Tank dps harrasment

[KaldeaSahaline]

As I have said in the past, if the change provided has the potential to limit harassment without altering the core function why not do it? As I have said my request is more akin to adding more crosswalks or extending the allotted time for pedestrians to cross the street. Said change would inconvenience drivers but it would not have an overall large impact on how they commute to work. My change is not extreme, while my mindset to you may be considered extreme the change I have proposed is far from extreme it will be a minor inconvenience at best for those that wish to use the tool.

This is a naive statement. If you're familiar with traffic streams even something as simple as delaying a light by x seconds or adding a cycle lane has a tremendous downstream impact that requires a staggering amount of modeling to ensure it doesn't push any stream past its congestion flow maximum.

On to how you interrupted what I wrote let us say that was the case, where in that post was mentioned no one disclosed info that it was a carry group? Not even sure how you got to that point, I know my command of the English language is rather weak, but I am not really sure how you got to that point. Though your example is interesting though in that in the past when we were much smaller we did try to fill spots with PUGS telling them that it was a carry group, and to not expect much from two of the DPS. Some people did say they understood, but they underestimated us in when we said do not expect much and one player did berate said members out of frustration. Which is understandable that is why I do not like the simple report and move on, since at the core a lot of these players do not make said comments with malicious intent, and most of the time they stem from frustration. That is why we have made it a policy for said members to request help from within the FC or allies tied to the FC if they do not want to risk harassment.

My example was made up based on the data you were giving me. I had asked if I had fabricated a story indicative of what you were trying to convey and it looks like I did a pretty good job.

Your English is not bad by any means. Don't short sell yourself.

Now regarding your last point. You examples do not take into account one thing. FFXIV is a product provided by SE. Please tell me why a feature that is not integrated into the game by SE places an expectation on the player that does not wish to be part of a feature that is not supported by SE have to register an account with the site, claim your characters then go to settings to hide ones logs? If people want to use FFLogs the burden should be placed on them since they are the ones that wish to use a third party program, not the other way around. Granted I understand it is not much to ask of a player to do, but the point is it should not be asked of a player at all. FFLogs is not part of the product one gets when they buy FFXIV, it is not a listed feature so it should not be forced on anyone period. For us that wish to FFLogs we can, just means an extra hoop we have to go through. A consumer of a game should not be forced to opt out of a feature not supported by developer. Does it happen? Sure, still does not make it right.

You keep mentioning "doing nothing is bad", but that's actually not true. Sometimes doing nothing is in fact doing something, and in this case doing nothing most likely leads to less harassment. Imagine if they were opt in and all the harassment that could come from that. You could save one life and kill twenty.

Was it worth it?

Contrary to popular belief it is not "report worthy" if I decline you from my party asking you to open your logs" either if it was opt in.

The other thing you didn't account for is you can't just make changes willy nilly and roll them back if they don't work. The damage is done and isn't unwound that easily. How you're not familiar with that concept is bewildering though. Just like in the court of the law, the lawyer says something they KNOW will be overruled and withdrawn, but it doesn't matter once the jury hears it, it's there forever. The damage is done regardless if the judge required it stricken from the docket.

Also, most companies that collect data are opt out, not opt in, because opt in doesn't work. It destroys the product they offer. I'm not sure what your professional background is in (I do some biz dev) and let me tell you if companies had to opt in to these databases my work would be irrelevant. There'd simply be no data for me to analyze.

Much like if someone posts a picture of me on instagram/facebook etc. I have to log in and request it be removed. Might as well go on a crusade about them too.

You don't even see it but your notions are the very picture of "doing something good for the sake of good regardless of the consequences". It's an incredibly juvenile and naive viewpoint and I wish you were more open to looking deeper inward on this.
