Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[kaynide]

Right, right, and the people reporting me for "griefing" aren't acting out of spite. The players reporting others for "profanity" (cursing), aren't acting out of spite. Give me a break. I don't know if people know this, but there is a thing called 'sarcasm'.

I mean, they might not actually be reporting you out of spite- which is what a large chunk of us are trying to tell you. Certain things you have claimed to do are specifically AGAINST the ToS. I have bolded some of it for your reference.

Your stance has been "I have done nothing wrong" and really should be "If I did something wrong, I will try to not do those things from now on".

It's really not hard to look up the ToS and specifically see what could be the problem.

ToS:
(link: https://support.na.square-enix.com/f...6&id=5382&la=1)

Intentional leaving or disconnection:
(This is a little bit more open, since it's not clear if it only applies to actual DC or just leaving the instance.)

Refers to the act of obstructing another person's gameplay by intentionally leaving the game or disconnecting from the server.
Key Points
Since the game relies on internet connectivity, it is inevitable that there will be network disconnections or real-life circumstances which prevent you from playing the game. As such, simply disconnecting or remaining inactive in the game will not result in a penalty.

However, if a report is filed, a penalty will be issued if the following types of situations are confirmed to be occurring repeatedly:

Occurs right after entering a duty
Occurs when progress is not going well in a duty
Occurs when the team is about to be defeated in PvP

Even if there was no intention to interfere with others, repeated occurrences can be a nuisance to others. If you are experiencing network instability, or if you are frequently unable to play due to real-world circumstances, be considerate of others by refraining from participating in the duty/content, taking into account that you may unintentionally cause issues for others.

Please note that Square Enix may conduct investigations and issue a penalty in its discretion even if a report has not been filed if the act was confirmed publicly through online video, streaming services, or other means.

Aiding the enemy / Uncooperative behavior / Lethargic behavior:
(Not healing, and by extension raising, another player because you don't like their getting hurt/dying)

Refers to an act of performing actions that give an advantage to an enemy (monsters, or the opposing team/players in PvP content) by not performing the necessary gameplay required of the situation. This may be combined with combat sabotage as well.
Key Points
Each player has a different level of skill, and in some cases, there may be a situation where the duty/content will fail. From the perspective of a skilled player in such a situation, a less skilled player may appear to be "adversarial/uncooperative/apathetic," but even if this is the case, it is not a violation as long as the player is playing appropriately.

For example, the following types of situations fall under the act of giving an advantage to the enemy (or the opposing team/players in PvP content):

"I don't want to heal because there is a player I don't like in the group."
"I don't think we can clear this anyway, so I'll just get hit by the enemy attack and go AFK after I'm knocked out."
"I'm going to join the opposing team as a healer and do nothing so my friends on the other team can win the PvP content."

If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.

Please note that Square Enix may conduct investigations and issue a penalty in its discretion even if a report has not been filed if the act has been confirmed publicly through online video, streaming services, or other means.

Note they've made it clear this list is non-exhaustive, and that the things you are doing skirt very close to the above listed.

Again, as I've said, I hope your attempts to get closure on this go well, but please do accept there is a very strong possibility your warning was well earned.
