Updates to the Prohibited Activities in FINAL FANTASY XIV and Account Penalty Policy

I have only read the first page at this point but it was enough for me to realize that due to all the outrage, there is truth to the stereotype of games being completely inept at how to talk to another human being properly and respectfully. After reading about these changes and watching some videos on them, I came into this thread expecting there to be outrage about not being able to sell clears. Instead, people are genuinely more upset about having to behave like a decent human being. Talk to people in game the way you would a strange in real life. Its that simple.

Oh that was completely predictable. You can expect people on this forum to be like this. They can't simply be nice. They have to be negative and behave the way they do, that's why they believe they can't talk ingame.

It’s not about being nice. So many people can be nice. It’s really not hard. It’s more to do with how sensitive some people are. The examples listed on the actual page suggest you can’t be critical at all. When you can’t even say a mechanic has to be done a certain way. When you need to ask permission to try something other than the wrong way. Read it. Don’t just assume everyone has a chip on their shoulder.

They already had rules similar to these, and people didn't get banned so easily in practice. Not everyone is the kind of overly sensitive person that would report you for anything. The report functionality is so out of your way, at least for me it's more bothersome to report someone than to deal with it and move on. I don't think people suddenly are in danger, things will be mostly the same. And good stuff came out of this, like pf being more clear of the rmt posts and people having more protection from stalkers.

Oh and apparently its now also another thread about tanks pulling too much/too little and going too fast/too slow.
