Holy now a bannable spell.

[Wavaryen]

Its the principle behind the action that is raising eyebrows. If we take the OP at their word (and mind you I typically dont most times cause it's usually a case of someone doing a lot more than something innocuous that results in the ban) Someone literally reported and got someone suspended for using an action in the game because they found it annoying. The issue here isnt about the mechanics of hte spell, if its in the right spot or not, or anything of that nature. Its purely about "This action annoyed me, so I reported and they got suspended." If you take this logic and play it out, it means any action is bannable. Dont like someone using their emotes: Banned. Dont like someone doing crafting actions: Banned. Dont like people playing music using the bard action: Banned.

And why not? Afterall, all these actions can be considered annoying and be subject to a ban. And how can you argue against it because the precedent was set. It gets more problematic because now people with bad intentions can justifiably abuse the report function for their own fun. Let's not beat around the bush here, there are plenty of players who would get a kick of getting someone else suspended and a few who would actively seek out players to suspend.

This is the problem. Youre saying it's justified is overly simplistic about the nuance of this having repercussions down the road for other players.

Because you got to look behind intent of said action.

If you are playing said song, the music was added for players to play said music for themselves and others. So that action is deemed acceptable.


Spamming Holy in the city. Does not fall into that area. Because that spell is used for combat, and that area combat is not needed.
