WoW GM team's quality was highly variable, in my experience. Like I said in the other thread I played WoW for 10 years and obviously I reported a few separate instances of harassment in those years, many of which were for disrupting RP.
Responses varied from "they're not doing anything wrong" and "there's nothing we can do"... to "we'll look into it" (harasser mysteriously disappears from game for 3 weeks) and, like Virella's experience above, GMs not only dealing with the harasser but also in-character attending the RP event I was holding. I can remember at least three separate instances where a GM had come down to my RP event to join in.
In the end, I got into the habit of reporting an incident again if nothing happened the first time. If GM quality was going to be a lottery, then nothing was stopping me from getting multiple tickets.
