I'm being continuosly pranked - harassment?

BarianBarian Posts: 109
Over & over again by the same player, who I believe is an account created by someone from a previous co-op created for this express purpose

I've tried to send a page to Support, but it seems they are not taking any calls at present

Just wondered if this is considered harassment and whether anything can be done

Player in question is [edited, sorry ^^ | L.]. (just in case Latten can help)

Thanks

    oh? I thought there were checks in place to prevent exactly this

    I had trouble recently sending in a support ticket through the square menu in the game but succeeded through the link at the bottom of the page. Perhaps you will have more success too if you tried a different method?

    Apparently not

    And the link at the bottom of the page isn't working either

    Support appears to have gone AWOL

    So this *is* the different method

    one of my members in my co op was having the same problem as it may be quite funny to some its not to all and i think the naughty or nice should be removed as this is harassment why anyone would put such a thing in to a game makes me wonder what type of people are making this game you wont do bacon from pigs but you will allow some members to upset others by being nasty by all means be able to gift something nice but that should be it.

    click the right button on your mouse while you are in your game. all the links will come up on a little white screen. must be something wrong with your support window. I got right on it.

    I don't understand what answer you expect from the support.
    Someone spends real money on pranks not breaking rules of the game, and you for a small price of lost minutes can give your friends gifts for karma points.
    Sooner or later he will get tired of it.

    Depending on the prank and when it's played, it can result in a loss of production at a critical time during an event, task or mission. I've only had one played on me, it was during a mission and resulted in me losing the mission so lost both xp and game cash and the effort invested. I have to ask the question, was it a competing player that "played" the so called "prank"?

    I think it is a stupid idea and extremely childish, if it is to remain it should only be open to those who wish to participate.

    I'm with Volty here :/ I don't think there's much that can be done about this at this moment. I understand how annoying this might be, but, well, that's basically what the pranks are doing anyway.
    I would also say "wait until he's getting bored" for now :/

    He's just buying a bunch of karma points for you to use to gift your friends with. I'd send a thank you note each time he gifts you this way.

    THIS^^^^!!!!! You really should send them a thank you note. It does cost this person their gold every time they prank you.

    I wouldn't send a thank you note, i'd prank back once in the hope it really sets the player off and motivates them to prank you even more. I've had this happen once before and the player doing the pranking had no idea that he was basically buying me gifts (karma points) with his gold. :D

    I know him and I don't think he's going to get bored anytime soon.

    I don't suppose you care that he's doing it from a dual account either?

    Oh, of course I do :) If you like, you can send me those account details via PM. But, as others said, you're basically getting free Karma here, so think about it first ^^

    Now that I think about it while it's annoying if someone pranked me a lot, I would just be happy too because I could help my co-op members and thus further our co-op's overall progress and essentially the prankster would be paying gold to help my co-op members grow... So it seems strange anyone with a co-op or friends would hate pranks so much.

    Both sides do sound iffy and unbelievable though, I hope it all gets investigated thoroughly.

    I agree Niryn......... Pumping, you can use the Karma points you get to boost production on your members farms so that everything you lose, they make extra so you're still fine........ Now I'm not suggesting this as a 'No harm no foul forget about it solution ' because I don't know any of the facts for sure but it is something you can do for now :)

    I'm sorry guys, but I think this issue has gone as far as it can on the forums. It's up to Support now to resolve this as they have the ability to investigate and deal with any proven allegations.
