Not really, it depends on how much they are doing it. If someone is following you around and constantly throwing them, maybe you could, but if it's just someone on fleet randomly throwing them, probably not.

Few player were follow me on the game but did report them

Don't mean to sound blunt and non-understanding.... just the way reality is.i just got a email in game by bioware and say going to deal with this player

HEy man I jsut got a ingame messege say going to check thisout

Another reality check: People in CS conveniently tell you they will deal with the player because the game Privacy policy conveniently disables them from sharing any information on the penality received by any player other than yourself. Basically, they told you to calm down in a BW way..... Also, am I the only who thinks that getting told '' to go f... myself'' in any game or the internet is completly irrelevent and doesn't even deserve any attention. Death threats, sexual harrassment, attacks on your identity etc. sure. Getting insulted that lightly by some guy on the internet is barely worth the attention.......

Also, just for info, if they do give away a penality, it will prob just be a 24 hr chat ban.

Reporting people for throwing snowballs? And people wonder why reports of actual problems don't get addressed?

When a player follows you around and is constantly throwing snowballs at you and its not during the Life Day event that is considered harassment. Throwing one or two is not but after 10 or 20 min of continuously being pelted with snowballs that becomes a PITA. During Life Day you simply have to deal with it. Any other time You Don't.

How did you make it through high school? Are you the same person that hates “being forced to dance” via galactic party bomb?

Anyway, if your plan was to hijack this nonsensical thread from the OP, you have succeeded.

There is more than one player who does not like your 'fun' things like party bombs that force their character to do things (I am one of them). This is part of the large category of things like snowballs that you cannot opt out of.

Following a player around and doing ANYTHING that disrupts their game is harrassement. Snowballs during life day are going to happen. The polite thing to do is either only shoot NPCs, or only shoot a fellow player once. Although even during life day you do not have the right to follow a stranger around and keep throwing snowballs at them without permission.

The thread was not derailed, btw. The OP was worried about being falsely reported (a form of harassment) and a discussion of what you can do when you are harassed is on-topic.

Not to mention, it was the OP who brought up the snowballs, in the first place

Same as with people reporting for getting infected with raks

How to Break Out of a Victim Mentality

Are you worried that you'll end up on a lot of ignore lists or something? You seem to be going out of your way to support players who like being annoying jerks in the game.

Did someone actually do that to you? Or just rant about it in general?

I don't understand how the Life Day event and snowballs can be so annoying to someone. It's harmless fun.

People are different and have different responses to things. Are you able to understand that?

Just because YOU don't mind something, doesn't mean that everyone should think they way you do, or that they are wrong.

Although, is it really that hard to understand that having someone follow you around while you are on a class quest, just to throw snowballs at you, is not fun, but harassment?

(full disclosure: I have not had anyone bother me enough yet to report them. The worst I have had is a couple of weirdos that kept spamming duel invites at me, but swapping instances got rid of them. If someone actually followed me when I swapped instances to get away from them, then yes, they would get reported.)

You got me, it was a rant in gen fleet chat, but I was grinding for that 1k infections achievement so I was part of the ''issue''

I can’t imagine what sort of frail person would be bothered by snowballs in a video game to the point of feeling harassed. Maybe I am out of touch from facing actual RL challenges.
