Is Pyromancer getting a perm ban for having Dalamud?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

IT's not going well.

He started off accepting his actions as bad, but he said he's copyright striking people because they're misrepresenting him and "made in poor taste" quote

He's abusing the system for copyright because he doesn't like what they're saying. Openly admitted.

It's now him reading ADHD symptoms to explain his actions.

I mean. He CAN get sued for that, as it's not legal to use dmca in that way. He's opening up a can of worms lol....

As someone that plays both on PC and PS5, he sure wasn't winning me to his side by insulting people that play on console. (I strictly played on PS4 until Shb) And I don't dislike the guy, I've enjoyed watching his streams going through the MSQ in the past and follow him on Twitch. But perhaps don't imply that we aren't capable of raiding because we don't have plugins, a high refresh monitor, above 60 fps, etc. I'm working on my 3rd Ultimate right now and I freely switch between PC and PS5 just because playing my PS5 on my couch is cozy.

Yea I don't think anyone involved is going to take it to that point, but yes regardless of anything that is blatantly using youtubes act first question later system to abuse a legal thing on the basis of "protecting" himself, which is part of what he said

"I am going to use the tools available to me to protect myself"

Was about to comment that, video creators take DMCA abuse very seriously and if someone with a bigger viewership takes a hold of this... It's going to get fun, lmao.

I think someone else (who's entire post history is about this topic) regaling other people's words in their own scope isn't ever going to be good for the person in question. I'd recommend those interested to watch the stream and weigh in for yourself. I'm not going to condone or condemn the active stream. Pyro's got to stand on his own feet and move forward from this point and see if he can redeem himself in other's eyes. One secession talking about it isn't going to resolve one way or another on people's views of his attitude.

I'm going to wrap up my end of this part as we're past speculation point.

They should, dont use these things..

Yeah I'm newer to FF14 and I haven't participated in the forums until today, because I watched the full stream yesterday and have the full context so it was relevant to me and I felt like commenting

Trying to "subcomment" me about that as if it somehow discredits me inherently as if having a varied post history would change that is weird



Yes everyone should watch his stream if they want context from his mouth. As long as he doesn't delete it.

I challenge you to find something I said that you think is misrepresented, I've recorded this verbatim so I can show you if you think so.

would mass reporting someone still be acceptable if they were nicer?

irrelevant.
The report still needs to be investigated.
Mass reporting only brings it to attention faster.
It doesn't decide guilt or innocence.

What you're saying absolutely SHOULD be the case, but it's unlikely that the number of reports has no affect on the decision and/or punishment.

If 1 person sends a report for something questionable, then you can largely ignore it and just have 1 angry person either way. If 100 people send a report on something questionable then if you ignore it you have 100 angry people. If you deal with it, you have 1 angry person.

You can't ignore something that hundreds of people report like you can 1-2 people.

is he getting banned for having a handwritten notebook full of notes and lore? it's not first-party, outside of the game, and makes it easier to enjoy...

You think that you have a point but you don't at all and what you're saying is a perfect example why a lot of the screeching about this is very hard to take seriously and why so much of this is just reaching like hell just to be mad about something.
What you're talking about doesn't interact with the game in any way, it's the same with Discord which I've seen others bring up as an argument.
Discord in no way interacts with the game itself, it's a third party software that is completely separated from the game.

Using ACT to actually interact with the game and make mechanics more easy to resolve is essentially cheating and it's directly interacting with the game.

The UI thing? Probably harmless. While it -is- a 3rd-party, I feel people are missing the mark a tad.

While yes, there are people who got banned (temporarily) for using ACT (Which Se has gone on record several times to say Dont Use It. and people deciding not to listen, that alone is smackable purely to prove a damn point..) there are also others that got banned for actively harmful stuff. Though not to players, but to the game.

Like the one person who actively data-mined and found the "hidden" mechanics in the DSR fight. Then strapped that to a bot to get it to play audio ques when said hidden mechanics come out, actively changing the fight by giving a tell when you shouldn't be getting one.

This is similar to why we are now forced to put markers down pre-pull and cannot move them when in combat. SE is finally showing their hand that stuff like that is not okay. Period. End of sentence. No ifs, ands or buts, no. None. Zero. We were given enough chances.

People already showed that being "Warned" about their naughty behavior doesn't bother them. If you know what you're doing is against ToS, yet you continue to do it and even decide to broadcast it to the public that you are doing so then frankly, you're in no real position to complain about being slapped for it. To be honest I'm surprised it took this long.

I actually do think that Pyro has advertised addons before, I am like 95% sure I've heard him do it on Stream when asked about it which IS something they do take action against.
It's one of the things Yoshida even brought up that if you choose to use them then don't advertise them to others.

Which if he was so gung-ho on getting people banned like people seem to think I dunno why he'd give that advise.
