Is Spamming a Skill, to Skill Up Skills, Harrassment?

Yeah, I guess so. I am still in shock that anyone complained. I have been on Blue for years and years and now on Green/Teal and have done this same exact thing countless times. No one ever complained. This one time I get petitioned and the Guide/GM bowed down to this baby and moved me. Bad precedent set. Spamming spells (for skill ups) is a VERY important part of the game.

The guide did the right thing. You can spam spells literally anywhere except that tunnel. You can auction things out to the right, along the wall from Freeport. There is no problem here.

I also got moved to the abscond point one time when I and a couple others were playing around with spell effects such as bard songs and fireworks. I chuckled and stopped.

One problem is, it can lag people out and cause them to disconnect.

"I want to spam my spells in the most populated area in the game and be that guy and no one can make me move, even slightly outside/above tunnel because reasons."

"I'm so annoyed at guy above me spamming but am unwilling to move 20 feet back in the tunnel to immediately eliminate my problem because reasons. MOM!"

Think that about sums it up, yeah?

Except the only guy with an "actual problem" can easy solve it himself by moving themselves or turning their sound off/down. Now he's gonna waste staff persons time on top for this petty shit. By the time this baby petitioned they could have turned down their sound 10 times over.

It's unfortunate, but obviously multiple people were being bothered by it. Sure, according to OP only two sent him tells, and while that's still more than one person, there is likely more people being bothered or annoyed that aren't speaking up about it.

The easier solution for everyone in this situation is, like has already been said, just go skill up outside the tunnel on the wall a little bit towards Freeport so people in the tunnel don't have to see the deluge of messages. You don't have to be in the tunnel proper to auction. All this requires is OP/person spamming to skill up be a little considerate instead of obstinate and uncaring.

This "me, me, me" mentality is the issue. This issue goes far beyond this situation as well.

I had been in that spot for a while (skilling up Divination/seling) before this guy came along without anyone voicing any objections. I have done this many, many times before in the same spot without anyone voicing any objections. This guy comes along and has a problem with it. But, instead of taking actions (for himself) to fix his problems/annoyances he wanted me to take actions to fix HIS annoyance/problem.

Here's how it should have gone (which I have done myself more than once not just in game, but IRL):

1.Person walks into a situation that they have a problem with or are annoyed with.
2.Person takes their own actions to fix said problems/annoyances instead of demanding others in the situation, that was going on before they got there (where no one else was annoyed or had problems), take actions to accommodate their annoyances.

That is how any normal thinking person would have handled it.

Only 1 other person had a problem with it, and stated so in /say, after the first person made it an issue. None of this was in tells. The originator of the issue took it to /ooc to get more people on his side (I assume that was his reasoning behind taking it to /ooc, anyway). I asked him to send me tells and keep it out of /ooc to avoid disrupting /ooc for the rest of the zone. He did not. Kept on complaining in /ooc.

The hilariously delicious irony dripping from your post is unreal, this must be a master class in trolling.

We're you spamming the spell SENTINEL by any chance?

Lol, the response to someone politely asking was to literally just ignore them.

What an asshole.

Yeah, if I'd sent him a polite tell and got ignored like that, I'd petition out of spite at that point, because f that guy.
