Abuse of the TOS. Loophole regarding griefing/trolling. Needs a solution.

They'd be able to see that they were spamming emotes and fireworks.

If it's enough of an issue and it keeps happening, it'll be dealt with.

This. Even if they have their emotes unable to be displayed in chat the GM's can take a look at the logs and see what they were doing. If this happens I absolutely recommend reporting the offenders.

XIV is a game not an RP simulator. No game violation, no issues. Also you know you can turn other players effects off right? Right? Please tell me I'm right...

You do realize they gave us an RP tag because they acknowledge the huge amount of roleplayers in this game right? This also still qualifies under harassment if it happens multiple times. No differently than if people sought out a crafter or other player and spammed at them any chance they got.

The fact you got an RP tag simple acknowledges your existance. It doesn't go further than that. People spam flashy skills all the time in all sorts of busy spots. HW were DRGs pole dancing all over Idylshire that was the hot thing.

Following the person out of the zone though? At that point if it truly happened it's not just 'happening to be in the same place'.

Yoshida has repeatedly mentioned Roleplayers in the past, and even spoke of many quality of life changes with roleplayers in mind. He has personally said that he wanted to implement more RP friendly changes because of the roleplayers and wanted to make them happy. At this point Yoshi sees us as a legitimate member of the community and just as important to the overall health of the game as any other player. So you're wrong, dead wrong even.

People roleplaying in a game that has RP in the game's genre, who'da thunk it.

In response to Momomi, since I'm not sure how to do the white quotation thing yet...that's if the trolls in question don't turn off their emotes prior to engaging in them.

Edit: If the mods can still see emotes despite them being disabled, that's one good thing. But still not enough in a situation I'm talking about.

Another thing is, I'm afraid this issue isn't going to affect enough people to the point it makes a big of a stir for Enix to even turn their heads. It's just annoying because I feel like a lot of people might not fully understand until it happens to them or if they're not in the RP scene.

When you're trying to have a writing session with someone but can't even see the person because a literal mob of trolls have gathered together to obscure your screen, then insist on following you until you leave the area, making sure not to utter -anything- in chat that can be used against them to prove they're harassing someone--it's just not right to me.
