Can we use ACT to recognize who is griefing the party and report them afterwards?

[Roeshel]

or you could i dunno obey the tos and not risk getting banned i know it's hard choice for some people but seeing years of work down the drain because you wanted a dps tool is not worth it

like i said gaming is a privilege not a right Yoshi P and Se has already told the community where they stand the ToS is crystal clear there is no room for interpretation

If a GM seriously decides to ban me for using ACT I will go to Control Panel, search for FFXIV and uninstall. This is bs I am not putting up with. I really don't care about the reasons why the ToS is so poorly made. I will buy alpha for AoC and maybe put more hours into studying instead of playing.

As we have already told you. You will not get banned for using ACT. Not unless you're dumb enough to advertise it in game. Or even worse, decide to harass someone with your parser readout. If you're someone inclined to do that, have fun in Mordion Gaol, I certainly won't sympathize with you. If all you want is to use ACT to gauge your own potential for improvement.. then you won't get in trouble for using it.. because SE won't even know that you do.

I'm not. I am making the point why this is the way it is. Too many tools wanting to use them to call people out - like the very OP of this thread asking "Can we use ACT to recognize who is griefing the party and report them afterwards?" instead of just kicking, or in the worst cases reporting without using the parser.

They have their uses for personal use (knowing who to partner as an example), and are very important in the savage scene, but there are way too many tools in this game, in all MMOS, who use ACT and similar to call out people.

Using them needs you to stay silent about the fact, to 100% turn a blind eye to other people's lack of performance. If you find they make your blood boil - turn them off in PUGS.

For the record, the person you're quoting.. is the OP.

... Did I read this right?

Threatening to uninstall AFTER being banned for breaking ToS is probably not as strong of a statement to SE that you think it is.

To be fair though, I've never been banned from a game. Maybe its common practice to keep your banned games installed as a reminder of what a bad noodle you were.

Why would you consider this as a threat in the first place? A threat to what and to whom.

Threat - a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done.

I stated I will uninstall if X happened to me. I am inflicting pain to whom, to what. Is this game so dear to you?

A person on the internet states that they think certain rules of a game are bs and if they get penalized for not following them they will cease to play the game. And then to this, you reply with another hilarious response. I haven't been banned from games either. But what of it. Nobody asked for this redundant info from either of us.

"Did I read this right/Just so I understand" followed by warped and distorted perspective. Phrases like this only serve to show that you are not very sharp. Stop using them unless you really mean them.
