I also learned something new, thank you!
This combined with the screenshot has me convinced the Cruel and Unusual punishment was dealt to anyone who has had to deal with you. Your ban is just the GM’s making it up to the community.

Jesus, this thread was a whole package to unwrap. If I were anyone at Square Enix, I would charge you a 3 month sub, ban you temporarily and when you think you can come back and pay for a sub again, yeet you into oblivion for good.
Personally, I'd tweak the launcher to delete the game every single time and force a reinstall, only to have it fail at 99% each time and go right back to 0. That is true purgatory. :p Not forever though, just long enough. That's probably why I'd be a terrible customer service rep, but I believe the universe needs to balance itself out somehow.
strikes to your account in FFXIV accumulate don't they and three strikes and bye bye?
I mean if it was something you knew was slightly questionable but this is very bad taste and honestly sounds like you did multiple bad names and thus got punished for each name which then led to having a longer sentence sort of the same if I rob one bank I get charged with that but if I also hit someone then I tacked on assault yada yada. Sounds like you did something bad and got a decent punishment for it.
You willingly named your FC and such for shock value knowing full well what you were doing. Now you're shocked at the punishment doled out to you? You deserved it
I found it by skipping around through the live VOD!
He's right. And I appreciate what he said when someone mentioned the dude was trolling - these things still need to be said. To me, it doesn't matter if this guy is trolling, what matters is sometimes others aren't.
Judging by the general outrage and absolute baby-whining, sniveling, multiple spam posting "Gee I did not see this coming for my obviously offensive FC name" from the OP I would suggest the general community is not soft, the OP is. Go, cry...take your ban. In fact just please go, It's clear to most of the playerbase that posts on this forum that FF is not for you.
"I punched someone in the face because I thought it'd be funny and they punched me back. It was unfair."
That's what the OP sounds like to me. You knew what you were doing. Don't cry about unfairness when you willingly and intentionally did something you weren't supposed to.
What did you expect lol what a dumb thing to do in a public game
I know common sense is not so common but let me ask you something.
In a game that is known for enforcing rules, what made you think having a offensive name be ok? With a community that is more than happy to report people who do offensive things to them, knowing full and well that people get in trouble for it.
Even if you are a new player. You should at least do a research on something you buy as a good consumer. So being a sprout has nothing to do with common sense.
Also I don't think it is really cruel, I mean their game they can ban you and it would not be cruel. It is a service. We don't own the game.
Like don't get me wrong. I'm not offended and don't really care myself. I understand what type of community this is, and what the rules are. So I don't take risks.
Thanks! I was looking for the wrong thing apparently. Didn't realize there was a reddit post about it too. But anyway...

That was brutal...and yet so beautiful. The OP's gonna need some Blizzard III for that Fire IV.
ToS is not optional, you agreed to any action that was taken to the account, the account and game remains the property of SE you pay for the right to play on there game,
Imagine reporting someone for this type of stuff. How boring must your life be? I'm not immature enough to name my FC or Retainers things like that. But I'm also not so whiny that I look at what other players are doing and try policing the names they used.
I can't remember the last time I noticed what someone's Retainer was named. I look at the prices, and buy or don't buy. Both OP and these reporters need to get a life.
Edit: Oh wow, I've been duped. OP, why are you lying?

Don't listen to this guy, this is what he got banned for: https://imgur.com/a/fELOCu8 and this isn't even all of it.
This isn’t wow, these are not the wow forms, people aren’t going to agree that racist or offensive names should be allowed. You came here, named things in a way that violates the rules. You didn’t do it once, you did it multiple times. You did it with you FC, retainers etc… now I’m not Nostradamus but I do predict a name change is on its way.
Lol, chill out. I amended my post within minutes of originap post after reading his new evidence added AFTER my post. Nobody can see the future. Don't be that guy. You are clearly still butthurt about my comments in another thread. That's the only reason I recognize your name.
Yup, on one hand I understand it. I mean what mmorpg or heck even games most of the time enforce the rules that much? Like TOS is just legal mumbo that keeps the company from getting in legal trouble.
So finding a game that a company cares about and enforces the rules? Seems like bs. On the other hand, as a consumer you could have done at least a little bit of research and saw that this game is no joke when it comes to offensive stuff. Like dang.
And after reading some replies…. Looks like it took all of 5 days for the toxic wow players to migrate here. I’m a former wow player and when I say toxic I don’t mean all wow players are toxic, just the OP and those that think his behavior is acceptable.
I mean, I might not particularly like you, but I don't remember why exactly. Seriously, I don't. It wasn't memorable enough, apparently. If anyone's salty about what happened before this it's clearly you. Either way, as far as this thread is concerned...stop being a jerk then and read a thread before you post. It is nothing personal there. I'd say the same to anyone else. There were plenty of details prior to this. The original post should have been a red flag in and of itself, but you know...
I've only commented on one or two threads after being absent for several years, that "Freeloader Problem" thread. The fact that you don't like me as a person, for one opinion, on one topic, shows how one-dimensional, judgmental, and hateful you are.
I'm not a seasoned forum warrior. I made a mistake commenting on this thread without reading the whole thread. I'll kindly see myself out of the official forums for another year now, as I clearly forgot how many roving packs of no-lifers are here every day every hour patrolling for people to pounce on. "Welcoming community". Laugh out loud.
I'm good at reading people, on the internet and in real life. That doesn't make me hateful, though it probably does make me a little judgmental. If it wasn't you I was calling out it would have been someone else. Again, nothing personal there. The only thing I don't deal well with is other peoples' BS. First impressions are important, and that often tells me everything I need to know. If I don't like you and you don't like me? It's fine. We will just butt heads every so often. I'm never going to get along with everyone. I'm not afraid to give credit where it is due though. But I'm not as horrible as you think I am. You just haven't given me much of a reason to think otherwise of you.
The forum community is not the same as the game one. We are kinda outcasts. Heck even I get label as a Troll in here, just because I disagree with people. So I understand where you coming from, but I would not take it so personal. Like many people don't like me on here, and I just wear it as a badge of honor considering who we are on this forum.
One thing I will say is if your Overton window is so far to the right you think anyone who has an issue with the KKK and the fourteen words is a snowflake then you need a serious intervention.
OP's case is clear cut, obvious ban. I actually disappointed it wasn't permanent.
We shit on the OP but the unfortunately truth is his position while most likely a joke is a byproduct of past victims and bystanders.
Sure does not excuse what he has said but by in large I do think generally we should be far more disappointed with those that refused to speak up sooner or even during the acts themselves within the office. Those working in the enviorments where these horrible things happened.
Just sad that his comments and jokes are unfortunately have a hidden veil of truth that has been going on for years. Yet if someone dares to place blame on the contributing factors of the past people will say you are horrible person.
Either way this entire thing to a degree does show how easy it is to poke fun at the horrible actions of another but how easy we forget that those of the past are implicate of this monster they are now trying to fight.
Either way sorry for the tangents yeah OP messed up.
Careful how you word stuff, this makes it seem like you put blame on the victims for not speaking up sooner, which in such a volatile environment and a country with little social security nets to fall back on like the US can easily destroy your entire life. Double so since nowadays people in game development are very easily replacable since a lot of people went into that field thanks to their love for it.
I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it like that but this could easily be misunderstood.
I love my wife
I'd ask OP to hold this, but they seem kinda weak.

Hope they see these screenshots and ban you permanently, you loser.
