Forcing the Loot Timer Down: Is This Harassment?

[TomTom1968]

I had a few chest trolls in parties as well. But they did it not to annoy the other players but because of Greed. Hoping somebody who rolled Need or Greed doesn't want to wait till the timer runs down so they can have it. Sadly there is no "acting like a jerk" reason for reporting lol. All you can do is to shake your head and to move on. Some folks and their oh so precious loot.....

Heya, got a quick story here.

I was going through Hullbreaker Isle with a couple of FC buddies in order to spiritbond some Amber Accessories for my Novus. The healer was the extra that the Duty Finder selected for us. The run started off pretty well, but then I started to disconnect. A lot. We managed to push our way through the instance, and we were singing the praises of this healer's patience with my inability to remain in-game for more than five minutes at a time.

When we finally managed to down the last boss, we opened the chest... and it had the Cuirass of the Divine War, which I immediately Need rolled on for glamour purposes. Given my likelihood of disconnecting again and therefore losing the right to the item, I asked the healer to please roll quickly while my FC friends left the instance to let me get the piece.

The healer asked me if it was for glamour, and I answered that it was. His reaction was to stand there and force me to wait out the loot timer for the item to automatically fall into my inventory. He did this knowing that I was likely to disconnect during this timer(therefore letting him have the item instead), and I can only consider it to be pure dumb luck that I managed to stay in the game for the duration of the entire timer.

My question is... is this a reportable offense? Could this be Harassment due to the potential of my disconnecting allowing for him to receive the item despite my Need roll?

An image of our in-game conversation is below, with names properly hidden.

Square-Enix , can i please report players that need for glamour only, for harassment?
Back in the days people rolled greed if they didnt really NEEEDED it , but still wanted it.
All this rolling need for glamour is pathetic, people even do it, when others with the same class, have worse armor.

not i80 gear. if you want your tank to get stronger, use your healer to farm myths and buy an i90 body piece. nobody who can farm myths Needs an i80 piece to use.

get some gil and buy an i90 crafted tank piece.

anything less than i90 is glamour and vanity only.

Actually your wrong I've seen multiple people myth farming in i55/i70 so even though temporary i80 is still a upgrade weather it's for main or alt

Clownshoes!

You know some people are new to game and don't have Alt Jobs or are VERY casual and only play enough to run a dungeon or 2 every few days. Not everyone can sit on their butts everyday for hours at t time to farm all the myth super fast and get that i90 Gear. So that i80 Piece would work just fine for them.

As far as people needing items for Desynth/Seals or Vanity, if you really want that piece for Vanity yourself or because its an upgrade for an alt Job, THEN PLAY THE DAMNED JOB THAT NEEDS IT and roll need.

With all the new stuff in game ( Desyth for example ) needing on that i80 piece for leveling Desyth is just a valid reason to need as someone wanting to greed for an alt Job.

People are rolling Need because 9.9/10 times boss chests will drop Filtered Water, Minium, Cooking Sherry and the Whetstone.
