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

I am actually SUPER annoyed when 2 people stand next to each other spaming "cuddle" emotes. Like yeah, we get it, you looooveee each other, now stop spaming my chat with BS.

I am one of those people who really dislike Role Playing and think it should be limited to /tell so that I don't have to be bothered.

That's not roleplay....

whatever it is, as soon as you use your cartoon figure in a video game to represent yourself I consider it role playing. Like a 3D Chatroom.

Most roleplayers don't self insert though? It's primarily a cooperative writing exercise for most people. And those that do self insert are generally blacklisted because of all the potential messes that come with that kind of territory.

Regardless I'm sorry you had to deal with that Dolly. I had a similar experience with the 'crouching' emote trolling when I first started playing the game and had attended my first roleplaying event here on Balmung. Back then it was easy to ignore because it was just two idiots trying to get a rise out of a group of thirty or more people who eventually left when they didn't get their way. I can't imagine having people actively follow me around like that and doing it more than once at that.

Thank you. Ultimately, it's not like I don't know how to adapt to make sure these situations don't happen to me anymore. The thing is, that involves being ran out of public areas just to write in peace. And that is just so darn wrong and unfair to me. While it's true the best option when dealing with a troll is to walk away, leaving public areas is exactly what they want. So in a way? Moving else where to RP means they "won" in my eyes. But it's like, eh, what can you do? They're on the verge of being untouchable in such cases if they're smart enough. It's a messy situation with a niche amount of people who have to deal with it. But I'll try to figure out something. Because one person can't get Enix to change their TOS, or implement a feature. It's not realistic and I understand.

A shame really, how even in 2000+19 people don't know how RP works. Dante's Inferno was just a self insert fanfic and no one calls it out as such. RP is co-op writing where people play a role. It happens all the time in, ya know, theater. :eyeroll:

What happened to the OP is reportable, the effectiveness however is muddy and that sucks. I reported someone who actually followed my friend and I outside the zone, chased us across N. Thanalan, spammed emotes and never got a suspension. Said person was openly toxic in /shout and I mean this with no fragility. I mean actually insulting people by name with slurs. Still nada. I know GMs cant tell us what happens to a person, but it feels like its useless when we don't know what's going on.
