GMs needed to clear out the Limsa Marketboard area

[Junepi93]

Tonight the weeaboo police spam was so bad it actually started to make my ps5 fan roar. Just dozens of them spamming dance emotes blocking everyone who enjoys the space there. Just ridiculous that blatant in your face griefing like this is even tolerated.

Just thought I'd update saying yes this problem is still here, and yes it's only worse.

SE needs to bring back the afk timer or stop the free trial. We pay monthly. These bots don't. Why are they allowed to harm our experience?

[Junepi93]

It appear they are gone!? Is it over??

They weren't always on Sargatanas, so probably not.

But hey, afking in Limsa was never a crime to begin with.

As far as I'm concerned botting and afking with the sole purpose to interfere with other players experience there is a "crime".

Regardless glad those eyesores are gone.

I dunno, I don't find them particularly worse than the massive crowds of half naked female characters doing the Bee's Knees dance on a loop.

[Uh-oh-stinky]

I too like getting mad about problems that don't exist.

Yesterday there was a big group of Lalafells playing music, people dancing, shooting fireworks, whatever it may be. It was far more enjoyable than a bunch of half naked "police" afk doing nothing for the sole purpose of removing these kinds of moments. It's ffxiv, there are going to be half naked catgirls. That's the game lol.

Should point out, the "spokesman" or leader of the weebo police is blatantly racist, crude, and unpleasant - among other things.
(That one used shout chat so there is at least one subbed character among the rabble.)
The lalafells fled because he's verbally attacking them, and anyone else he doesn't approve of, on top of interfering with gameplay.

Had I known I could report it in game, back when I saw his first vile posts, I would have. As is I only have him blacklisted and dare not undo that simply to catch another tirade.
I have characters I actively play on multiple servers, and NA DCs, and I have run into this issue on all of them.

[Faveus]

I blacklisted all of them when the feature came out. I haven't seen them since.
