Abusing the Trade feature to interrupt, etc

[Argyle_Darkheart]

Trade troll spotted.

Sorry, but I'm not so immature as to think every slight deserves such an indignant response.

People need to chill out, take a deep breath, and think whether their offenders really deserve their outrage.

Yes, they're having a laugh at your expense. Do the GMs need to come in and sort your feelings out for you? I don't think so (for everyone's sake).

If the issue persists, of course, that's a different, more personal, level of harassment.

I don't care for your sob stories, and I think you're inflating the issue.

Permanent suspension is a serious punishment, and should be reserved for only the most dire of issues.

Then how about a week long ban?
No ida what makes people act like dicks to each other, but there should be some punishment for it.

Actually, if the permanent suspension was used more most MMO communities would be purged of their idiots pretty quickly.

Ah, but you see in the 2009 Salvage Bans in FFXI it was simply duping gear that did nothing but save people time from farming the same remnant over and over...duping is an exploit but it wasn't 'dire enough' for SE to go:

"Nope, you dun goof'd after we warned you we're watching."

And laid the smack down, even on people considered 'key FFXI players' - Of course it made the news because a company dare not actually...ban players for breaking the rules, especially en mass. In all honesty, they need to man up like that again, it's almost guaranteed people would straighten up even if it lasts only a few months.

Also, stop saying it's immaturity - You steal a candy bar, you're stealing, it's not ok because "it's only a candy bar", breaking the rules is breaking the rules - some minor some major, but if you do nothing at all you're honestly sending the message:

"It's perfectly ok to break the rules, go ahead!"

I thought that was nyzule runs in the tower, I remember everyone cheering when mini dragon got banned. hahaha Though kinda sucked for people who got banned just by joining the group and didn't know what was going on.

I am glad I didn't do nyzule at that time, I was busy doing other stuff.

I never said it was ok. I said (in the post you quoted, no less) that people are inflating the issue.

Come back after people use the exploit to get you killed or fuck you up while doing something important.

My question is, how you get away with this word, but I get suspended for a few days for masking it by only using asteriks?

Someone reported you, no one reported him

The point is it should be an easy quality of life fix. And its still not done.

[Markas]

Lighten up and/or blacklist them.

Sure, it's annoying, but it's really a bit much to want them banned for it.

Eh, maybe not banned but GM jail (does xiv have a GM jail?) would be nice.
