Why is the FF14 Community So Adverse to Banter?

[Sunhwapark]

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.

Yeah, I remember there was some time where you could use those festive items so people would pop open the champagne bottle over a corpse in Frontlines, I think it's disabled now though. People still do the /sweep and other nonsense emotes though despite the fact that we instantly revive upon dying nowadays, I cringe a bit when I happen to see when someone on the team doing that to someone else.

I don't really mind it when it happens to a player who was literally asking for it by chasing one dude across the map only to end up swarmed by the rest of the enemy team at spawn. I can't count the number of arrogant melee (usually a NIN or MNK) who end up in the dust pan, lol.

Then again, there was also a time when I thought it was dumb that we didn't have chat in Crystalline Conflict ...but now I yearn for the day when its disabled in Rival Wings and Frontlines because most of the time its just people shouting over and countermanding each other. Might as well make the usual "pings" into chat commands like CC and call it a day.
