Been in jail the past few days.

I mostly keep my chatting to Discord VC, thankfully enough. I can be as blunt and verbally open as the respective servers allow.

But can you even imagine if VC was implemented in any kind of MMO? It’d basically turn into Overwatch.

There is a difference in swear words and being obscene. That's why you got reported I imagine. Use your common sense when speaking in public chats. My guess and it happens more often than not, is that there was more obscene than the one word used. Like the way you phrased it and it was found offensive enough to report.

You can't go around blurting out any old thing you want in public chat, nor should you be allowed to, because there are players from all walks of life, who pay to play just like you. If it's cringe worthy then take it to tells. It's simple...Respect the community, respect the game and things will be just fine.

Only abrasive towards you.

Charming. I've tried to be as civil as possible.

And teen btw is defined as 13 and up.

If you read my examples, you would understand I am aware of that:

...were I a parent allowing my 13 y.o. daughter to play this...

If you let your child play at such a young age it's to be expected that they're gonna be exposed to certain things.

I never said they wouldn't be. I said:

Yes, everyone is expected to adjust reasonably to what is accepted by the games rating (which is teen, btw), or risk trouble, especially when amongst strangers in a public setting.

And the TOS you're mentioning isn't worth much since it doesn't give actual definitions for Harassment or anything else, leaving it to be arbitrarily defined however anyone wants to define it.

How the game devs and mods want to define it. And they do. And you're in jail for violating it.

You don't go to jail for yelling profanity at a baseball stadium. Not a good example.

I mean, you're not actually in jail... as Vidu said:

You might not go to jail, but you might get kicked out of the stadium - which is basically what moardian goal and an ingame ban are: You being kicked out of the stadium aka game. So yeah, good example.

I guess the take home from what you're saying is that when people "rub" me the wrong way I'll just make sure to report them too.

If that's what your take away is, sure. I'm not surprised since it seems you haven't really read what I had to say.


Look, I've got nothing personal against you. You seem like you can get carried away or a little hot headed over things. All good, we all screw up or get upset...but is this really a hill worth fighting over? Like I said at the very beginning:

Chalk it up to a learning experience and wake up tomorrow a better person.

"Chalk it up to a learning experience and wake up tomorrow a better person."

Well maybe not a better person, that's subjective. If I join a crazy cult, the people in the crazy cult thinks I'm a better person for joining, but others may not see it that way. lol

Maybe a better phrase would be "Chalk it up to a learning experience and wake up tomorrow a better player in the eyes of the FFXIV GM's" they make the rules right. *chuckles*

[XgungraveX]

sounds like someone who was spamming general chat and got popped.

No matter what anyone says, you DESERVE to know the reason you are in jail, because it is technically a violation of your rights to your information. If you don't get a reason, then you need to file a complaint with the customer services, and ask them POLITELY, to give you the record. So long as they don't expose the person who reported you, then there is nothing wrong with getting the information.

Just please remember to treat them with decency. They are just doing a job, and working for Square Enix. Whatever happens, they do not have any control over. It's the higher ups that have the control.

Dang that's a lot of crimes

Stop right there criminal! You've violated the law.

A GM deemed your actions in violation of ToS. This is the reason.
One can request their ban to be reviewed and lifted if it was inappropriate but you won't get further information than what was already given to you. I am not sure how to process goes. I've read that for some people, the gms talked with them before they got put in jail.

Filing a complaint won't do anything, it is a waste of time.

Unfortunately it's very easy for the terms of service to be weaponised in this game and there's no shortage of players who gleefully do just that. As a rule of thumb, it's best not to say anything that could be read into as inappropriate.

Ironically, you can grief and troll all you want pretty much as long as you remain silent in chat. If you're super unlucky, you *might* be caught if the GM is in a bad mood and the reporters have you on stream or something. But otherwise? Totally abuseable report system that relies far too much on chat logs.

Yep.. and people will do it all the time because of it.
