Possible ban?

[LaylaTsarra]

Sure, it's the FC leaders fault for not having their ranks set up properly, but using their credits which they earned and spending them for yourself and then leaving is extremely rude and you probably should get banned for doing that imo.

Everyone in the free company who does something earns FC credits for the Free Company. I'm not justifying what the OP did, they should have asked, but the OP did earn many of the credits the FC has as well.

It sounds to me like the OP joined, immediately bought the portraits and left, which is why I said it. If not then yes, you're right.

THIS ISN'T ROBBING

If using FC credits is robbing, then joining an FC just to purchase "Heat of Battle" for personal use should be robbing to.

Thing is, the OP never stated the reasons for leaving and honestly, that isn't any of our business. OP just asked for a yes or no question, not an "Explain your SJW reason to show your work".

Here're the facts we're presented with.

-OP joined an FC
-OP purchased pictures using company credits
-OP had permission to use the company credits that belong to all members of the FC, not the leads and their officers.
-OP left after purchasing the items. We don't know how long the OP left after the purchase though. This information is an unknown. It's possible the FC didn't make it a big deal until the OP left.
-OP is now being threaten with being banned which is a form of harassment.
-OP thinks what they did was wrong.
-What OP took isn't even tradable or sold on the MB. This is literally the only way to acquire the items.
-What OP took isn't even a big deal. For whatever reason, the OP decided to leave. The leaders should probably figure that out first before accusing a member of ditching an FC as that just goes to show they didn't really care about that individual member within their walls.

Anyway... my point is... it's just company credits. Can you even call it stealing? It was points accumulatively earned by all members of the FC including the OP. The points are free and cost the FC virtually nothing. They didn't steal from the company chest. They didn't take a bunch of materia, crafting mats, airship parts, crystals, or gil from the chest. They just took something that's more or less free. Is what they did really that bad that we have to go all SJW on them and say they should be player banned? Because if so, that just goes to show you how sensitive and uptight this community really is. Then again, this is the same community that wants to ban people for early pulling hunts.

OP you did nothing wrong. It wasn't even stealing, you didn't rob them of funds. You even contributed to the use of earning FC points, which could possibly entitle you to the use of them because you had permissions to use them. If it's still stealing for whatever reason, then it's the leaders fault. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

You won't get banned.

Lol I know you, I met you when you were asking in pf for an FC, you joined us then left the next day without saying anything. Now that you've admitted to this, I'm glad I assigned you to an appropriate rank. Look all you had to do is ask, even if you have the privileges and especially if it's only you benefitting from it. Those credits were earned by everybody in that FC, remember that.

[WinterLuna]

Is there any wonder people are disliking the community more and more when people think this is acceptable behaviour?

[aesteval]

-OP admits what they did was wrong.

...

OP you did nothing wrong.

LOL, what?

The only thing I'll agree on is that we don't have enough information to know the full details of what happened. People who are against what OP did are making certain assumptions and you are also making other assumptions.

Hardly an SJW, but it would be one thing the to use Heat of the Battle as that benefits the FC, the OP, used these for themselves and of no benefit to the rest of the FC, since they left and took the portraits with. She could have placed them in the FC house just as easily to see "what they looked like" and placed them back in the chest.

[RayneLittlewinkle]

So, I was in a FC and I used their company credits to buy the portraits and I left. I know that's bad move but I honestly just wanted to see what they looked like in portrait form. Today, one of the members whispered me and said that they will have me banned/reported because of me "robbing" them. My theory is that the FC leader is at fault for not regulating what certain ranks can do in the FC. I was the lowest rank and I could add/move furniture and all that good stuff. I have been in many other FC that would only let the low ranks just feed the chocobos or tend to the plants.

I can't wrap my head around any part that you think this is okay? And then posing your poor actions and blaming the leader for not having the ranks set up. Are you really serious?

[Midori_Nabooru]

SE didn't e-mail me about one of my suspensions til' like 2 weeks later. I don't have time to wait that long.

This comment made me laugh. "I don't have time to wait that long".

You do something that is rude to begin with and now you don't have time to see if you will be punished? Who cares if it's against ToS it's just disrespectful. So just sit there and wait to see if you get some type of punishment. It probably won't come from SE, but the community itself.

Assumptions can only be made when there isn't enough facts to support a claim. And because we're lacking facts I cannot agree that what the OP did was wrong until further facts present themselves.

What if I used a different buff then? What if I wanted to use the buff to reduce the weakness timer because I wanted to do the sac strat in AS4? Would that then not be for personal us full well knowing I would be the only one to benefit? I agree with you they could be put back in the chest, however seriously... they don't belong to the FC. Not everything has to. It's just as selfish to make them put it in the chest as it is for them to keep it. There's no point in putting it in the chest if the FC house wasn't going to use it themselves, it would be just as good to simply discard the items at that point. Let them have it if it's just gonna rot away in the chest. Better for somebody to use them then nobody at all.
