Holy now a bannable spell.

[monk-dps]

I won't report someone for spamming holy in a city, or emote spamming (Yes, they ban for emote spamming too). But God does it feel good to see one of those annoyances banned. People should already know how heavy-handed GMs are in this game, and most other games by the way. It's not exclusive to FFXIV. I got an account warning for ESO last month for "spamming", I was "spamming" "LFM" for a world boss while running a group of new players who wanted me to get more. I was even spacing my calls out. Doesn't matter, I probably got reported. It's just the mentality of players in general nowadays, same reason games like R6 siege have (or had - I haven't played in a couple years) a chat bot.

Oh. My. God. Can you imagine if they did? With like the gigantic chat spam with the makeshift faces?

One.. you're a viera again. Two.. your " Oh.My.God" had me dying. I read that in the valley girl voice and I can't even why tho lol.

I think repetitive arguments should be bannable. Page 3 etc may as well be page 23 at this point and having less of a purpose.

I mean what is it going to accomplish if the arguments amount to chewing cud?

As a suggestion, i might suggest actually replying to a post instead of baking it into your original one. It makes for an actual conversation, and i won't always check back to this post to see if you added more onto it.


I'll bite. Tell me, what exactly can you stop me from doing?
If i do the story, you wouldn't be there in the cut scenes or know where i need to go next if i go to the next leg; nor would you be there during my instances.
If i craft, how would you stop me? My UI is a layer above any effect happening so i can always craft or get materials from my retainer.
If i gather, how would you stop me? We all have our own private nodes and even if you attempted to block me, i would still be able to click the nodes.
If i farm mobs, i would get put onto the loot table of anything i fight; so even if you attempted to farm faster than i did, i would only need to contribute to the kills and you will have aided me.
If i level lower classes, how would you get in my way? You could not sabotage fates, and you have no guarantee of getting into the dungeons that i enter into to attempt that there.
If i choose to RP, how would you stop that? If your text gets in my way, i would only need to ignore you until i'm done and perhaps make an in-character remark as to another drunkard needing to be rounded up. In fact, you would be adding to my banter.

So tell me.. How are you going to ruin my game? You have no power to do so.

I would just boop your nose.. but that's just me. - likes your miqo design.-

And even if you could, doesn't mean that doing said annoying spamming shouldn't be punishable.

Why is it punishable? Because you don't like it? It's a game, let people have fun lol, how is it hurting you?
And yeah it requires all effects to be disabled, you can macro that btw, just takes one button on and off. If one skill annoys you then I guess different skills/emotes annoy you too?!

Only takes 2 more bans similar to that and your account is gone. Like standing in another person or making fun of a lalafell, damn you just got your 3rd strike. Maybe you think different, when people actually get permban accounts for offenses in that category.
We don't know what really happened in this case, but straight out defending bans on simple use of your skills would be so out of touch with reality.
But whatever, this thread is like the pvp one where a person got rape flashbacks when a player jumped on her dead corpse in frontline, and reported&demanded a ban for them.

Yeah, my avatar hasn't updated at least for me..

"Oh. My. God" is EXACTLY what I say when I see someone spamming that! Have you heard the ones with noises?! It's like "YEAH, WE ARE GONNA BLOT OUT THE CHAT WITH A RAIN OF MOOGLE FACES!"

[Sathona]

Actually, that's not correct at all. Most people don't call others sensitive because they're annoyed by things that they, themselves, are not; people normally will call someone sensitive because of their reaction to said action. I am annoyed by many things in game, i find many things that many people do annoying; I however do not resort to reporting them on those grounds even when i could make a case for it.
Punishing people for annoying me is not something i enjoy doing, but many people in the XIV community do seem to enjoy that; in fact, a great many seem to revel in someone getting punished for something that is essentially inconsequential to any of the parties that were involved.

THANK YOU for being logical!

I'm not gonna lie.. I did like your au ra abit better.. comparing faces atleast. I'm not on your data center so I can't stare and compare. But yeah I've seen some insane marcos in chat. The most insane one I heard went on for like 5 mins. I died. It was out of left field and had me rolling. But yeah, stuff like that would get people instantly pissed.

I'll revisit this point in 10 or so pages.

I like her too! That's why I haven't changed her design in years! She is one of my unchanging presets now.

Yeah, it can be funny at times (time and place). That's why I don't report people for it, I don't report people at all, but I won't shed a tear when they get themselves banned!

Also, my apologies but I can't post more than 3 with my current level. So if you don't want to respond you're more than welcome to stop responding to me.

This will be my last reply then. It just looks odd for me to keep talking to the same post over and over again.

Sorry but you're being very naive. If I troll you you will never do anything in peace. If you're not in an instance I will find you. Everywhere you go you will wonder if someone is following you. I will have all my friends follow you. We will holy spam your screen non stop. If you have a house we will be there if you're there. You won't be anywhere in the game world without wondering if me and my group will show up right in front of you and spam holy. I'm a troll. I don't care. I will troll you until you report or one of your friends will report. And if i get banned, i will create another account and troll you more. There will be no end to my trolling. You won't be ignoring and laughing it off I can make sure of that.

I think you're the one being naive, actually.
What is a troll to you? Is it someone who just annoys people for the sake of it? If so.. that's a little one dimensional.
A troll wants a response. They want to be noticed, and they want the other person to lose their cool. They want validation
I wouldn't give you those things. A little bit, or a lot, of holy spam won't get me to respond or get visibly angry with you. How long would you do it without a response, and what is your time or your friends time worth to you? Will you forgo playing the game you're paying for to do that to me?

If you spend hours, days.. weeks.. trying to troll me without a response, what will you have gained? And the more time that you go on doing that without being rewarded, the more i'm actually getting under your skin. The longer a troll devotes to a failed troll, the more they're actually getting trolled in response; because now they're the ones reacting to what's going on instead of the other way around.
