Just had a guy report me because of 2 questions

Ok, i found this pretty funny.

Here i am, doing Alphascape v2.0 (normal) for the first time. Everyone is in, people say hi and whatnot, then i notice the other tank is in their dps stance so i ask them if they want me to MT, they say yes and i MT.

A few seconds later i tell them "If i get 2 vulnerability stacks, swap with me" to which he says he doesn't know how to do that. I didn't mind that, i just payed extra attention as to not get hit by anything. After a minute, before the phases in which Midgar uses Tail's End, i ask the OT if he knows how to cover a tankbuster, to which they respond "no". Again, i'm fine with this, so i ask him another question: "Do you have any defense ability you can use on someone?" so i wouldn't take too much damage from the tankbuster. This is when things start getting even funnier and they say "Dude, i'm a sprout" to which i answer "So am i" then, someone on our team said "I mean, you're level 70" and after him saying "i don't care about the game i only want the story", our teammate says "still..." to which they respond with "stop this harassment, i am getting annoyed", we keep talking and i ask them "how is that harassment?" and our teammate tells him that we just wanted to know if he knew his abilities.

Fast-forwarding, he ended up reporting us for "harassment", after saying "so much for the "nice community"".

It baffles me how someone is in Alphascape v2.0 without knowing any of the basic stuff, basically holding us, teammembers, hostage, carrying deadweight, and then have the audacity to say we're harassing them when we are ACTUALLY trying to HELP them.

I know what me and the teammember did isn't ban worthy, but knowing how funky SE's ban system is, i wouldn't be surprised if we did get banned for 2 questions.

I do have all the screenshots ready, just in case the ban hammer is swung at us.


EDIT: When i first heard on how some people were super sensitive in this game, i thought it was just a meme, a joke, or just a myth. It turns out these people do exist. It saddens me deeply that i was trying to help this person actually be better, only to get hit by their passive-aggressiveness and claims that i'm harassing them!

You need to do something extremely egregious or get a warranted warning a couple times before any sort of punishment is inflicted. I'm sure most of the GMs in this game do their best, but it's hard to actually figure out what's going on with just a chat log (nuance is almost non-existent in chat). My experience though is that they usually side with whoever complains first though.

You can be reported all he wants. If this is the whole story, nothing will happen.
I’m encourage good gameplay as well, it wouldn’t surprise me if I’ve ruffled some feathers. But I’ve never actually harassed anyone or broken rules. I’ve never seen any action on me in my entire adventuring career.

By the by, telling someone you’re reporting them is ACTUALLY considered harassment. So uh, good going on that guys part.

How do you know he reported you?

Whether we have the whole story or not, if nothing else really happened then there's no reason to worry. It's tanks like that though that make me feel better about myself since I'll be going Gunbreaker next month. I'm not a pro at tanking (yet) but I'm not an idiot either. I plan to do my absolute best.

It's been a while, but iirc you get a notification in the upper right of the screen that a complaint was filed against you. Or maybe thats only if the GMs deemed it accurate. I can't remember.

To be fair, the amount of times someone says they are going to report you and nothing happens, it's just all hot air. Doesn't seem like OP did anything wrong, sure the tone of the words could be interpreted differently but the GMs would see the bigger picture, there are much worse things that deserve more attention when it comes to reports.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't worry about this. No insults were being hurled and the questions were relevant to the game.

What’s the point of this post?

You won’t get in trouble. You did nothing wrong. That is sad though. I’m guessing they jump potioned
