WHMs spamming Holy at MBs / Cities / crafters

[CYoung187]

Emotes can be just as annoying, I guess we should disable those in cities too? Where does this line of thinking end?

Or you could just sop doing it, its a two way street. If you don't want to adjust your style, why should someone have to adjust theirs? This argument is useless.

I was trying to give advice, and express how some of us aren't doing it just to be annoying (and thus asking us to quit or move is a viable solution.)

Just spamming an ability isn't a reportable offense unless you're actively following someone in particular. The easiest solution is to quite frankly turn off effects. The OP obviously doesn't want to go through the hassle of the system menus every time they want to change their settings, so a macro is the best solution. It helps a lot during hunts as well.

It can be left up to interpretation:

Prohibited Activities
Disruptive behavior that negatively affects the experience of others or the service itself is strictly forbidden within FINAL FANTASY XIV. Such activities violate the FINAL FANTASY XIV User Agreement as well as the SQUARE ENIX Account Terms of Use.

It seems to have negatively affected the OP enough to create a thread about it.

If you refuse to even tone down your effects ( I turn mine off if they're not in my party ): You either:

1) Need thicker skin.
2) Move to a different area.
3) Learn to have patience.

You can't really expect everything in the game to be catered to you.

This is pretty much my thoughts.

And. Lol. Even though I rarely see spamming(because 99% of the time I'm either at my personal house, gathering or raiding, I know that not everyone who spams are "trolls" or "omg teens". Some people are bored, some just got the skill and are overly excited, etc.

If it bothers you it's up to you to do something about it. You're responsible for your own happiness. It's funny because, sometimes it feels like people don't want to take responsibility for a lot of things, in game or real life. Our generation is a little...spoiled, I think. No one is a mind reader, they can't always know what your personal dislikes are. And not everyone is aware that spamming is a thing(new gamers), that can be consider rude, or that it lags low end computers.

Turn off the effects. Ask them to please move, or you can move. There are many market boards to choose from. Do you have a FC house? Go to the market board near it. Normally housing market boards are a little bit more quiet. And if you have a low end computer that lags from someone using holy, housing market boards are probably going to be your best option.

They do it all over just to lag people out.

That would only work with PS3 users.

This is why I don't craft in cities. Too much noise.

Even if you don't have a house, you should still go to a random housing ward for your crafting if people bother you. Very unlikely to get disturbed there.

I call these people Lookie McLookatmes. I imagine they're 12-year-old boys desperate for attention. I just head off to my house to do my crafting and market board stuffs rather than let it bug me.

I will never understand the "12/13 year old immature boy" approach to things...
