Holy now a bannable spell.

So it was "communal" spamming?! Even worse, I hope they all got banned! That must have been so obnoxious! If two people jump off a bridge you shouldn't jump off it too!

Wow, this has absolutely nothing to with jumping off a bridge. Perhaps you and the GMS should come down from your ivory towers and spend some time with real salt of the earth human beings. But, you've probably lost too much spine for that.

What exactly are you so vehemently defending here? A group of morons right to spam an entire hub zone with a very loud, bright spell? What purpose does this "communal" activity have? At least bards are presumably trying to play music. This is worthless.

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.

Time to mass report those pesky crafters! They all spam chat with their abilities. XD

Uhh, no? They're actually playing the game and doing something productive, unlike Holy / Ring spammers who aren't doing anything but trying to be annoying.

People should know SE doesn't like spam. Ottergate was glorious.

This feels like a reach for any kind of punishable actions with FFXIV

I feel like we didn't get the full story about this. There is no way someone could get in trouble for spamming a spell for only a few seconds. GMs have better things to be doing than chasing down players for casting a handful of spells.

That player must have been spamming for a minute or more, which is actually a long time to be spending doing one ability. Given they were in a town they potentially did that in a highly populated area and must have annoyed enough people that several reported them and not just one person.

Let's not forget how enormous, bright and loud holy is. This isn't like spamming Cure 1. Sure people can mute their audio and turn down spell effects...but that person could just as easily had some decency and not spam such a dramatic spell for long enough to get other people annoyed enough to report them.

This looks like a case of someone abusing the freedom to cast spells in towns. There is always some wiseguy that goes too far.

I approve. If you are doing something that bothers other people and enough players report it. You deserve what you get.

so because alot of people cry over something that sometimes can be legitly innocent and harmless and they mass report it just to be a jerk that person desevers to be banned.

Most people don't even ask you to stop they ninja report you maybe call you some names like "edge child" and that other nonsense which honestly is more reason for them to be reported with flat out insults.

Hell I remember one day I was minding my own business in my fc house plot and I poped a emote on a friends Ifirt that went something like "burn me master of the inferal and cast your mighty hell fire on me as punishment. (really innocent) and then that guy brought 2-3 others to the plot and basicly massed on me when I didn't go out of my way for them and I was staying within my fcs land ...

Truly a great tale about minding your own business.

Truly a great tale about minding your own business.

Masochism is innocent and when your within the fc land and its just you and a friend ya it is minding your own business.. which my friend only summoned him because they know how I feel about demon like creatures and stuff.

My point still remains is stuff like that does happan alot of people gang up on someone for alot of reasons and as screwed up as it is even In real life people do this to others they hide behind rules/laws but in this case they hide behind the tos purposely trying to set the person to say something "insulting" so they can basicly get away with abusing the system. Simpley because they dislike one or two things about a person like they might hate you over your rez macro or summoning macro or alot of other reasons which are unreasonable ... and yes it does happan Idk why or how people remain so naive when it obviousely happans.
