Ark Survival Evolved - Harassment, threats, abuse, griefing, and racism from a player

Yesterday night my brother and I were harassed, threatened, and abused in the game Ark Survival Evolved. I have written the game designer company Studio Wildcard over the matter and was pressed to write it here as well. The events involve others over the
past few weeks but I am not one to put up with stuff like this. We play on the XBox official North American PVE server - The Island - 201. It is a public Xbox server and no ones personal server they can control. However this one player by the XBox gamer tag:
DG Ancient believes that because he is such a higher level, that he can do what he wants, when he wants, and if you don't do what he says, forces people to do so or forces them from the server. By which, because he is so high level and his dinos he has tamed
are high level, will kite other high level wild predator dinos into bases to kill off your dinos and destroy their bases. Yesterday afternoon a player was wanting to buy a high level dino for whatever reason, can't play much and/or can't devote the time to
taming a high level dino, or one is never high enough for them to find. Anyways the DG Ancient guy said he doesn't like people buying, trading, selling dinos, EVEN though it is entirely allowed in the game and encouraged by many others.

So the early evening comes and my brother and a few others tell me about this guy's nerd rage from earlier and then someone posted a few minutes later about wanting to buy a dino, in which I wrote in the general server chat "that I thought that was frowned
upon and that you'll face the wrath of a certain player..." not knowing DG Ancient was even on, nor would I care. It was an indirect comment with no threat, harassment, swearing, etc. from me. I then go AFK for 10-15 mins to make coffee then my brother yells
at me saying a dino is inside our base killing our dinos... I get back to the game and go outside our base (which was walled up all around but that DG Ancient exploited a break in the wall along the cliff face our base is located at due to the cliff face at
a slight angle but could no longer build our perimeter fence on). As I get outside DG Ancient writes "someone ordered a giga party". Giga being the trophy dino for large raid groups to kill. I write in chat for others to help if they can and let them know
that DG Ancient did this. Many rushed to try to help kite the Giga out but DG Ancient kept bringing him back in. Again... all because of a joke he didn't like because of his need to control an official Xbox PVE server which he thinks is his to control. Some
people who tried to help tried their best but the Giga killed off like 90% of our dinos and destroyed about a third of our base. Others were too low level to even attempt any help. In any case DG Ancient turned about 99% of the server against him in an instant
but no one is really up to par on that server to stop him right away from doing stuff like this. My brother and I try, along with other players try to have a fun time playing and helping others as it is a pretty ruthless game on PVE alone. DG Ancient has done
this to several other players in the past, he even boasts about it and says he is friends with the admin and he can do what he wants because he is a moderator (which I say is complete BS because why would a moderator do or act like this in a game or server
that isn't private, against people who aren't hostile towards him in anyway), anyways other players sent me accounts of events DG Ancient did to them, threatened them, and some telling of friends of theirs that he forced out from playing on the server. For
those who don't know, you can create and have your own personal server that you can admin, but that requires another Xbox running and gamer tag for it to run under. This guy is trying to by pass that and forcing everyone on 201 to adhere to his rules or else...
pretending he can do whatever he wants because he is high level and thinks he is buddies with an admin. As well as having a sister tribe of parrots who hop on and repeat to others to do what he says or things as I've stated above will happen to you... live
in fear of upsetting DG Ancient who will throw a temper tantrum at any moment or leave a place that SHOULD be available to anyone and everyone. Those parrot's gamer tags are: IncumbentJam and Iron Man X31.

Now for the griefing, DG Ancient's tribe in the game has posted pillars on a majority of the map as well... essentially controlling where anyone can build. They didn't get the whole map because it is pretty large and heavily wooded, dense areas, however
they do control a majority of it, being marked off from other players building where they want. As for the racism, he posted why are people are speaking French when it was a North American server and that they are lagging out the server... obviously not knowing
about French Canadians who play. Some of the other players took offense to it and asked me to report it as well.

As I have said, I did contact the game designer company Studio Wildcard and let them know of the events, as well as the people and their gamer tags who were involved and those of us who are being harassed, threatened, abused, etc. Listed below are the definitive gamer
tags of those who did the event and his lackeys and those who have been subjected to his "rule" and can verify said claims.
