Holy now a bannable spell.

I was browsing some FFXIV sub reddits and came across this.

He received a 3 day ban following spamming holy in Limsa. Some people got annoyed by it and reported him for it....

This feels like a reach for any kind of punishable actions with FFXIV... Is the ToS coverage of anything that might affect another player getting out of hand?

[SmokeyTheSequel]

then they need to disable abilities in town because that is about the dumbest thing iv ever heard

On the other hand, why defend spamming?

pretty light show I mean if you don't want to see it don't sit there and watch it its your own fault if your being "spammed by a spell effect"

You can get banned for swearing but there's a chat filter.

You can get banned for spamming abilities but you can turn other people's abilities off.

What a silly game.

Sadly its not the game the majority of todays gamers are nothing but little crybabys over everything and to make things worse the spineless staff on games any more just suck it up and say well this person was a crybaby and complained we have no choice but to ban.
Really, I don't blame the game when the real problem is todays gamers are basically babies like they haven't been in high school or something and deal with real issues instead of fantasy world ones.

"Spamming" an ability is not the same as spamming. Spamming is spamming a chat. Repeating something over and over again. Using an ability over and over again is not "spamming" in that sense. Or, are you saying I can now legit report WHM that holy "spam" during trash pulls... or Bards that spam quick nock because its "Spamming"

Because spamming something in a dungeon when it helps you complete the dungeon is definitely the same as doing it in a city with the intent to bother other people.

Stretching that a little bit now.

Dungeons =/= town or cities.

I don't mind if someone does an ability in town. Hell I've done it by accident when moving my mouse, and I apologize afterwards. I've seen groups of players in a city dancing and someone drops a Holy or a Scholar dome to make like a "dance sphere" and that is fine too. To me it's got contxt with it, ya know?

Being the people by Gridania aetheryte and using the same emote on a person, or going through every emote we have under Emote tab is a bit annoying. Especially when you have 2 or 3 players doing it in a large circle.

A person standing in the middle of the Limsa markets spamming Holy over and over and over is annoying as hell. Period. Those that do that do it for a reason, be it boredom or just to troll. And no, forcing hundreds of players to turn off cast graphics is a stupid thing to ask.

EDIT: Looked at the linked screenshot and I have to shake my head. Saying other people were doing it doesn't give leave for you to do it as well. AFAWK the others were reported as well. And for the love of Zodiak, NEVER go by what people in Discord say .... *eyeroll*

With them having a strike from before, whelp ... who knows why.

But why encourage neuroticism? Overly sensitive hysteric snowflakes should be simply ignored, not encouraged. It's beyond me why SE finds it's necessary to act on such 'offenses'.

By this logic, then crafters are bannable by spamming "Failed to attach materia" in the chat log, or its a bannable offence to craft in general in cities.
