Player abusing third party software to initiate harassment and to bully me

[Alklios]

Really only time you can be consequenced for bad DPS is refusing to AoE when asked then you get booted for griefing the dungeon.

Or lashing out at a veteran of your class for recommending but not compelling better play.
Had some heals dob this in msq dungeons svd wipe us called us obscenities

I don't know about that one, you might just get hit with a "you don't pay my sub" or lol.

this was EX trial 1, i went in as a reaper for the first time ,also it was 1st pull clear so i didnt know why this man went full on rage mode on melees, the guy was clearly parsing because he uploads his log every single pull if its good, but again this is the first trial in EW and ppl are trying to get more practice with the new jobs, therefore bullying or crapping on others in a trial seems to be outrageous .

Why would anyone practice their job in an extreme?

Extremes are the middle ground between Savage and Normal content, so they aren't the worst place to take that next step once you know the rotation but don't have too much experience doing it in more stressful situations.


As for OP, you really should just report that person. Even if they try to claim that they aren't using a parser somehow, like if they claim to have just made up the number, they will still be charged with harassment. In fact, they will be charged with harassment first and foremost, with third party tools as a secondary charge on top of it. So no matter what, they WILL be punished. Make sure you note the time, day, and the instance you were in so the GMs can pull up the necessary chat logs.

Ah, so it's a great place to refine one's chosen job, or as that "next step" once a player knows their rotation? I see. I just hope players aren't going in there before that point!

Thats been dropped alot before they usually get hit with the party kick lol. People learn fast in FF14 to be a team player, consequences

[Welsper59]

how is this an inclusive gameplay we ff14 community can allow?

I can tell you from nearly 20 years of playing online games (mostly MMOs) that you're never going to completely escape these people. So it's not about whether or not any of us or the folks behind XIV allow them to be this way, it's that you can't stop them from initially being this way. Most of us don't tolerate people like that and, unlike most games, you can actually report this type of behavior here.

These types of people are often incredibly stupid when it comes to behavior and especially covering their tracks. Typically in a hilarious yet depressingly pathetic way. And yeah, I have no qualms about insulting a potential child here, given the childish antics, but it's more than likely someone old enough to know better. They'll usually provide you all the evidence you need to report them and, given the violation on 3rd party tools, will usually flaunt their knowledge about something they're not supposed to actually know. A GM can use this as further reason to pursue action, though it's likely not needed. It's more akin to additional ammunition or motivation to take action, given the subjectivity of issuing punishment. They don't even need to actually have been using 3rd party tools in this situation, just the implied claim is enough to shoot themselves in the foot.

Can confirm. The player in savage gear shouting 'git gud' and throwing a tantrum when healer has to potty break has failed mechanics and died in dungeons.

Don't let their behavior fool you. If they actually had achievements you'd have seen mention of them. People celebrate mediocrity and chastize the hobbyist to feel a snowflake. Its all the thing now.

Most high achievers in real life and in games don't spend time crapping on others. They're too busy trying to better themselves.
