You have to take everything posted on Reddit with an enormous grain of salt. Not saying there’s not some truth to it, but things are often greatly exaggerated over there.

I posted in that thread before it went to IGN basically saying I was confused by the post. Because so many over there have been allegedly banned just for emoting at someone and no one likes to talk in dungeon pugs for fear of getting banned because of how heavy handed SE is about player behavior.

Now you can apparently get away with stalking with no consequence???

Yeah no.

Again not saying there’s not some truth to it, but Reddit always makes things sound bigger than they actually are.

And the reason IGN picked up on it is because FFXIV is the “it” game right now, and because of what’s going on in WoW.
