World of Warcraft®

In a guild my mains in there is a guildie who has been in for 1 month and a half I guess, and he added me on Real ID and Facebook and he knows I'm a young female (Teen). Now this guy is getting really weird, he says stuff like "If you weren't gay i'd be in love with you" and "You look too old for your age"

Today he /w me on Real ID and said "I had a dream about you" which I found really creepy and went offline to get an inbox him off Facebook asking me if everything was okay, this guy has also said he wants to see me in Real life.

Is this the cue to /ignore him, deleting him from Real ID and facebook as well? He tells me how he has depression, and that he has Bipolar and he cuts himself etc.

Yes, he obviously has mental issues and won't be of any good, even more, I'd say harmful. He also seems to draw attention, such people can be a huge burden and leech, I know it, avoid them.

Erm, what? " I'm a young female " If you weren't gay I'd be in love with you ".. I'm confused. ..

''Gay'' I think counts in English as a word for the sexual orientation regardless of gender.

Ah I see.. I'm still a little confused tho.

You silly girl! D: Don't add people on from MMO's on facebook! I don't mean to worry you, or judge the guy, but he sounds very stalkerish and pervy. I hope you don't have your address on facebook!
I honestly wouldn't know what to do in your position. But I'd start by telling someone close to you, a parent/guardian or sibling and ask for advice.

I've met my fair share of creeps, just block them. I once spent 5 months having highly frustrating conversations with a whining querulant who got so bad he gave me headaches and slight rage. Other people would just try to get to see me IRL and such. I bet TS will meet many more of such people and it's much more efficient to have a clear ''leech/creep policy'' for yourself. They just drain energy.

I'm sure many people have met their fair share of creeps, there are many on wow. I'm sure they don't mean to come off that way of course, but still, it does weird people out. The guy described made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up though!

People are crazy....that is all

You added someone you don't really know to RealID, you know it's meant for people you know face to face?

It was so we could get in contact for raids and stuff

I've decided, and removed him from Facebook, Real ID and ignored him. Like I said he was cutting and he told me personal things that I wasn't comfortable with (nothing serious, just about his brother and how he....died...)

Thanks for replys

squeeze him of all the gold items and enchants you can then delete him.

The only way my eyebrows could be raised any higher right now is if I was made of cartoons.

Girl, you remove him from RealID and facebook today.
You also ask your Guildboss to kick him from guild, and you put him on ignore.
And finally, report him.

If he troubles you, it means he is trouble, simple as that.

Beeing a father with teen daughters, i also recommend that you talk to your parents about this.
haha, I wish. Its good advice, but i know teens... My guess is you wont do that :-)

First of all, as a teacher, I would really advise against adding anyone to RealID that you do not know very well. If it's a real life friend, all well and good. If it's someone you know from the game, you should have known them for a good long while and, even then, only use RealID if there's a compelling reason to do so. Also, be very careful of how you use any social networking sites such as Facebook.

I would definately scrub him from all of your social links (incuding RealID) and tell your guildmaster. If it continues, I'd even report him to Blizzard for Harrassment.

just ignore him completely, any actions you might concider taking in attempt to reason with the individual will just trigger that person and encourage him/her to seek more attention (thats what they do), and for the love of police, dont disclose personal information to random internet monkeys...

Report the behaviour uncluding the comments on self harm to Blizzard and let them take the appropriate actions. Remove him from real ID and face book and then ignore him. Explain to your guild leader why you hve done this and let them make the decision on what they do their.

As cruel as some think it may sound, you are not his friend, you do not know him in the true sense of friendship, and so you need not concern yourself with the problems he said he has as they sound a tad like emotional blackmail in this situation. If he is doing that then he has no right to do so and you have everyright to protect yourself from it as it is something noone should be subjected to.

Do not do this under any circumstances. The situation is too dangerous to even consider it.

Personally, if I were in your situation, I'd try talking to him. If that doesn't help and he still won't stop, then I'd remove said person from any social networks I use. That's what I would have done anyway.

This could work in a normal situation but it sounds like this is entering the area of stalker. When it gets to that situaiton there is no talking to them, even telling them to sod off with no doubt to anyone else who may hear it they still think you don't mean it. As unbelievable as it is I have had two stalkers in my life and I know how far they can go there is effectively no reasoning with them it has to be a complete no contact situation.

He gave me a couple of Hit + Crit rating gems for free

Yeah I don't plan on seeing him in RL....

Under no circumstances should there be any further direct communication with this person.
