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

[Oldschoolegamer38]

After all these years people still haven't learned...It's sad to see stuff like this happening and also a lesson from this... don't be a Richard!!! Be civil to each other and it's only a game that people enjoy...

I am seeing this a lot coming from the recent WoW implants that boost or buy accounts to do only raid content. But that is just from my POV as I see the bad behavior increasing lately. I had one person tell me to go KYS in a 4 man because they "raided in WoW and to never be questioned" which made me laugh and my only response was "This isn't Azeroth, this is Eorzea we play by a different set of rules." and the guy lost his shyte over that one statement. Then suddenly poof he disappeared, I think a GM grabbed him, as his wording was very colorful prior to him losing it, to say the least.

A wizard made him dissappear.

(...) this is the first trial in EW and ppl are trying to get more practice with the new jobs, therefore bullying or [..] 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!

The only time someone should be bringing up damage is when the boss just isn't dying or the trash just isn't dying and it's causing wipes.

Even then, you don't use parser numbers to trash on folks, you just tell them to use aoes or something. There's no reason to use a parser to trash on someone in a group. There just isn't.

This is my experience last night , i must admit that i was truly hurt by what happened and as someone who joined game just 1 year ago, i have never ever met such rude and toxic person who would abuse third party tool to flame and harrass players like that, I am not a perfect player but i will try and be a better player however using numbers outside the game from a 3rd party tool just to flame and discourage other players is abosolutely unacceptble and it totally ruins the healthy gaming environment .Not to mention, reaper is a brandnew job which i take great pleasure leveling and experiencing. I do not understand the concept of which this person had against other players just becasue he uses ACT to parse or show his superiority .Including in the chatlog, he dared to ask me and other melee to play another game, how is this an inclusive gameplay we ff14 community can allow? Frankly i was totally bummed and discouraged by him and had to log off due to that reason alone. As hurtful as it may sound, i just didnt want to play the ex trial with reaper anymore becasue of that, But i will continue my journey and keep learning reaper, i will not be discouraged by such person not worth my time and energy.

Sorry about your experience we don’t tolerate this in this community, please report the individual. Sorry if you had bad experience unfortunately you had an experience with 0.01% of this community. Love and support from fellow player

Oy u dog shadowbans like in 1984 ey. Thats truly what one would expect from corpo these years lmao.

ACT in itself is not the issue. Plenty of people use it as a tool for self-progress or for use in statics to gauge who needs to improve. The issue is when people advertise and use it publicly as that is a violation of the ToS. As I said before in another thread, keep your use of it to yourself in public settings...the same as you would any other mod or plugin. People will report you otherwise, especially with the new wave of people needing to brag that they're using ACT in Extremes now.
