Examines you.

Don't have much to say on JP-ONRY, was rude at times but sometimes I could understand.

Like in YoshiP's last interview he mentions how Japanese players still needs to breakthrough the language barrier, there are many out there not wanting to speak English. They learn English in school (not fluent but enough to start learning more) so I'm sure it will work out but some rather just stick with their own language group so they have JP-ONRY in their search comment. Some were just trying to be rude though.

I know some going to say but NA players are willing to play with anyone! I understand that well being half JP/NA myself. Again it's JP culture stuff... some are open just like NA players, while some are still having trouble breaking through just yet. My linkshell (Me, my wife + others) was trying to help those JP players try to learn English in XI while NA players can learn JP, was a cool LS overall. Miss all the LS members, I know some are on this forums, some I talk to on FB

LOL "JPONRY"... We use that in my LS to mean Abaddon only. :P

haha... Years ago in XI, I remember when someone complained that our party sucks and unskilled that made him mad and left. So he threw 'JP ONLY' in his search comment even he can't speak Japanese. xD

I remember that only one person getting upset using /check.

I was a Red Mage and I was rather puzzled because I was admiring his gear.

So so I went around the corner casted Invisible and Sneak and continued to examine him. I could tell he was trying to find me. It was quite funny. Still never understood why people would get upset.
I can appreciate RPing, but people that take it personal are just weird. It's a virtual bunch of pixels.

I remember someone said that on allakazham somewhere and got trouble by GMs... ouch that's hurt... >.<
I am not offended by 'jponry' but was offended by English speakers when they were against Japanese..

Self-esteem of Asians can be bad and also can get feelings hurt easily.

I'm disgusted with anyone who would say such ugly, uncalled for BS like that. What their native language is doesn't mean a thing to me. It goes without saying that every country has their fair share of online gangsters and douches.

I want this back in, so people silly enough to get upset over something so meaningless get over it. Seriously, this was by far one of the dumbest things I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing in a video game. You're getting checked whether it tells you or not buddy.

[Andrien]

I don't need to be notified if someone check me or not. I'll just turn the notification off since it serves no purpose in my humble opinion. it just takes up a line in the chat log space.

Back in the ToAU era my friend seeked on his brd before he went to sleep and put NA Only in his comment, when he woke up he checked his log got a ton of tells from JPs, saying he was raciest, or to go home, pond over there, or GM call ect.
Apparently the JP don't like it when people put NA only in their comments.

Sadly, some people don't understand what JP is actually meaning.. People or just a language?

Yeah, NA isn't a language. =/

I'm not a big fan of the "<t> has examined you" text that plagued FFXI so no I rather not see it in FFXIV:ARR

[Warlock]

You must not play with many Americans I take it. It's not "taking it seriously", the wording of it could be seen pretty rude not the concept of checking out someone's gear. You have to ignore Warlock, he was over exaggerating greatly. The wording was "stares at you intently", not "feels you up" because that makes zero sense at all.

Since it's funny that in his fake example:

1. The JP player knew he was American without either speaking a word to each other.
2. Ignores the fact JP players actually use the examine system as well but tend to ask each other before hand, but not always.
3. Was likely that he talked shit about the JP player thus keying the person into knowing he's american.

Otherwise, it's oddly specific for a JP player to say "go die american" to a person that has no proof without something happening before hand. I have however seen plenty of Americans hop into the JP Tera beta telling the JP players to go to die to another atomic bomb.

I never said that for JPs it says "____ feels you up" ..i said that is the kind of offence they take when you /check them ..and yes one of them said that to me lol it was Titan server ..she sure was some extreme JP ..others only slapped you or shook their heads at you ..or as someone said they swapped gear ...i have no need to lie about it
