What is with people?

[KaivaC]

I would have believed that a person playing like that was nothing but a troll and deserved a report for griefing, instead of assuming that its just someone who doesnt know better. Someone who doesnt know better simply should be in that content, specially not when unwilling to take advice - which circles back to harrassment, in a broad sense of the word: Chosing to stay at a level of play that ruins runs for 3-23 people.

This is the thing that completely baffles me. Ice mages and hardcasting RDMs aside, how is it possible to get to level 70 and not know something as basic as your aggro combo? And we know he didn't jump because the last time he brought up an issue and got caught, he was a level 51 paladin. Like, this is the most basic combo you get as a PLD...heck, you get those as a Gladiator. I'm legitimately lost.

you cant report ppl because he cant play properly. OP cant play tank properly not because he want to insult the rest of party,he just dont understand how to tank.
there is no reason to ban OP if they report to GM anyway.

what will GM say if ppl who cant play properly in GM jail if that thing is reportable? "Sorry you are banned for 7 days because you are not git gut"?(joke aside)

You absolutly can report people if you have a strong reason to believe that they are playing in a way that is disruptive on purpose. Not using key abilities, stealing aggro, moving the boss all the time resulting in the party getting killed over and over again, and also refusing to communicate are all signs of your party being trolled. Especially in a Lv.70 8-raid environment where basic MMO etiquette is welcome.
It will be up to the Game Master to decide if that behavior was intentional, but if that player gets reported multiple times on a regular basis, there's a good chance for them to be given a warning/ban at some point.

Okay that's a bit a extreme? this wasn't intended to get this much attention, yeah i definitely am considering changing my name after this, at this point i really don't care anymore.

You started a thread craving for attention. You got what you asked for.
If you are not happy that people got back to that episode 6 months ago about you showing how bad you were (already craving for attention back then, and also hiding the full story), that people from the other viewpoint came to share their experience with you like you did, or that people are fed up with your attitude when it comes to receiving advice on how to play, then don't start a thread.

In short, don't create a thread to get people's attention if you only want to cherry pick what kind of attention you get.
So next time, just report if you think it's justified, and move on. No need to come to the forums.

if Making a reddit post is any better drawing more attention it's like all of you are obsessed with me, and to be fair i'm not too happy about my name not being blured, at least i was kind of enough to blur the persons name when they sent the message, after taking a day off the forums and also researching info about my class etc, all i ask now is to just let this thread die off there's not point to continueing it.

Not trying to take the OPs side but kicking him was fine if bad game play. The thing that gets me is the added rude comment to him after the kick. There was no need for that. People insult others behind their backs for a reason. XD

Hold up, hold the chocobo right up! 20 pages....20 bleeding pages over that?!? SERIOUSLY, that was it? Basically someone told you to 'git gud' and it registers 20 pages? Holy Hydalean I thought it was some absolutely horrible swear word laden rant where every single one of your ancestors were insulted in the process. Dear god though man, take it on the cheek and move on!

If only that could be done.

He actually did a name change before I was able to tell him here that it doesn't matter - even if you name change and move servers the Lodestone tracks by your game ID -- out of curiosity I had his Lodestone open to see what gear he had that allowed him to rip aggro from the other tank, and today that tab is still there and refreshing it just gives his new name (plus he's in the same FC as well as the name isn't really changed...).

To OP, I do hope you take the advice others have tried to give you. Many were far kinder than the usual people you'd meet in other MMOs like WoW, etc. I don't even think the crux of the issue, or the reason for 20 pages+ of comments, is that you're bad at PLD. Everyone I think can excuse bad play even if they decide to kick for it. What makes people upset is your refusal to admit your faults - not even the need to learn from them (some people refuse to learn), but really just the flat out refusal to admit you were playing badly and deserved the kick. Humility, I think, is a checkbox that needs to be checked in this case...
