Dealing with Abusive People
I don't know why, but there is very little tolerance, lots of abuse and out right hate in this game. I have seen people hound some others relentlessly, calling them names, spouting hate and even death threats.
While this behavior is absolutely unacceptable "in real life" it is the norm in many online games. This type of behavior is bullying and if you are going to school you should be well informed on why this is considered bullying.
If you are an adult, well its abuse plain and simple.
Folks this is a game, its supposed to be fun. If you are mad at someone because of something they did or you think they did, perhaps you need to take a break, go get a drink, have a snack, read book, shoot some hoops, anything that is not RotMG.
For the people that are on the receiving end of the abuse you have options
If you are being abused in anyway you should first mark the abuser /ignore "insert name", if the abuse was bad and constant then create you should contact support, follow the information in this message on how to contact support. Use the heading report behavior, explain in calm and clear wording exactly what happened and why if you know the reason, attach your screen shots if you have any.
How do you know if the abuse is bad and warrants a support ticket? The first indication would be if it was happening continuously for more than a minute, I would consider that enough to send in a support ticket. Take some screen shots and attach them to the support ticket. Don't forget to make that person ignored using /ignore "insert name" there is no need to listen to this person anymore.
If some idiot is making you feel bad, and you do not wanting to play because of the abuse, then that is all the justification you require to send in a support ticket. The Deca staff will handle the situation and should / may report back to you.
