Feedback Regarding GM Dorxenore (Further Review by Management Recommended)

The GM seems right to me. Jesus Christ I thought I was gonna read some juicy story about GM corruption. But this is it? You are blowing this way out of proportion. Blacklist the people who offend you and move on like the GM said. It sounds like you were upset that you couldn't change how people interact with each other, even though it had nothing to do with you.

I feel like FFXIV has the most overly-sensitive people in the online gaming world. Everyone gets their feelings crushed as if you have never left your house and met someone with a different personality.

I think you just summed up the game entirely. *clap*

The ToS are purely subjective and every GM will interpret and enforce them differently.
This GM has decided to let it slide.
Other GMs will suspend you for dropping an f-bomb in party chat.
It's all part of the horrible customer service that SE provides alongside their products.

the ToS isn't subjective lol, you can get ban if you break the rules.

ff11 had massive ban waves over an nyzul isle exploit. so ya.......

I also have the entire chat log that led to the report if you want, but it will take quite a few screens. I'd rather not though as I don't want Eve to be harassed. If you want it, it will have to be in PM.

That's... I don't even know what to say, they are basically legitimizing kick wars and "do whatever you want".

Thats not new at all.

3.3 Profanity and Offensive Language. You may not use profanity or any language that a reasonable person would find offensive. The Game is for players aged 13 and older. You agree to behave accordingly.

The key words here are "reasonable person." Judging by the posts made here I'm not so sure everyone fits that description.

It honestly sounds like some players are just overly sensitive (even to something not even being directed at them) and feel the need to abuse power to comfort themselves in some manner.

I can't believe people are actually supporting vulgar talk in Novice Network of all places. How do you like your 7-year old daughter's teacher at school sharing his sexual fantasies of making out with a goat or whatever, during recess, or after school? I'm sure you're going to support the teacher and tell your daughter that this is free speech, right?

TPO. Time, Place, Occasion. It is clearly inappropriate to do what the op described in the NN. In Shout? In Say? In Yell? Sure, blacklist the player. But in NN? It's not the right place to do it.

TPO, people, TPO. It should be one of the first things anyone learn upon becoming an adult.

Some people do, some people don't. In real life you can't block people, in NN you can. So yeah, just block the offender and move on, it'll be like he never existed in the first place.

HOWEVER

I must wonder why obscenities in any public channel are allowed. But I suppose it would depend on what OP considers obscene and he was not specific about what was said. If it was of a very vulgar, cruel, discriminatory or sexual nature, then I would be shocked if this was considered to be acceptable behaviour in a public channel. If this is the case then I hope that it's just this GM doing their job poorly rather than SE having a terrible stance on it.

If comments from past interactions with GMs are to be taken at face value.The guide lines that seems to be in place in this game is ignore and move on. While OP thinks they are on some great crusade to clean the channel. If the policy is filter and move on, they are just being a nuisance to the GMs. Ans the way SE has handled most issues in 14 as I don't have any personal knowledge the idea that blist and move on is probably as close to guide lines, as I doubt they actually have a real policy. Sure you might get the odd GM who takes a moment to slap someone around.

Also from the comments from the GM amused me. It is basically when someone comes in again and again and complains. They get labeled and get vague promises to move them out the door. Their words literally have zero
weight.

TPO, people, TPO. It should be one of the first things anyone learn upon becoming an adult.

Isn't an online game literally the TPO to have fun and say odd stuff. It is way better in discord on a crappy raid night. But it sure spills over into other channels. As long as no one is being discriminated against a little vulgar language is nothing. Specially considering what goes on in the background npcs in the game. I do prefer when people are more original being vulgar. But maybe they are having an off day

Also were the comments just sexual in nature. Did they pass over some decency line? It is clear that adult conversations are allowed. If people want to type "(hot)(galka)(meat rod)(rear thrust)(do you need it?)" ffxi joke. It seems like that is ok
