I am disappointed in Blizzard (Harassment)

I don't really post on the forums, but when i do i make sure it's a valid point. This thread isn't for me to prance around say look at me, look at me i'm a girl please carry me through content. This thread is to explain how Blizzard has failed me as a paying customer and has really made me consider quitting something that i love to play for fun.

Anyways.. my name's Kate, i play a Rogue on Tichondrius. I PvE and i PvP. I have friends and i have enemies in this game, everyone does. But for the last year i've been constantly harassed, constantly abused via social networking and constantly had nothing but ill words spoken about me. I have made countless tickets, i have used your ignore feature (which is absoloutely terrible) and i have renamed my character to get away from it.

This game used to be fun for me, but it's not longer fun because people in this game are affecting my life outside of WoW.

For the past few months i've dealt with:

- My IRL pictures being posted in general trade (which someone found on my facebook)
- My skype information being posted in trade
- Friends of mine's addresses and personal information

As i have said, i have reported everything that i can. But NOTHING has been done. When a report is placed MULTIPLE times against a person it needs to be addressed or even looked at seriously. This game is meant to be fun and for me it's just hell. The only reason i even log on anymore is so i don't let my guild down.

I bet someone posts: It's your own fault you probably gave your information out. But this is completely false i NEVER give my facebook out, i NEVER give my skype out unless i'm doing arena which has no link to any of my other accounts and i NEVER draw attention to myself.

Blizzard i really hope you can do something, i'm sorry for posting in your general forums but enough is enough. I love this game and i would hate to quit because of a few sour g#!*!s in the community.

Since I'm just not seeing this history on this account - one of two things are probably happening.

You are either submitting these on another account - or you aren't putting in petitions and using Report Spam/Player instead. That will NOT help in a harassment situation (at least at this time) - you need to be submitting petitions each and every time an incident occurs.

Folks, I'm locking this down - this really isn't a good subject for debate.

As I posted above, a petition is needed for us to look into harassment at this time. While Report Player (used to be Spam) has benefits - temporarily ignoring the entire account being one, it's not the way to have something like this looked into.
