If you don't like being target for violating TOS...how about don't violate the TOS?

I hope you report people for Sleeping in a hotel room with someone of the opposite sex or flying a kite in public or sweeping dirt into the street, because rules exist for good reasons.

The anti-parser rule exists for one reason, and one reason only. It's been stated by YoshiP. FFXIV doesn't have damage parsers because ONE celebrity got harassed with low numbers ONE time years and years ago, and therefore parsers are evil and toxic and should never be allowed in the game.

So clearly, if someone's using one and not harassing anyone with it, that means it's EvilBadWrong and must be stopped. Because its existence is the problem.

If it's against the rules I'll report. Not gonna change my stance on it.

ABNER, ABNER! Something strange is going on over at the Stevens' house!

Okay Gladys Kravitz. Keep poking that old lady with binoculars nose into other peoples' business. They're definitely ruining your gaming experience by having fun over there.

Why should they bother trying to change your mind?

Your opinion won't change and neither will ours.

As long as we don't end up raiding with you - you can't try to report and boot us from the game. It's a win-win. You don't deal with potential parsers and we don't deal with you.

You indirectly are confessing that you use third party tools.

Report me then - since you’re so eager to do so.

Impossible.

Someone - we all know who - literally made a new character for the explicit purpose of reporting me in-game and then whispered me about it.

At this point I'm throwing my hands up when it comes to the hardcore casuals.

Idk, I find it kind of sus. Like I understand you really dislike that person but you did edge them on to report.

Moments later you get a message from someone ingame? How do we know you aren't trying to frame this person and make them look worse? I mean it's clear you don't like them.

I should have screenshoted it. But I didn’t. And you’re right. It does sound suspect. But I’m not lying. Tbh. I was absolutely floored. I’ve never dealt with anyone on the forums doing that to me before. And there’s a reason that person suddenly stopped replying in this thread. :/

Edit; There are plenty of people on this forum I genuinely dislike. But throwing around false accusations is disgusting to me. As much as I despise hardcore casuals with every fiber of my being, I won’t accuse them of doing actions they did not do.

Actually. I have a way to prove my case. Because I googled the name immediately afterwards. Notice the timestamp.



Now. Look at this. I recall they were level 2 on Warrior.

Deleted. As soon as I made that accusation.

You're right, there is a reason why I stopped replying. I hit the daily limit for replying. It's very difficult to fend off accusations when you hit your allotted forum limit for the day.
But that wasn't me. It'd be hypocritical beyond belief for me to be all about the rules then turn around and break a different rule for harassing you. There is not a dang thing I could gain by contacting you in game. Not to mention, harassment is reportable. I wouldn't do something full well knowing I could get jailed over that. My best guess is it's some other forum rat that read the discussion and took it upon themselves to inflame the situation more. I am sorry that happened to you. Despite how things have gone between us, harassment is not something I tolerate.

Hilarious, saying I am "mentally ill" for not showing my FFLogs. It's actually quite disgusting and a totally inappropriate accusation when there are folks really struggling with mental illness. As these responses show, too many of you treat this GAME like it is a professional job. So maybe it is you all who need help? It truly is sad how your lives revolve around DPS numbers and high-end content like you're getting paid for it.

Mental refers to your ability to function under pressure, and to keep your emotions under control. Tackling something like Ultimate or Savage content takes strong mental, because you have to be able to deal with being wiped or wiping the party 10-17 minutes into a complex fight, without letting it tilt you and affect subsequent pulls.

Someone like you, who can't discuss the concept of visible DPS numbers without emotionally flying off the handle, just doesn't fit into that kind of environment. People tend to want rational and mature players. No one wants to deal with someone who holds the group back, but is too volatile to approach about the problem. People don't even want to deal with that type of player in casual content either.

You indirectly are confessing that you use third party tools.

Raiding no matter if it is in Mythics, Ultimates or Savages in WoW or in FFXIV, takes a special kind of skill and mentality to do so. Those people who whine about Mods, who whine about DPS meters and DPS marks that have to be meet in raids are those I hope I never ever run into; at least in my raids I don't. They desire nothing but to be carried, They usually don't want to contribute to the raid but just to be carried by everyone else.

Guys stop arguing with these Witch-Hunters. Telling people they are indirectly confessing to using Mods and third party tools, when they have NOT CONFESSED THEY DO, IS WITCH-HUNTING. Go get a life and quite trying to figure out who is doing what on their own computer. Just enjoy the game and stop being a nosey Karen.

Why would I attempt to change a mind that's already proudly closed? You don't have a logical reason why it's against the rules, other than "because it's against the rules".

People who tattle on other people for victimless offenses that don't affect them in the slightest are obnoxious busybodies. And I'm not going to change my stance on that.

So you're being condensing to me for disagreeing? How in what way is that acceptable behavior? You're trying to school me but are being kind of a jerk about it.
