Feeders in the Feast: Nothing has changed?

So the season has started, and it is a huge disappointment to me and I'm sure many others that no action has been taken against feeders in Solo Queue.

A certain Scholar in particular, whom we all know and love as our favorite "0 healing done" wonder, who has been reported probably dozens if not hundreds of times, is still queueing up, and still feeding.

Seriously, we were told in the other thread to report these people, but what is that doing exactly? It seems to me that SE has no intention of banning bots, intentional feeders, or hackers in PVP. This is disheartening, to say the least.

Same is happening on Chaos.... We are countering it by killing them but not taking medals until the match is nearly over. Hopefully that will make them stop queuing.

Oh, I'm specifically talking about Solo Queue here. It prevents others from climbing in rank.

You'd think they'd have done something about it before the official season started, what with thousands of reports against them, but the response I got from the GMs is that they can't consider it actual harassment until the CMs tell them that it is, and to post on the forums to get a response. Did that, got silence. So I assume that is SE's official stance on the matter. Silence. So I said screw it, and just started queuing as the role that scum is playing. Being a healer in Feast is a nightmare, but at least I can guarantee I won't have an empty slot.

This will never change unless you remove rewards from losing. It's as simple as that. One of the biggest issues is SE trying to use PvE rewards in PvP to make it a more populated event.
PvE players do not care about PvP. If they go in it for quick capping they will never care. This will never be fixed hntil rewards are removed from a loss.

there will always be feeders no matter where you go. somethin you gotta get used to.

There is a difference between a normal feeder and an intentional feeder. Please read the post again.

But..... That's stupid, a mod on the forums clearly stated it was harassment and that we should report them.....! What the hell man, are they changing their stance? Or was there a miscommunication somewhere?

If they give you the same wishy washy response, link this thread.

See I hate to say it, but I knew they should have delayed the season till they had everything 100% taken care of and understood.

The only feeders I want to see, are bird feeders ;-;

SE didn't impliment the season properly at all its going to get worse from here on out. They won't learn from this either which is the worst part also, is it still solo que that you get ranking? If it still is then again I have no interst in solo queing with randoms with no communication.

Edit: Just read the patch notes and there are team rewards, my bad I haven't been on FF14 in almost a week lol

I guess just stick it out for now in solo mode and pray you have success and purchase a stress ball from the SE store! Hopefully we shouldn't see them higher up in the ladder right? ._.

That's actually a very, VERY important point. If you end up with one of these [censored], we probably should just lose, rather than try to win, because if enough people win, that bumps them up to Bronze, meaning everyone Silver and lower ends up with the scum, rather than the unfortunate Bronze players.
