Can we use ACT to recognize who is griefing the party and report them afterwards?

I just had a run with a dragoon who has 7 classes at level 80 but for some reason refused to do any AoE in a level 66 dungeon and the sprout blm was dealing more damage to the bosses despite failing her rotations. I appreciate that at least she is trying. The reason for the dragoon's poor performance I quote "I have a terrible headache^^". Why are you playing if you have a headache which is basically preventing you from playing and ruins the experience for other players? What purpose does the "^^" at the end serve? To indicate that you are trolling your party and happy because you think I can't do anything about it? Like seriously. His behaviour is disruptive and this is against ToS and hopefully, the GM who is going to be investigating the case will deem it as such as well.

Is it allowed to say things like "at the last pull I(gnb) used only Keen Edge and Brutal Shield and still did more DPS than the dragoon" in the report? Can we use the data from the ACT to validate a report and prove our points?

Edit: Thanks to everyone who warned me about using ACT logs to report someone. The solution to similar encounters in the future is kick or leave. I will let someone else nurture and support the griefers.

Well seeing as ACT isn't something Square Enix is endorsing the use of, probably not.

You can't DPS report shame unfortunately. Just kick them if they are holding the party back to a severe enough point that content isn't being cleared.

No, obviously not. Might be a good way to have a mark against your account, though.

I doubt that reporting someone for bad dps/rotations/not aoeing etc is going to do anything.

You could however I suppose use it to identify who is and isn't putting forth an honest effort and then kick people from your group. Just don't mention that you're using ACT and don't mention anything in chat, otherwise you could get reported yourself.

I can't read this as anything but a troll post.

"Different playstyles".

No you can't because the very use of 3rd party tools is a ban worthy offense. If you quote ACT logs you are just proving you use it.

Since its a dungeon this is not much of a problem and unfortunately all you can do is ask if it can use his aoe skills on mobs(not being unecessary rude of course).
Remeber to not be afraid to give advice to player. Most players are afraid to tell something and get reported for trying to tell how ppl should play. Advice is not a demand, even when not asked in the worst scenario he'll just ignore ou talk shit.
If comes to this point just ignore.

tl dr, no you can't .

I wish. I would've reported so many no dps healers if that was allowed.

Would be nice. But what is griefing in any other game is acceptable in FFXIV for some reason.

Also obviously because ACT is technically forbidden.
