I enjoy the game, but if I can't share the time with my kid when I can because of personalities like this, I don't know if it's worth playing anymore.
Thanks.
