Player disrupting the game environment

So I'm fishing in Dalaran, in the fountain, and a very well known troll/griefer hops in the fountain on his/her enormous elephant and proceeds to block my, and a few other peoples, bobber. So I recast my line into a new place and lo and behold he walks over and parks right on top of my bobber. This happens two more times and I finally ask if he could get out of the fountain so people could fish, no dice. I cast a few more times around him to try and fish some more and he simply walks over and blocks my bobber again.

I put in a ticket about this but the wait times are so long. In the meantime he continues to harass people in trade chat and yes, prevent players from fishing as well. Now I could simply fish somewhere else, yes, however you can only catch the coins for the achievements in that specific fountain. I would like to ask and see if someone could look into this for me and perhaps take some kind of action. It's one thing to be obnoxious and annoy people but to completely interfere with a game mechanic is just downright frustrating.

On top of that his name is offensive to boot. His name is <removed for blues> and his shenanigans are taking place in Dalaran on the Dragonblight server.

Placing a petition is the best course of action, Methius. Those of us who post here are not Game Masters, and are unable to address these issues directly. We are mostly here to provide insight and advice on these situations.

I do appreciate your concern, and commend you for reporting these kinds of situations. I ask only that you remain patient while our Game Masters address your issue as soon as they are able. =)

Q u o t e:
Your bold tag seems to be broken.

Please, let us not do bold for everything?


While a bit of an irritant to the eye, posting all in bold isn't against our policies. Though, it would be appreciated if it were avoided, as many may have trouble focusing on the text and it could dissuade others from reading your posts or responding to them.
