[Request] BLU concerns regarding toxicity - apply to rest of game

[BillyKaplan]

Player toxicity, as well as player stupidity, is ultimately a player-driven problem.

One the devs have acknowledged they take into consideration when designing new content. So they should be consistent in their approach.

They will find other ways to be stupid.

I already admitted this does nothing to take care of player skill - nothing short of SE endorsed bots will do that, and that won't happen.

Adding even more needless restrictions

"Needless"? Content is created and balanced with certain assumptions in mine. Shinryu is a good example, the devs expected people to have at least done their level 70 job quests so they had full 290 left side minus belt. That means a certain amount of vitality. That's what they based Shinryu's unavoidable damage attacks on. If an undergeared player dies to the stack marker when the entire party is stacked, they have no weakness, they have Protect and either an AST or SCH shield on them, then I find it hard to say it works as intended.
The only thing needless here is how much harder for everyone in the instance the fight now is because the healers need to take extra care of that player. Heaven forbids it's one of the healers themselves, or a tank.

the queuing system just locks us out of doing the things we want.

The queueing system already locks you out of doing things you want, until certain requirements are met. Those requirements already include a minimum ilvl for most roulettes - I simply request that this ilvl be modified based on what duties you can complete, which will be a given once all duties have their own min ilvl restriction.

If you're queuing with DF, you basically signed a contract saying "I will consent to play with whoever the hell the system puts me with, regardless of whether said person is an idiot."

The existence of the "leave duty" action says otherwise.

You can boot the player with the vote system

That is literally the scenario Yoshi-P described and said he wanted to avoid regarding BLU. So from the developers' standpoint, it is not acceptable. What I don't get is why they only care about it for BLU. It should apply anywhere, and that is what this thread is here to advocate.

Edit: I should clarify I am only really opposed to #1 and #4.

Content in the game is balanced around the assumption people have their soul crystals and subsequent job-locked skills. If you don't mind #2 and #3, you by definition also agree to #1, because they can't come without it.

I was also in a rush and didn't see the PF bypass. As long as it can be bypassed, go right ahead and restrict all you want

now if only we could do that to the MSQ cutscenes...
