Regarding the Revision of the Prohibited Activities and Account Penalty Policy

[Mirakumi]

Sounds like a rule designed to force tanks and healers to tank and heal for people. I'm a human being, not a slave, and personally I reserve the right to leave any duty at any time I desire to for any reason.

Yeah but if you queued for the dungeon then you should just leave it and take the kick timer. Instead of disconnecting on purpose and wasting everyone's time.

Which could unfortunately easily fit into the category of "Other obstruction of play".

That's great, now what about the 24/7 PF listings selling endgame content for real money? GMs don't care based on numerous petitions by multiple people, and I've never seen one not run the full duration, so clearly nothing is being done. That is what ruins game balance, but I guess no one's feelings are hurt so it's just fine.

Yeah exactly. You signing yourself for a dungeon and then standing around un-willing to participate is an Obstruction of play for other people. You're absolutely right.

I meant abandoning the duty and taking the penalty. The rules are written so as to allow for the possibility that you could be punished for utilizing that game feature. So why should I not think it might happen?

Never leave the GC barracks and only do content with trusts, got it.

My question is how do they know its on purpose regardless my cat has stepped on my power cord turning off my ps at times i try to come back as fast as i can

Because the GM's will investigate, and saw you only disconnected once from the instance, then came back and didn't disconnect again. The people in MSQ roulette are constantly disconnecting, reconnecting then running to the boss room and pulling. It's happening 5-6 times in an instance, which would warrant the GM slapping them for breaking that rule.

"Expressions that unilaterally reject another person's opinion"

This is going to utterly kill the mentor channels. I'll certainly stop participating in them. No one will say anything because god forbid you "unilaterally reject another person's opinion" when multiple people answer a new player's question.

"Other expressions that are offensive to another person"

Beating a dead horse here but this is entirely subjective. So what, does the offended party just have to speak to a GM and the "offender" can expect a visit to the GM dungeon? This is SO easy to abuse.

"Other actions that are generally regarded as actions that inflict deep emotional distress on another person"

This is ridiculously vague. There are people that suffer "deep emotional distress" when they see someone eating meat. Can we expect this to be used as capriciously as it could be? Imagine how easily people could blackmail other users with threats to report with your new "proactive approach" to policing how people play the game.

"Expressions that contravene public order and morals"

Who gets to decide what that public order is? Whose morals will be observed when this policy is being imposed? There are a wide array of morals across this planet and you've players from all over the world so it stands to reason that someone's morals won't be adhered to.

"Other expressions that are offensive to another person"

Once again hilariously subjective. Who gets to decide what was offensive? If it is the "victim" then this will be ridiculously easy to abuse.

You're trolling me, right?

[MuseTraveller]

I think people are exaggerating. Just be polite when debating or talking, it costs you nothing.
There is a huge difference between "Please, put Shield Oath on." and "Put shield oath, dumbass."
