so I got kicked today for...

So I never been kicked before in FF14 .....so I Rp with my character and for one move I use macro to say an attack. The tank gets mad and says i need to turn it off and "saying this isn't naruto." I don't respond im playing the dungeon fine...and then i get kicked. and before I get kicked he says "something party kick no jutsu."

So I report him b/c I think for the most party the ff14 is great and don't want want people like him ruining this community esp. with the exp around the corner. I send him a tell telling that i reported him and that people should play they want to play. Its a fantasy game for godsake.

Thank you for everyone's comments- you are right - I'm not playing alone and everyone plays differently. I have changed it to echo instead of party. Thank you guys

Tbh, when people use macros like that, it can be extemely annoying.

I'm sorry to hear that, sadly we sometimes need to adapt ourselves to our environment. If you're doing that is pissing people off, you better stop that. I know it's annoying, and it breaks your inmersion, but you know, it's DF for a reason. You never know what kind of people you'll find there and if they're going to like the way you act/perform.

It was for the dragpnfire Drive move- which has a very long cool down. I can see if i was spamming....not anything like that. I actually love when people use rp macros shows the love and invest they have for the game and their character. I just don't get why people feel they have to be bullies/jerks in a game. I use games/mmos as outlet to unwind/relax- not bully.

I think its extremely annoying when people tie macros to things that aren't important. I know you want to RP your character, but I don't RP and I don't want my chat box flooded with it. I need to look out for important things, healer and tank macros, party chat etc.

I used to play DCUO and i know how a toxic community can kill a game, makes people not want to play anymore and completely stop new players getting into the game. that's why i reported him, i have never before reported anyone. I just want to stop poison dead in its tracks.

I don't get annoyed by any macro really at least is spamable and it rings every single time ( i am guessing I have been in parties were their macros would ring often. I guess is cuz i am summoner. All my skills ring lol). Sadly your freedom ends when the other person don't feel comfortable and vice versa. Sorry to hear you got kick out cuz of that.

It's bullying to ask you to change an unnecessary verbal macro so that it doesn't spam the chatlog? And it's something worth filing a report over?

Ok so here's the thing about that.

You shouldn't have told him.

Here why: If a GM contacts him or takes any action against his account, he will know that he was reported and that this was the consequence. If that DOESN'T happen though, then he'll know he was reported and there was no consequence to that action.

I'm sure you can see the implication here. If the guy knows he can be a jerk to random people without fear of consequences, he's only going to get worse. If someone needs to be reported, report them. But don't tell them you did that.

As for my personal opinion, I find non-informative macros to be kind of annoying. It drowns out what might be actual relevant party chat. I wouldn't kick you for it, but you'd probably lose my commendation. If it got really disruptive, I'd ask you to stop.

I'm sorry to tell you this but, while there's nothing wrong with using macros like that, if someone asks you to stop and you don't, then the fault lays with you. You may not have been asked nicely but you were asked.
