    Almost all of the people blocking him were brand new sprouts. Just his own community that made a lot of trial accounts to crowd around him.

    How can I be sure they were new? Their names would be quickly reported if they had been playing long and most of their names contained a play on his name.

    It doesn't really reflect on the FF community at all.

    I don't see how a sprout who isn't even doing the MSQ themselves could block someone who is from doing it to that extent, however I can definitely see high level players one shotting his quest mobs or people who made alts with mogstation mounts stand on his quest objectives.

    Having a sprout doesn't mean much (I have it on several characters...) and the ordeal absolutely does reflect on the XIV community.

    Having a sprout means a lot because it means they are new characters. The names of those characters proved they are new characters and you could see the names because they were spamming friend invites.

    A sprout can block others by reaching the area limit of 300 instead of going about their day doing their own things where their quest is, so that others cannot enter the area. They could very easily not crowd the area waiting because their quests direct them out of the city pretty quick.

    There were no mounts to begin with, because he hadn't even left the city, and couldn't even leave the tutorial area.

    Lot of people in here trying to say to "embrace the bad part of the community" or that "the bad part is the entire community" but like, it's best to completely shun the bad parts of the community so that the bad parts aren't there anymore. Like, if someone's transphobic, racist, pedophilic, or anything else like that, I'd hope we'd all agree that they don't belong, right? You don't just "accept that they're there, because there'll always be people like that". You just oust them! Get rid of them! They are not welcome in a welcoming community!

    And because there are people who are calling people gatekeepers over this: y'all touch some grass, you can't be tolerant of intolerant beliefs like racism and transphobia.

    If someone displays any of the isms in the game make sure to report them definitely. However it is not your place to be the arbiter of who is and isn't acceptable to be a part of the community, and I will report any person who griefs others in their misguided attempts to appoint themselves spokesperson and gatekeeper FOR our community. You are not either of those things.

    So... Are you saying that racism is an acceptable part of the community? Cause you're causing a little confusion here. You agree that these things should be reported, but... then also try to say that we can't say that people aren't allowed if they're very clearly perpetrators of these things. Am I understanding right?
