Abusing the Trade feature to interrupt, etc

[Najara]

Any word on if this is a bannable offense and if it's going to be fixed anytime soon? It's getting pretty old.

It is harassment. You can use /busy to block it, though.

Does blacklisting someone prevent them from initiating a trade? I know this can happen by accident in a crowded area (right-clicking on wrong toon), but obviously if someone is spamming you over and over, it's a different story. Just blacklist them I guess if that prevents it from happening and report it to see if GM does anything about it.

The simple fact that you're teleporting should be enough that trades aren't allowed. Just this morning someone ran from across the Aftcastle just to trade me as I was teleporting.

Lighten up and/or blacklist them.

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

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

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

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.

Permanent suspension is a serious punishment, and it should not be dealt out lightly.

Trade troll spotted.

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.
