Extreme over correction in ToS? New ToS is going to kill pugging

[Iscah]

Gentle indirect speech like "let's all check if our gear is in order" when one person is making the mistake is something I'd only expect to hear from a kindergarten teacher. It's condescending. It also doesn't tell me if I am the one who has to improve.

Again it does depend exactly what you're trying to convey. Having a conversation about what specific gear melds you need does require a more in-depth conversation with the one person than a "do X when Y happens" instruction that doesn't need to be explored further.

From what im gathering if you post your criticism in the form of a suggestion your fine basically don't demand change or tell others what to do juat suggest a change after that its up to them to decide to take the criticism or not it really just boils down to do you like being told what to do in a demanding way or in the form of a suggestion me personally id rather have a suggestion over a demand

I don't want to see this community turn to a carebare zone. I want this game to become like WoW where people are not afraid to express their opinions unless those opinions go against a certain country.

Being considerate of others is one of the requirements of being a decent human being. Sorry this concept seems so foreign to you.

No thank you. FFXIV can take a lot of things from WoW, like harder 4 man content, but their hands off moderation is not something I'd welcome.

Is it true you can get reported and banned for leaving a Dungeon finder party after “immediately“ joining it?

Is it true you can get reported and banned for leaving a Dungeon finder party after “immediately“ joining it?

Only if you do it repeatedly over a long period of time. Either way someone would have to report you and the devs would then check your record to see if it's a persistent thing. Also it's only for disconnections. Just leaving the instance all together has no penalty beyond the lockout timer.

Only if you afk or disconnect at the start

Leaving has its own penalty and is not affected.

More specifically `"It's [player name]'s fault that we wiped"`.

Instead of naming the player at fault, just say "Remember folks, we need to do X to avoid wiping on this fight.. The one that didn't do it should get the message without feeling targeted.

Do your best!

Did you actually read the first paragraph

“ Communication can take place in a variety of styles. As such, we do not prohibit specific words or sentences. Instead, we look at the whole picture in order to judge the intent and meaning of the communication, in conjunction with how the person on the receiving end perceived it, to determine whether or not the exchange falls under prohibited activities.”

IE, no your not going to get banned for simply correcting them, or asking a healer to DPS, politely. You will get kicked for being rude or obnoxious about it, which is fair.
