"Play XIV if(cont)" and"you have a responsibility to" are not statements that coexist

[Awha]

Well, I think that's the point. Toxic behavior creates a toxic environment, so a few "bad apples" will indeed ruin it for the rest as they become contaminated. Thus, a "scorched earth" policy might be needed.

That is the point that is dated we have tools to report those that violate the ToS. If someone is an asshole while using a parser report them and let the GM's sort it out, if someone is being toxic in chat report them and let GM's sort it out do not remove chat from PvP altogether.

It is unnecessary, imo and giving players better tools and open availability that allow them to improve I think would be a great benefit to the overall health of the community. Since as some said it may not be a lack of desire but a general lack of ingame feedback as to how one is performing.

Having enrage timers without parsing is weird to me. Granted I get things are different in Japan a group will either succeed together or fail to together from what I have been told generally they do not remove the problem player they either work with them to clear the content or disband the group. Though they probably will put said player on a black list or something afterwards. While I have never had to remove someone from content due to not being able to meet enrage timers since I normally run with my static I have been in discord when my friends have and it is always a silent kick no reason given cause they are afraid if getting reported. This mindset of being afraid of telling someone how they are performing is weird to me sure misinformation regarding the ToS and such things is the main factor but this general fear of parsing also does not help.

The grey area is nice and all but it is the lazy way to go about it. Either enforce it 100% or allow it 100% if they want an all or nothing approach in terms of the ToS I wish they would just enforce it uniformly.
