Inspecting other players should send that player a warning/message

[Cincierta]

Harassers get off of bullying people like me. This thread is completely worthless now thanks to these bullies. Inspecting players is the #1 gateway to harassment and victims need to know when they are inspected so that they can get ready. They want to derail this thread so that victims don't dare to talk about their experience here.

The feature I am requesting is already a third party plugin so it means that people DO want it to prevent bullying. It's too bad that most victims of bullying are told to shut up so they won't request features like these openly, but I won't be silenced, because I'm a lion and I roar.

Not sure if you saw my reply near the start of the thread, but having SE install the notification of being inspected would get really spammy really quick. I had to deal with it in FF11 on their Shiva servers when I managed to make it to Jeuno for the first time. Every. 5. Seconds.

"XYZ inspects you"
"ABC inspects you"
"123 inspects you"
"456 inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"789 inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"DEF inspects you"
"DEF has sent you a party invite"
Declined.
"DEF has sent you a party invite"
Declined.
"DEF has sent you a party invite"
Declined.

Being on a healer in the open world was rare in 11 way back then, Beastmaster even more so. I actually had to sift through their archaic system to filter out the unnecessary spam.

Out of curiosity, did you apply for a savage PF and didn't read the party info, got inspected, told that you didn't have said gear, and were booted from the party? If so you kind of brought this upon yourself. That's the kind of vibe I'm getting from your original post.

So? Just make it a chat log option so you can turn it off. Common sense.

Also why are you even inspecting people's gear in the first place? Booting someone after inspecting their gear proves that inspection is a method of harassment, thanks for proving my point.

I wasn't inspecting others' gear, people were inspecting me. The spam in FF11 was atrocious, and I'd thought you'd actually understand what I wrote. Now I'm even more curious if you actually did indeed apply for a savage static and didn't meet the requirements and came here to vent.

No wonder your Axolotl mount rant went viral to the point of being meme'd on other platforms.

I was going to take a jab at you for responding for obvious bait, but your analysis of your personal experience with this sort of system in action is quite insightful, thank you for sharing!

Their example should also make it painfully obvious why this has been abandoned in FFXIV. It was a system that just made unnecessary awkward situations at best, or rude interactions at worst. Entirely unnecessary.
