Re: Gameplay sabotage
Excessive stream sniping probably fits firmly under this category.

They won't do anything. This player has been stream sniped and stalked for 10 months now with hundreds of hours of streams to prove it, yet it continues to happen:

It got so much attention lately that PC Gamer actually put out an article about it: https://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-streamer-harassed-by-stream-snipers-for-months-becomes-a-godlike-helicopter-pilot-to-take-them-all-on/
- @Adamonic streamer makes a living farming others. 'Others' squad up & team up to take him down.
How this constitutes harassment is beyond me. (I'm aware of the thread on Twitter.)
But sign of times, in woke days anything shocking people's emotions and perceived wellbeing is criminal and should be cancelled. - @TheseusJason when it is the other team trying to kill you, I have no issues with players teaming up to take you out.
However, when your team is joining in, freezing the rez so you can't respawn (while teammates and enemy teabag you), then jumping from instance to instance to find you and doing the same thing over and over is harassment. - @Adamonic Dice is to blame here.
It would've taken them no more than 10 minutes to go through some videos and see the profiles of those sad idiots who follow people from server to server just to kill them. Then issue IP ban and be done with it.

- @UP_LordPlumber "... just to kill them." And what is exactly the purpose of a FPS?... What difference does it make if it's those players or any other players?... What hypocritical nonsense. Online world really has its self-selection bias: clan-thinking at its best.
- @TheseusJason So you think that 7-10 people following a pilot from server to server as Lis just to kill them is actually ok?
I wonder how would you react if 10 people were following you each game just to hunt you down. Gameplay sabotage is when I get out of my tank to fix it and one of my teammates jumps in and drives away with me running after it.
- @UP_LordPlumber look, I get it that people become emotional when fellow streamers/hardcore players are having problems. Empathy and all that.
In the cold light of facts my point remains (and neither on Twitter or YT this has been rebutted when pointed out by others): what is the diff. in any FPS (as I said earlier) between a good player being ganged-up on by "7-10" randoms or "7-10" teamed-up players...?!...
Exactly none. This is a tempest in a teacup.
Guy (like Enders) wanted protagonism, and then cry like unweaned babies when they're hoisted by their own petard and take more than they can handle.
What is the ideal solution for this, if you were to ask me...? He creates a new username and DICE transfers his accolades, achievements, trophies and all that to the new username. Would solve all his troubles.
You know what? I'd wager that his 'stardom'-pampered self would refuse, because then he'd be anonymous. Prorities in life, eh.
