Holy now a bannable spell.

Think the GM's need to be educated on the difference between spamming chat logs and abilities. Though I agree spamming Holy the brightest and loudest spell IS annoying, it's not on the same page of the ToS of spamming. Probably would of given a warning instead of a account penalty.

First, there is no difference between spamming chat or abilities. Spamming is spamming. If I repeatedly used an audible emote but hid the chat log message, that’s still spam and the only feasible reason I would be standing in town doing that would be to annoy others.

Second, he got a suspension instead of a warning because his account must have a history of reprimands. SE has always used an escalation system for punishment. A minor offense my get you a warning. Repeated minor offenses might get you a permanent ban, because you clearly don’t know how to learn a lesson. If SE is giving him a three day vacation “just” for spamming, you can pretty much guarantee he’s done time or received warnings before this. He can play the victim all he wants but the evidence speaks for itself.

White Mages reaching a new level of forbidden magic with this development.

On the other hand, why defend spamming?

Then I'll be reporting people for spamming crafting in cities.

See how silly it is now? Holy doesn't spam. You can lower your battle effects for "others" to just simple setting and not even see the Holy graphics.

A. crafting is an actual productive thing, you're making something.

B. If you followed someone around just to spam random crafting sounds that might count anyway.

C. Holy, meanwhile, there's no reason to continually spam other than be annoying.

D. Turning off spell effects doesn't affect sounds. Also you can't remove the sounds and spell effects of the person spamming without affecting everyone. The choice shouldn't have to be 'deal with spammer or cut out EVERYONE'S things when everyone else areound ISN'T spamming.

You can put gil sellers on ignore does that mean they shouldn't be reported and banned either?

Please do report people for crafting in cities. LMAO I'm sure the GMs would be LTAO with us at you.

Yes, holy doesn't spam but people spam the hell out of holy for no reasons in cities then to annoy or troll people. How the hell you going to ask everyone around that person to go change their settings instead of that one person just stop doing it? What kind of logic is that.

If you are being harassed or abused by crafters, then by all means report them. If you are not being harassed crafters, then I don't recommend it but I can't stop you. It is your right to report crafters for crafting but you will have to take responsibility for your actions.

No I don't, you're comparing an action of ill intent to an action with no ill intent. It is silly to defend people maliciously spamming.

I was just over at the materia vendor in eulmore. I can just imagine SE banning all of them. That would be hilarious.

If they want to ban their own NPC materia vendors, that's fine by me. Materia as a mechanic has been a huge waste of time, I won't shed a tear of all the vendors disappear.

How many more times are people going to show up and make the wildly false equivalence of crafting vs spamming Holy in town? If any of you aren't just being contrarian and you truly believe those things to be anywhere near equal, there's no helping you.

[Kewitt]

Ya I don't think that's right, you can turn off the effect if you don't want to see it and blacklist the person.. a ban doesn't seem fair.

Also... Does this mean I can report people for spamming attacks in a dungeon?
