Why is the FF14 Community So Adverse to Banter?

[JohnLakeside]

Back when I played A LOT of Mythic+ in WoW, solo Holy Priest (healer), entirely through Group Finder with total randoms, during Shadowlands (despair), I had a macro button keybound to an easily accessible key and all it did was do a /laugh emote at whoever my target was. And female blood elf's /laugh voice? Quite loud and distinct.
And I used that every time on anyone who would die in my dungeon runs.

If I did that in this game, I think I'd get banned, lmao

Emoting on dead players is explicitly against ToS lol. So yeah, you would get suspended and then eventually banned if reported. That rule and chat being disabled between opponents is one of the reasons I don't bother with PvP much in FF14.
