Can we use ACT to recognize who is griefing the party and report them afterwards?

You have 2 choices here

Ask them to AoE and if they don’t ...

1. Kick them or leave yourself
2. Just continue the dungeon at a slower pace

NOTHING is forcing you to stay in the dungeon. Not even the other people. If it’s too slow leave. Watch tv for 30 minutes. Do crafting. Forcing yourself to stay is dumb

I don’t even talk in groups anymore outside of a greeting and goodbye macro I made. Way too many people getting their underwear in a bunch that it isn’t worth the time

I can't read this as anything but a troll post.

Seems we're getting a lot of these lately. Lets use illegal 3rd party software to report people. Like seriously. Maybe we need a linkshell to hunt them down and report them too. :P

It's going to be some long long months til the expansion drops lol

It most certainly will be. May the Twelve have mercy on us all.

The janitors will always side with the toxic casuals, kicking them is all you can do, one of the many reasons you should never queue for anything alone, always have a friend to back you up.

I'm getting big Discord moderator vibes from some of these post. Spooky.

I just had a run with a dragoon who has 7 classes at level 80 but for some reason refused to do any AoE in a level 66 dungeon and the sprout blm was dealing more damage to the bosses despite failing her rotations. I appreciate that at least she is trying. The reason for the dragoon's poor performance I quote "I have a terrible headache^^". Why are you playing if you have a headache which is basically preventing you from playing and ruins the experience for other players? What purpose does the "^^" at the end serve? To indicate that you are trolling your party and happy because you think I can't do anything about it? Like seriously. His behaviour is disruptive and this is against ToS and hopefully, the GM who is going to be investigating the case will deem it as such as well.

Is it allowed to say things like "at the last pull I(gnb) used only Keen Edge and Brutal Shield and still did more DPS than the dragoon" in the report? Can we use the data from the ACT to validate a report and prove our points?

Troll or not next time boot them.

I wish. I would've reported so many no dps healers if that was allowed.

And every GM would likely laugh at your pettiness.

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Yes, you can recognize them easier.
Yes, you can definitely report them.
The interesting part that I'd like to know is whether or not such report would backfire & rewards you a trip straight to Mordion Gaol.

Fun aside...
(Probably) offer them a friendly advice if they want any, or vote dismiss them, or bail out.

[Laphicet]

Yes, you can file a report, so long as you avoid mentioning the use of ACT and can explain their griefing in other means.

However, in order for them to actually be breaking the rules they either have to be actively hindering the group and admitting to it via an in-game text channel, or they have to be doing next to nothing and be borderline AFK or straight up AFK. You're not likely to see any results unless one of the two criteria are met.

Believe me, if people could face GM punishment for intentionally freestyling or refusing to DPS as healer, or other fundamental stuff that technically isn't against the rules, then the community would probably be a bit better at this game overall. But such is not the case.


Honestly, if the other party members are sandbagging and I'm feeling petty, myself, sometimes I'll stoop to that level too if the others aren't listening. Doing things like spamming a ranged move/going cd-less on a tank or becoming a fencer when playing RDM. Obvious things that technically aren't griefing but are noticeably the wrong way to play your class. And if called out on it just use any similar arguments used against you before. or even better say nothing at all so they have no evidence to use against you.
If everyone else is gonna make the run hell for you, and refuses to improve or at least try to improve, then what's the harm in a little trolling or equal medicine.
