Sexual harassment

[Mnemyx]

I don't think SE/FFXIV should do anything regarding the TMP issue. The game was used as a medium - just like any other social media website or application. A lot of the interactions also occurred in other mediums, like Discord, Hangouts, and Skype, and one or two in person. And it's rare for those platforms to restrict their users outside of letting the users have control over who they interact with and to whom they share their data that's being stored within the platform's database, so to expect something from SE/FFXIV is a bit much.

However, I do think that whenever harassment (both sexual and not) are reported that they are handled objectively and carefully prior to taking any action. And I think that's all they can really do - address reported issues that occurred on their platform and elevate them to authorities as necessary. And if it's at their events, this wouldn't fall on their jurisdiction either and would/should be elevated to actual legal authorities.

I disagree a slight bit. Doing something isn't saying "Ban people involved" but they can make an official statement on the matter. That's why I said again I'm curious if they will address it. I think ignoring it when they talk about their community kinda puts them bad light in the sense that it seems like they're ignoring it. I mean they talk about the community and activities their game has influenced, I don't think it's right to have it both ways - where you don't at least state something when there are bad aspects that result as well.

As far as taking actions for players, I again state and hope that maybe they do have a special task force of GMs more qualified to handle a sensitive matter. I think goes a long way, I mean it makes it look like they are looking a bit more at ways to know a player can talk with someone more qualified to handle this - than just a volunteer/regular player that happens to work for them. I don't expect them to get too involved when its outside the game, but staying silent and pretending it doesn't happen when you know this is a game that has a very chatty community in the game and out of it - isn't helpful.

HOWEVER, I do want them to take their time if they do present a statement, which as I said prior - I am sure they are.
