Going on 2 hours of radio silence after logging in to find my character in GM jail

Next time, send any log requests through tells. Don't trust anyone in this game not to report you, because they will. People are petty AF.

GM's can choose to ban people over tells. It's not safe to discuss logs in game. Full stop.

The hypocrisy of Square saying they wanted to close the gap between high end players and casual players they were so concerned about after Heavensward. By forcing raiders off game to make communities elsewhere where optimization can be discussed safely, they're making that gap even wider.

No, parsers shouldn't be used to shame people. But to ban someone who had been asked by another to help better their own gameplay?

Really disgusting practice by GM's here. That's not even including leaving a player in jail, forgotten, for 4 hours.

I understand their stance on 3rd party software, but leaving you in GM Gaol for over 4 hours I highly unprofessional.


Communication is key. What we had here was a failure to communicate.

[SannaR]

Wow that sucks. To snatch you while you were offline and then let you sit for hours on end is just bad form. Most GMs I've talked to after having reported someone are super nice and don't leave you hanging like that. Heck I've seen posts from people who seriously deserved to be in GM jail get their questions asked nicely.

I thought they only punished for this if the numbers were used for harassment?

[SpiritMuse]

Wow that's super ridiculous and unprofessional to just leave a player in gaol for hours with zero communication. And a 10 day ban for a first offence, and for something as benign as a parser? That said player never used to harass people (which presumably can be checked in logs)? Come on, you can be better than this.

It's also terrible than when you do get pulled into the gaol, there is no communication or any kind of an attempt to gain an understanding on what had happened, the GMs just throw in some copy-paste crap and then give you a punishment based on how they are feeling on that particular day, and those strikes never go away either as far as I'm aware.

Interresting would be a reaction form the mods here about that, but i guess there wont be any, right?

Still something like this its silly and i say that as someone with an huge disike for parsers... like its done in 10-15 min max, why the wait? I see theres a difference in between "hey my game got stuck/item did not spawn etc" and some "youre arrested!" stuff but still... >_>

Yea that's what's confusing me about this.

[HyoMinPark]

Break the ToS and get nuked, this isn't wow.

Meanwhile, there are botters on my server that have been reported several times throughout the entirety of this expansion who were never punished. Clearly, only some things against the ToS take priority.
