Recent Developments of TOS Actions Taken

he should have been banned for much longer and this whole thing is another reason sqeenix wont get behind official parsers.

I Totally Agree with SE on BAN /

/ other thing is - if The Person would know that is doing low damage rotations, then the person could think how to improve

so we have in Game Parser its -> Dummy Target Test <-
( which NO ONE CARES to go and test rotations , but people should makes those tests )
( I would like to see - all extremes and savages locked behind Dummy Target Test - if You can beat it, You can enter for the Savage )


Due to my PF random Prog, I saw many people hitting the wall on E2S with min ilvl, and while I was scoping them "no materia" no food... etc... Yeah, I do care, and I did try to kill that Dummy E2S for 8 h straight, changing my rotations my materia, choosing proper food - and when I finally bated it, I was 100% sure that I can do it, and no one would complain about my dmg

People will ridicule before coaching for the most part. See any day 1 alliance raid. And with numbers to back them, they'll ridicule even harder.

The sad part is, I feel mentality like this would happen less if people actually made an effort to get better, and people had more empathy. We shouldn't have to wonder how far SEs reach is if the line was more clear between casual content and EX/Savage.

That being said SE still needs to speak on the matter, if someone shows me laughing at someone in my private discord, is that a means for a ban, if one of you talk about how bad (insert name here) healer was, can and will that be used as evidence against you, if presented to SE. Is this a one time thing ecause he's a streamer, cuz his info was in his lode stone?

All in all its odd either way.

Why is it anyone else's responsibility to tell someone to self improve before they do new/hard content?

It should be common sense like empathy. Yet here we are seeing a lack of both.

Maybe, just maybe, they're new to raiding, don't follow every aspect of mmo culture from the WoW days they never experienced, and play like most people who don't know how to min/max with specific order of skills.

Or, like all PS4 players... are on PS4. No parse tools here. Unless you're on the development team and are looking at numbers to balance the fight. If by chance, they're a long time Final Fantasy fan and bought the game off PSN, how would someone just know how to find this stuff? It's just a hard mode boss featuring a long time summon.

Consider seeing a bigger picture over a straight line. Many people from different backgrounds play this game after all.

And having seen the big picture and having seen many players presented with every guide and tool necessary, and they still refuse to use them. At what point is it anyone else's responsibility to tell them that they need to improve.

From a former ps4 player.

And as far as WOW goes, I wish like Wow, FF told players they needed to improve prior to them doing anything at max lvl.

You keep quoting me yet don't seem to read my actual posts. I didn't say video, I said Twitch. Likewise, I never said the platform is infallible. Just that you cannot doctor a live stream because the recording is housed through Twitch, thus it's impossible for someone to re-upload it. Furthermore, I outside said a GM could shadow an accused players to see for themselves if they're cheating. This isn't a difficult concept, and many other games do it. For all WoW's faults, they handle botting and cheating MUCH better than FFXIV despite at one point having ten times the playerbase. The issue is SE relies on the STF—a team of four people housed in Japan. Four people to police an active playerbase of at least half a million. It's hardly a wonder why nothing gets done.

Nevertheless, please actually read what I'm saying if you're going to reply to me.

It's funny because a lot of people don't realize just how small 14s team is and how much better things would content and management wise if they had more people dedicated to specific aspects for each part of the game.

Theres like a million bots running around daily, and still get RMT stuff spammed, but GMs have time to police every streamers twitch stream, thats what people should be talking about.

Go back a page and see the post about the RMT team please. Cause youve got the wrong idea about how it works.

[Rasikko]

RMT aren't running parses and calling people out for bad numbers and Bart Simponsing on a stream about it.

It's simple. Don't admit you're using it. Don't verbally abuse people over their numbers. Most of all, for crying out load don't jeopardize your accounts over something so trivial. You spend thousand upon thousands of hours on your characters, is risking a ban really worth throwing all thay time away?
