Nope. You werent following the group, you were following your mark. And all you were doing was waiting for the opportune moment to strike, which is what your supposed to do. You cant help it that he was in a group, the group wasnt your concern, he was.

I am not worried about anything about the Jedi, he was my mission. The point that is making me wonder is that he was sent to the cloner and never came back to the group because they must have told him I was hanging around. I then followed the group around without the Jedi there, until they decided to return to their guild hall where the Jedi was waiting.

You should have left the area and continued to track your mark. Then return.

Yes, it is harassment....and if you do it enough and are reported, you will get a visit from a grumpy CSR.

it all goes to intent....by not attacking, but staying in sight, and actively following, your making it clear that your goal is to abuse the system.

Basicly...you have to ask yourself...if this was a pen and paper game, like D&D and you were siting accross the table from your opponent, with the dungeon master handling the mechanics....would you still do this? this analogy works for anything that would make you ask "Could this be considered harassment?"...or anything that would make you ask "Could this be considered an exploit?"

here are some of the consequences of been a douche:

Players quit because they don’t like the negative experience

New players don’t join because they don’t want the hassle

Ethically ambivalent players get expelled (they wouldn’t have cheated or griefed if they knew they would get caught, and since they saw someone else get away with it...).

Increased customer service support costs to deal with complaints, real and perceived

Increased in-game customer service costs

Increased technical support costs to identify threats

Increased technical support costs to counter threats

Increased technical support costs to identify & remove malicious players

Just a follow up for all the people that said it was harassment - I had a conversation with a CSR that replied to my ticket. Since I was staying away from the group andnot interfering with their gameplay, not responding to and sending messages or provoking creatures onto the group - everything I did was legitimate. The only person I had any interaction with was my target, and since I knew he was part of the group following them around was not harassing them. So if they pull this crap on me again, the group better be ready for me to follow them around.

oh well, might as well make use of this since its already here....the example of the squill cave, or any dungeon for that matter, or a city is a bit different....it's possible to blend in in a city, and people do grind and loot in dungeons, so there is a level of "cover"....but even then, If your making yourself obvious, it blows that cover....the situations I cited, and that the OP mentioned, were not in cities or in dungeons however, they were cases of a BH following a Jedi around from mission to mission in the wilds....which makes it blatently obvious.....the soloution (and I believe it is being worked on) is BH "Vis"....whereas if you have a mission on an individual as a BH, when in close proximity to your target, you will recieve tics of "vis", should you accumulate enough, the tef pops automaticly and the target is free to attack you.

Everything is harassment! "OH NOES, I HAVE A BH FOLLOWING MEH AND THE JEDI CANT COME!11 OMG HARAssmrmdtne !111!!"

Jeesh, friggin grow up. It's not harassament, the Jedi could return at any time (he didn't cause he was a wus) and he wasnt kill stealing your mobs nor sending offensive tells, so no it's not harassment.

How in the world does another guildmate DB him ? Unless they were dueling that should be the harassment. Unless the group was holding glowsticks and you were getting them vis, there is no way that that is harassment.

ok, here is my 2 cents. The jedi who had a guildie take the db was wrong. You tracked, engaged, and got the incap. Good show, you should be paid. Unfortunately some take this game to seriously and can't just take the xp hit and move on. But upon being cheated, and yes i think you were, you sat around and "hoped he would come back or that his guild would lead you to him." I dont buy it. If you had truly wanted him to come back you would have gone elsewhere on the planet andwatched him with your droids. As to the second part, why would you need the guild to lead you to him? That is what droids are for. It would appear to me that you were upset about being cheated and so you decided that if he was so worried about taking an xp hit, then you would mill around and prevent him from getting anymore. You knew he wasn't going to come back while you stood right there. IMO you are both wrong. If it were me, I would not have reported you because it would be a waste of time. None the less, what you did was kinda lame. At least I think so. Not that what I think is of great importance, but I still need 40+ posts so I can get the edit option.
