Be careful when spamming feast chat commands!

I just got a warning that I was reported for abusing the feast chat command, specifically, "Nice Job!" and possibly "Fall back!". So be careful when using commands as you can get in trouble just as I learned!

>SE restricts chat in The Feast to alleviate the amount of reports.

>People still getting reported and punished.

Ok.

"Nice job."

That's plain idiotic

At this point remove the chat and delete feast.

I suppose it all depends on whether by spamming you mean you posted "Nice Job!" three or four times (purely as excitement for winning or as you mispressed the button), or whether you filled the chat box with a completely unnecessary stream. The latter can be seen as nothing other than spamming, in my opinion.

The fun part about these forum stories is that you never get the whole of it.

If you really got warned about your Feast chat abuse (Which we'll just believe for now out of good faith), I would wager you used the button like 5-10+ times in a row in several matches, which would fall under "spamming", which is indeed forbidden.

I can fully confirm as one of the top healers on primal, which leads to a close community plat+, i've seen people greif and troll games just to get back at a player, yes there's a high chance that I would be considered spamming in this case, i'm not denying it, but mostly just spreading awareness of what can happen if you spam all match. Example: If I get a well known bad plat player on my team and they throw the game, i'll use the nice job command 3-6 times. If you think this is an isolated case. You are wrong.

The phrase I keep seeing thrown around both here and on Reddit - "clown fiesta" - is starting to seem more and more apt.

Can I report everyone who uses a Berserk macro, then? They usually consist of multiple lines and sound effects, and are pressed innumerate amounts of times in a dungeon or raid.

Now we know why you where warned, fair. Next time just report the person? Fighting toxicity with begin toxic your self does not solve anything. An outsider may not even seen this "match throwing" and simply being ticked at you for being toxic in that manner, I have reported people in such cases.

You should, no one cares about if someone is pacified for 5 seconds. I do not think I had to myself, since they usually stop when I ask them too with macros like that.

Just delete Feast then.

Obviously people can't play it without getting offended even by SE made macros, and if you're seriously ready to BAN people for that, delete your PvP mode and reopen it when you know what you want Feast to be; Some casual circlejerk where no one is told what to do, or actual PvP?

If it's the former, give us 1v1 PvP Nd link rewards to it, because restricting communication so much defeats the purpose of team based PvP and only serves to annoy the players that find PvP fun. If it's going to be like that I'd rather PvP alone.

Welcome to Final Fantasy, where you can get banned because of "overusing" the given ways to communicate...

sometimes we don't spam enough fall back... too hard to understand

Aww you flatter me. But seriously you must have spammed this more than 6 times cause I'll spam whatever target I plan to attack at least 6 times and have yet to have a GM contact me about it lol. Especially at the beginning of a match if I don't recognize the name of the opposing healer I will spam "Attacking Healer" half a dozen times to get my point across.

That might be the case, but remember: No reports, no action. And there's a higher chance to get reported if you're using (and spamming) the commands sarcastically than when you are just trying to get your strategy heard. Especially if, as the OP surmised, it's one of those players trying "to get back at you", who're just yearning for an opportunity to report you. It might well even be that this was the primary reason the OP got warned, with the spamming being mere secondary.

But that's really just speculation.

It usually only takes one sensitive individual who feels wronged to go and report. So doing bannable offenses and not getting action taken is common. Their have been plenty of occasions of chat spam that goes without consequence. Not everyone is so high-strung or care enough to go and spend their time reporting.

Feast has come down to SE catering to the whining crying SJW players that now flood the ques.

Maybe we need to report SE for implementing this asinine quick chat.

Can react to chat spam, but not to the numerous wintraders in low-mid elo solo queue. :confused:

People shouldn't have to be "warned" about this. It's called spam for a reason. Pushing the button once should get your point across. When I hopped into PVP to get Goten it would irk the crap out of me when I saw:
Attacking healer ×6
Not enough that I would report anyone over it but I'm not surprised people are taking steps to stop the spamming of these chat commands. If anything, when someone spammed like this I noticed more people would go out of their way to not follow the spammers directions.

Well it's an issue when people don't attack the healer after the first few times and so when nobody on the opposite team is dying then we spam "Attack Healer!" several more times people STILL refuse to do it.

Reverse psychology. Attacking Tank! (but you actually want them not to hit the 0 stack tank.)

I'm not saying there isn't an issue with the current lack of communication and team work in pvp right now. I'm saying that spamming those commands isn't really going to get anyone anywhere so for the sake of players not being punished over it, I just wouldn't do it.

No, it's not enough. A lot of currently queing 'new' players have some kind of tunnel vision and ignore one Fall Back when their healer is dead, continue fighting and get themselves killed, usually resulting in a unrecoverable lose. 3-5 of these however may get their attention.

Exactly my point

This is actually funny because there are 2-3 players on primal right now just /sitting if they are losing or with players they don't like. People are getting a warning for spamming emotes, but the people throwing are still in games. Get your act together SE :/

The person who supposedly reported this person is in the reddit post. Might want to read and reevaluate if you believe them.

I find it kinda humorous how we're getting a new feast mode in the midst of this mess.

Yep, I sure will enjoy the Season, no communication, no getting your message across to players without getting reported.

Thanks SE. Maybe Stormblood will handle PvP better....

He says he spammed it 25-30 times while standing still the last minute when they needed just 1 kill to win. I'd probably report him myself. Not for spam, but for match throwing.
I did over 1.5k The Feast matches and so many of them were won last 30 seconds or even last second. Should never give up no matter what.

You always win at the last second, like when looking for something it's always the last place you look. ;P (j/k)

I agree, I've seen games in both FL & Feast that look a guaranteed second place when, almost magically, a score boosts you to a win. I get so annoyed when people just stop playing altogether because they're points down 2 minutes into a match. No, I'm not exaggerating, some of them just give up if they're not leading from the get-go.

Just an FYI, that's not what happened. If it's the game I think it is. the game was 250/550 and 1min left on clock while 2 were dead. Any good player knows the game is over, especially considering my team was extremely unskilled. Not my fault this particular player got triggered and reported. I wouldn't be respected at all in pirmal if I threw a game. But wait, I'm actually good and respected unlike the reporter, who is a well known unskilled below average win rate player.

I should note I don't care about the warning, the point is just a PSA and letting people know you can indeed get in trouble for this.

Someone actually inquired as to why the reporting individual didn't just simply report for match-throwing rather than chat command spamming, but there's yet to be a response. Curious to see what the answer will be, if any.
