There was one time my LS and I were in Abyssea - Altepa, doing a pt on the dolls. Now, since it's LS only, we don't do the typical setup for an alliance exp session. It changes from week to week depending on who isn't leeching and their jobs (we rotate). This particular week we were doing BLM Nuke-ga's. One of the BLMs would gather 5 dolls, sleepgs and the other two would join the first BLM and we'd Firaja, simple enough. Well, this new group comes in, and their WHM decides to start casting Diaga on the slept mobs, often getting claim, but we would keep hate (he tried to time it to land right after a Firaja barrage most of the time so his group had less work to do to kill them).
Now, we all know that yellow mobs are fair game - at least by the games rules. And none of us were dying because we know how to keep ourselves buffed, time cures, etc. But it was stupidly annoying. Now, two of us called a GM. My buddy got a response first, and he explained the situation. Normally, you'd expect a GM to advise us to just move, or advise the other group to just move, or at worst say that yellow mobs are fair game and he can't do anything. The GM popped himself in between our two groups and stayed there for a few seconds - probably to scare the douche WHM or some such (which I thought was cool). The WHM didn't care and kept doing it.
Well, The GM immediately jailed the guy. It was approximately 30 minutes before the guy was released to his homepoint. While he was in jail, one of his ally members was shouting for the GM to release him. Annoying at first, but then he started making threats to the GM. That guy got jailed too, and to my knowledge, nobody even called a GM on him.
Anyway, the original guy was technically working within game mechanics, but the GM still took care of it regardless. Which I thought was pretty damn spiffy.
