Account Penalties Decrease after Each year (add as a rule)

How do you know you have had a warning?

I do think the penalty is harsh...then again, continuing the same behavior that got you strikes in the first place.

How do you know you have had a warning?

I think it starts with a day or two or three ban, then a little longer maybe a week? And finally they take your head.

Given how some people got away with some behaviour, I guess the GM gives you plenty of time to redeem yourself before acting against your account status. Whoever got a warning he clearly had deserved it, likely for a reason that is just the top of a pile of things he already did.

The GMs will yank you into their little time-out room and have a chat with you. They only issue temp bans on the first offense if it's something really serious, though.

I know from personal experience after I made the dumb mistake of deciding to test someone's claim that you can mess up a bot by trading with it on a bot that was being multiboxed by someone who wasn't AFK. Yes, it did mess the bot up for a time, but it also ticked off the guy who owned it and had to fix it.

Thanks for letting me know! Now I won't worry xD.

While I have reported quite a few people for obvious stupid things.

*Numerious Mentors being asshats
*One extremely offensive name
*Party Sabotage

I've not gotten a warning in-game...and I'll admit...sometimes I get a little terse (oh wow big surprise yeah?)

I'd say SE is more than fair in this case....surprisingly so.

So yeah....no change needed....if anything file a petition and make an inquiry. But we don't need a change in the current system.

Wow.

I swear all the time in the game, even the f-bomb. I have never been called out or even told to turn it down, so I guess I'm simply fortunate in the fact that I've yet to meet someone who takes offense to it, or just offense to me, to use it against me. I've never spoken to a GM without contacting them first, either, so I must be doing good, otherwise.

So, it seems we should speak with the "work filter" on. Welp.

Ffxiv should add a rule were if the player doesn't break any rules at all
for a year their penalty status should start decreasing with each passing year
and start going back to a clean account.

I have respect for the red knights, the GMs, of this game. Being tactful and respectful to other adventurers who subscribe to this game and work hard to maintain it is not much to ask. it's pretty simple.
Not supportive of this idea.

But why. They did something they shouldn't. Punishment is warranted.
