We should ignore mark people more

See a tank spinning the boss south fighting for aggro with the other tank causing the boss to cleave everyone? Ignore Mark 1 and 2 on both the tanks!

See someone in Frontlines AFKing at spawn. Ignore Mark 1 them!

See a DPS getting 12 vuln stacks dying to a raidwide complaining why they didn't get healed? Ignore Mark his behind!

See a healer casting Cure III over and over again and telling you to shut up when you say "Hey, by the way Cure II is better for single target healing"? Just give up and ignore mark them!

Oh, God forbid you actually say anything in chat to express your frustration. No no no, you will just get banned. Just ignore mark them! Because that's the FF14 way.

I mean Ill say it again Frontlines is horribly designed to start with, most the maps its pure rng who gets the S ranks, I mean on the ice map Ive seen a game where one team legit got 2 to 1 of the big ices to another team, and in sealed rocks I sware people are paying one or two players in the other team they arent in and mass rushing a single team even at the start, and don't get me started on the stepps where that has legit screwed over teams by only spawning the S and A tiers on one side of the map. Then there is the fact its not even about skill level its about how many drks/warriors and white mages you bring right now to perm stun lock and pull in groups.

I mean rival wings and cc are much better but neither has a roulette so rival wings will never really be "played" outside special occasions

That's also because no one dares to speak up, people will let an AFKer get away with everything and will trounce on the people calling the AFKer out over the actual AFKer.

I dunno about y'all, but I've never been banned for just... expressing my frustrations in chat.

"Tanks if we pull and you spin the eye all fight again I'm DCing" is probably said at least once every other World of Darkness run, and I'm still here.

some guy standing around afk isn't the main proplem its a symptom of the major issue of frontlines just being pure shit to start with, with rng and the team that typically wins always has the same make up and able to stun lock entire groups of players to the point they cant do anything about it, and sealed rocks being so small of a map for 24 PLAYERS

I mean you can basically tell rather your team is going to stand a chance or not in the first 30 seconds in front lines due to party make up job wise, and the other teams partys and the first spawns are a clear indicator of where the game spawning is going to go.

The fact is with how its designed with "Spawns" it demoralizes people from the start of it, I mean if you see every A spawn at the top of screen in the first 10 seconds how you think someone going to feel, you really want them to care much if the spawn ratio is screwing them over and over and over again.

There only 2 things that will fix frontlines to point people rlly wont feel the need to "AFK"
1st do away with spawns completely do something like flag capture or protect transports that can be stolen by other teams (think of wows) mining shaft pvp area where you escort carts to one side and they weren't random spawns and they could be attacked and stolen if the other team played smarter.

2nd: half the amount of people in it/ make it only 2 teams

No, negative feelings do not exist. Everyone must live in blissful ignorance, which is why the friends list has remained unchanged for 10 years.

It's the people that put ignore markers up on people, and then the person removes them... just for the person to put it back on again that are obnoxious and should be banned.

People have been banned for less. It's basically a dice roll with the GMs and with whether people reported you

Hey I got two vote-kicks of AFKers through last week. Out of five admittedly, but on Aether it is possible.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever got banned or muted in any online game, the worst I ever got was a warning in Overwatch after purposely picking support and then refusing to heal my teammates multiple times across a week. And people claim it's easy to get banned in that game too.

Getting banned is a skill issue tbh. Take the L and move on.

tbh as much as i do not want to agree with Red his right, on this the rule setup is so open-worded/ makes no sense to the point you can get in trouble for everything even if its a really stupid thing lol all it takes is 1 keystroke and if the majority of people report you, you get banned over it Just because it has happened to you yet, doesn't mean it doesn't happan because it does happen alot.

I mean I made 1 joke one time that was just Legit Ill pay a cookie for some yaoi action infront of me and got reported for RMT and got a warning out of it years ago in arr lol, so ya this does happan its not even a surprise people will report over anything and everything they dislike or feel offend over

Doing things like this makes people fall out of love with the game.

You paid for another month for it so you're contributing to the success whether you like it or not.

I'm pretty sure he's been arguing with himself at some point, it gets hard to keep track

His Job class is Conflictor, a new Tank job exclusive to himself where he aggressive everybody into arguing with him for long durations of time while the rest of the party Bees Knees emotes in the background.

This is the best answer in this thread. This guy helps everyone come to an agreement, even if we disagree on other subjects. It gives me hope for this game.

I've dealt with this back when I was learning feast and couldn't keep up with the dps.
I've deal with this now in crystal conflict whenever the dying party is salty.
Hard pass, unless you're willing to get marked yourself.
