this just happend to me


http://www.wow-europe.com/en/policy/harassmentp2.html#d


well it all begun with that i pointed out and player that was offring acc trading

he wrote this in swedish in short he said i have an friend that has an lvl65 UD mage and he wants an lvl 53+ write to me for more info so this is all he wrote


so i stated soem of the rules and that he is comprimisng acc security and its against blizzards gamin policy and that this can be way to scam ppl and take thier accs ETC


then he started to threath me all this is typed in swedish ofc

he said I know ur IP adres now mate just so you know if anything happens to my account or to my friends account BE aware

then he said just wait and se

and then he said if nothing happens you dont have to worry


and i was and i am polite all the time

wel lthen i told him that threating me like that is not good and i could report him for this and even make an report to the police


then he talked alot and keept going on with hes threats

and responded normaly al lthe time and stated some gaming r ules and how to behave ETC

then e somhow noticed that iwasnt bullS hiting him and he started to behave liek an lamb and said that he was sorry and everything but don is done the threats have ben said

so i wish that this player at least gets an warning and infomed on how to behave and not to behave in game


and time made the first post about acc trading was around 3:41PM Today

Hi Tazara,

This is an issue which you should report to us in-game. We do view real-life threats such as this as a form of harassment, and if proven the reported player will face action against their account in accordance with our behaviour and harassment policies.

On a side note, I can assure you that your personal information, such as your IP address, is completely secure, and it is not possible for a player to "know ur IP adress" from what you have said in-game. :)

Thanks,

Issuntril

Q u o t e:

What kind of punishment would you give a player who would threat to kill someone irl? Ban and maybe inform the cops or?


Any player found to have made a real life threat against another player will certainly face action on their account, and this action will usually include at least a temporary supension. We would generally not contact the police however - As I have said in the past, if any player feels genuinely in danger from another individual, they should contact their local police force themselves.

I hope this answers your questions. :)
