People should not put up with discrimination, though. Things like racism, sexism etc lead to much more than just "hurt feelings". Of course, harassment in games is only a small part of a big problem, but it doesn't mean that it's not a problem at all.

I have delt with people making fun of me for physical imperfections for over 30 years. I learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with it, was to ignore their commentary...because what they were saying was not true, it was just being said to be hurtful. I stop letting it hurt me and life is better.
The biggest change any person can do to the world, is change themselves.

These people aren't usually in guilds because they would have been kicked for their behaviour so they take to zone for their social interactions. Reporting them is really all you can do then switch zones after reporting or turn off the chat hub temporarily.
Why post it on the forums?
Reporting and blocking was enough, you don't have to make this public.

Thankfully you didn't name and shame them and get this thread deleted. While I admire your restraint in not speaking to them, bringing it up in the forums is just giving them the power they craved. If they see the post they will know they achieved their goal of getting under your skin. [snips]
So it’s wrong to inform people of the problem and wrong to try to get the attention of ZOS so they will fix it? Hmmm. Can’t say I agree with you there. It’s important to discuss issues like this so people know what to watch out for and people who have experienced similar things know they aren’t alone.
Edit: Also, you do realize this goes way beyond “being mean” right? Based on OP’s description, this sounds like legit hate speech meant to intimidate and degrade. So yeah, I don’t blame her for being upset.
[snip] I only pointed out that she gave the trolls what they wanted. A reaction that they can see clearly on the forums. That's just a simple fact. She can do with it as she likes.
