Can we point out to how bad it is that SE bends the knee to chan brigades?

[MonsutaMan]

this is a jp game, smoking pot will land you in jail

They cant prove you were actually smoking pot.

it's already been a precedent

Hotdang, im only halfway through but that is seriously beyond effed up! I cant say this improves anything.... X-x but would explain certain accounts coming out of the woodworks atm on this forum defending current events.

What's entertaining me this week is the self-appointed Gladys Kravitzes in the NA forums, squawking "ABNER, ABNER! Someone is using a DIRTY PLUGIN to fix a controller bug! It's BREAKING THE LAW! Call the police!"

Maybe we should start mass-reporting all the Limsa bards who play copyrighted music in blatant violation of the ToS, since the ToS Police are all hot-and-bothered about those dirty, dirty scofflaws breaking the rules.

(Cue goalpost-moving from the self-appointed ToS Police about how "that's totally different" in three...two...one...)

It seems no one thinks that ignore the report of people using not allowed software is more dangerous in the long term, as it will encourage the use, a thing that SE doesn't want.

Yes, how terrible it is that people might use...(checks notes)...a mod that adds chat bubbles to the game? Eh, that's what it says here. Clearly chat bubble mods, GShade, and BDTH will bring about the Eighth Umbral Calamity.

Then explain why they don't go after all the various obvious fate, eureka, crafting, housing etc etc bots that have been reported over the years?

Spoiler: It's likely because they weren't reported in the sort of numbers that 5ch are throwing.

It raises two issues here:

A) And this is a big one. A 'crime' should be handled accordingly to it's severity. Not by how many people are shouting and screaming for 'justice'.

B)The punishment seems pretty excessive, not only to the streamer themselves, but the rest of their DSR team that's now basically had their progression reset or put on pause for 10 days and even the community that's following their progress.

The Lottery system and way to transfer FC's to others has changed to an insane degree in 6.1, some issues but those are fixed next week.

Well, that, and the bots add to their active accounts numbers to better sell their "over 12 million players" hype...

It's the reason why I'm so angry at this. I hope people realize that most of us making a noise are concerned with WITCH HUNTS over personal mods that affect no one else. People are not upset that mods are against the ToS.

I agree. It is beyond rediculous. I think I pointed out some time ago in another thread that it would be the community that would be the death of the game. And these things make it come true.

One thing to keep in mind is that the GMs are egregiously out-of-touch with the needs of the playerbase, even compared to the devs themselves. They're likely responding in a borderline robotic fashion to mass reporting, independent of any context.

This is not a defense of them- quite the opposite- but it's not so much "bending the knee" as much as it is them effectively functioning on autopilot because they don't know how to parse (heh) so many reports.

[dapperfaffer]

Ban them all.
