Is this something I can report people for?

The report options in-game are semi-limited in how useful they can be, but I have to confirm.

I was in a FC up until just recently, after getting into an argument with the FC leader, I knew that I wasn't getting anything out of it by still being in it, he didn't care and told me to go ahead and leave. I say I will once I go and retrieve what I placed in the house because it's rightfully mine, as I'm in the house, I let slip that I didn't much like him to begin with, other interactions had told me that his general attitude is the exact type of person I avoid in XIV, and since I tried to not interact with him much, I didn't have anything else to add, I said simply that I didn't like him.


He then kicked me from the FC immediately and tell'ed me saying how much of a moron I am for speaking that openly, and that he wasn't going to let me retrieve anything from the house that was my property. As moronic as I was being to not keep it to myself, the guy had always irked me, and I was going to say that before I left.

Now that I'm not in it anymore, he's going to hold my Carbuncle stuff and other housing items hostage and not let me take them out.

Can I report this to a GM?

Well he can kick you, and as far as I know, you will get your money back for the room...not sure what happens to your furniture though.
And I am going to say no that this isn't report worthy. Unless racial or other derogatory terms were used by him, you may be SoL. If no screen captures were taken, it's really his word versus yours.

SE has a pretty hands-off policy with FCs.
What goes on in there, what being said in there = your problem only.

I believe everything in your personal room that can be picked up once set down will be at the housing enthusiast or one of those other housing npc (not sure which one since I haven't had the need to do that yet lol). The stuff inside the FC housing is for the FC once placed, so unfortunately I don't think there is much grounds for that.

The 300K is never recovered though. (So your carbuncle lamps if in your personal room is probably at one of the npcs in the district).

Just read a different thread, and yes you should be able to get most of your stuff back, if you get booted.

Would be probable, but I didn't place these things in a Private Room because I didn't want to waste the money in the event I did leave in a manner like this, so it was just placed in the house like normal. I still have the chat in my log though and I'm screen-capping it now.

Ouch, ok yea, you may be out of luck atm. Unless you can patch things up with the leader, that stuff in the FC house could very well be gone.

Said he wouldn't give it back anytime soon, I filed a report for Harassment with a GM a little while ago, and I have screen-caps of him admitting he kicked me from the FC and isn't letting me retrieve my stuff, I'll be showing that to a GM later as well.

Good luck with that. I've yet to talk to a GM that would accept any screenshots as proof, even when dealing with sexual harassment.

So dont get your hopes up.

It is actually useless to take screenshots. GM's are unable to use player-taken pictures, videos or any link thing as evidence when issuing a report or investigation against someone. They will go through their previous chat logs, but other than that, there's not much they can do. Tis why you don't see a lot of people getting banned over raging.

You can't get the items back anyways if you placed them in the house, they are tied to that house now.

I'm sorry things ended for you that way though, best of luck!

Nah, once you set something down, if it can be retrieved, you can still take it back. Unless you mean you're unable to set them in another house, even if you're holding it in your inventory, in which case I can't confirm it you can still place them in another house. I've done it.

Right - the items can be removed - but only by a member of the free company - if he's not in the free company any more, he can't remove them. Items placed in the common areas of free company housing are considered to belong to the free company.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the point he was trying to make is that anything that can be retrieved is mostly garbage furnishings nobody would/should really care about. All of the expensive stuff is generally bound to the house.

Sorry to say, most likely a GM will tell you that 'To avoid this in the future...' speech instead of returning the items. Players were warned to be wary of which FCs they joined and what they allowed other FC members access to. It'll most likely be treated the same way as those people who joined FCs shortly after Housing came out, helped donate to the purchase of a house, and then got kicked once the house was purchased. I'm sorry this happened to you. :( It's why I started a small FC with friends I knew, after leaving a bigger FC run by people I didn't know.

Only coil and primal furniture cannot be removed. There is a lot of expensive/furniture that can be removed. Instruments, carbuncle , etc

Generally if it's something that's been placed inside a FC house, I'd consider it a donation the whole FC as a group, and you lose any rights to it. No take backsies!

I meant exactly what I said once you place something in an FC house its bound to that house only, you cant put it in another house, thus why you can't sell used furniture. You can take it out yea, you can put it in a FC room yea, but you cant take it out and put it in a different house. So sorry to say it but if you placed anything in that dudes FC house, its stuck there. You can technically "get it back" if you rejoined and took it but you can't do anything with it other then vendor trash it & what not.

So again that sucks and I'm sorry. Take care.

you shouldn't put anything to the house unless you really like the leader. you said you never liked the guy from the beginning, why did you give him so many furnishings?

btw he's a real jerk and with his attitude like that I don't think his FC will last so long.

This really bit me in the ass honestly. When I first joined, the guy that got me to join was basically a best friend to the leader, and I told him day one "I'm trusting YOU personally, that you can guarantee that my stuff will be safe to place in the house." He told me they were the only two that could mess with it, so with the guy I knew being the second in command, I let my guard down. Figures that in the end I got boned and my stuff is basically stolen from me, he tried to fix it, but the "Master" would just kick me or remove it for himself if he wanted to likely. The guy said he didn't care, but when he closed the house to only FC members and went through all the telling arguing with me to say that he "Didn't care at all," he's certainly went past the point of not caring by then.

I told him honestly before he blacklisted me that someone acting like he is should not be running a FC, regardless of what happens between two users, if you can't swallow your immaturity and let someone take what is rightfully theirs back before you kick them, then you should not be running a FC at all. That's the kind of spiteful thing a teenage girl would do, they'd steal someone else's stuff and refuse to give it back until the authorities got involved. Any guy that considers himself a man should realize how low it is to snatch away someone's rightful property and hold it to themselves. Hate someone all you want, but draw the line at that kind of detestable behavior somewhere, this can easily happen to anyone in any FC and we need to get something adjusted here.
