blockblack 91 Posted March 26, 2019 Someone is stalking me and trolling me, he uses his car to ram me while pressing horn which is so annoying, I ignored him but he somehow knows which server I go into so he joins me and gets his car and keep following me with it and ram me while pressing horn which makes me fail in mission because I don`t get there on time, he keeps saying I am an A**hole because I witnessed him when he had 70k and I took them all, I keep telling him witnessing is a main part of the game but he is still mad and keeps insulting me and stalking me in-game, will reporting that troll get him banned?

I'd say 2-3 years at best. but whose to say, they have improved over time and might actually take less then a year :3 @cookyPuss is right though. just get some video footage and send the files to support, its all we can really do right now since they got their hands full on other things. however the person keeps griefing other players, the higher chance the team will have to take action to stop them, be it a suspension or a ban, its all up to them.

Alani 475 Posted March 26, 2019 yeah using tiggs as a source... xd tiggs thought fairfight worked. Support is obviously undermanned and arent divided between sections, so they gotta take their time to get each report seen which always takes a bit. do what kooky cooky said and make video and send to support. then just wait. tbh i dont think the angry nerd you witnessed will be bothering you all the time anyhow. unless he in college. then he might Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartisLTU 265 Posted March 26, 2019 2-4 months to review and 2-4 months to investigate. Sad, but trolls and cheaetrs leaves APB faster than "LO" does something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uhtdred 238 Posted March 27, 2019 go to the "search" tab when pressing U in-game. And bottom right corner of the that tab there's something like "let other players search your location" or something like that. Disable that, and he won't know where you are (he will know if you're online or offline tho) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlatMan 711 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I've been reporting the same 2 players since LO took over. I would say on average 20 reports a week if they play daily. Most are in game reports, but I do send multiple screenshots with time/date/server every so often to customer support. Nearly every match they AFK, teamkill and suicide, while avoiding the mission objectives. Clearly that's not considered harassment or dethreating.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) so we need more stripper poles.... ok (saints row logic) btw realized we are off topic oops.... if a troll does it during a match then probably "not much" will happen but if he keeps doing it then possibility odds rise depending on the infractions will determine as well what happens to him.

Zolerox 564 Posted March 29, 2019 as it is right now if enough people report someone a GM appears (tested it with a group of my friends) they make the decision even if 300 people reported that 1 person won't get banned unless they are actually doing something not right. A troll (if they take it too far) will get banned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both during Saturday and Sunday there were more than 1000 players online globally at Citadel peak time around 8pm CET, according to this. Not that it matters much, though. 950, 1050, or 1200 are all very unhealthy pop-figures. Edited March 29, 2019 by AsgerLund Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
