    Updates to prohibited activities

    First, sorry in advance, but I really did not know where to post this and since I'm mainly playing healer and probably be the most affected role concerning this, it should be good to post that here.
    Second, english is my 3rd language, so sorry if I'm not writing properly but trying my best to be understandable and chill.

    If I understand right, we basically, doesn't have the right anymore to tell someone he is doing something wrong. I know what a lot are going to answer about that : there are difference between being harsh/rude with people and doing constructive criticisms.
    But, in fact, that difference, doesn't change much. I'm not going to write a thesis in middle of a dungeon for someone I will likely play only once because I need to add all those 'polite form' before making constructive critics.
    To be honest, all those measures seems no more than hypocrisy to me. We can't tell people whats wrong but in other side people I longtime ago reported to the support for racism or sexual harassment (with in game screen proving it) still playing the game.

    Joining or recruiting for a party in Party Finder and immediately leaving/disbanding once the party has been formed.
    We can't 'instant left' a party finder ? Be serious please, the blacklist of that game is totally useless and now, you are forcing me to play with people I added in my blacklist for a reason ?

    Expressions that attempt to unilaterally exclude someone from the game or content/community, etc.
    So, if we got someone doesnt make any effort and pretending it's a lie, we can't do/tell anything about it ?

    There are much more example of contradictions but really, thats a waste a time. I'm at a point where, I won't even write 'Hello' & 'Tyfp' so I'm sure there is no way I will be banned for harsh talking because someone in a bad day decided what I tell him was an offense to him/her.

    I imagine that is so that people don't sabotage other parties by filling them in, causing them to de-list from the party finder then leave to re-join their original party.

    It's an issue yeah and not exactly an ideal solution.


    Also vote kicking is still allowed. You can still point player mistakes, you just can't use rude language about it.

    lets make it clear, you never had the right to be rude or disrespectful... ever.

    there are diplomatic ways to tell someone that they arent doing well. I have no plans to change how I explain things to people since I dont feel anything has changed. period.

    basically, all they did was clarify things a bit more, I suspect more for GM's than for players. If people didnt push the envelope on how they treat others, I doubt we would have gotten this. but people do, and now the GM's have a bit more to back up their decisions with. in my opinion its same old same old. If you werent banned previously or had a time out, I doubt you will now. simple as that.

    The problem is not to determine if being rude or not is allowed. That should be comon sense to anyone received a decent education to know than you never have to be rude to someone even when you are hiding behind a screen.
    With those news prohibtions, it meant that you cant even write the strat you want to use on your pf settings because you are not allowed to 'force' people make things how you want but always suggest and this is a huge difference. And since, you can't either tell someone something like : 'sorry we are not doing this, you should leave'
    If you can't do the mechanic well, maybe you shouldn't bother joining the party.
    as an example they writed, this is just ridiculous how that open door to troll and massive stupid amount of report.
    Or even this :
    Don't join if your equipment is that bad/such a low item level.
    when there is a minimum ilvl settings into that pf.

    This is the wrong forum to post this under since it's not specific to healer roles.
