Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[Senn]

A lot of people aren't even entertaining their side of the story, and are just assuming they've done something wrong while making disparaging comments about their character.

That is assumed because they got a warning. The GMs tend to be correct in their assessment that the ToS has been violated in some way. Is it possible there was some kind of error in judgement? Sure, I mean the chance of that happening isn't 0%. But it seems unlikely.
However, an argument could be made that the ToS can be a bit too strict, and the penalties heavy handed

I'm glad their penalties are heavy handed and that their enforcement of the ToS is as strict as it is. If they weren't as strict or if they didn't resort to the responses how they do now then people would only be more inclined to skirt around the ToS. It's really not that difficult to abide by them.

I mean, yeah we don’t know the details. But we do know it was enough to merit somebody reporting them, and that the GM did whatever due diligence is required of their job, and that said GM decided it was indeed enough of a violation to merit a warning.

That the OP is vehement in saying they’ve done nothing wrong, and seems to care more about a “blemish in a perfect record” more than trying to understand what of their behavior could possibly be interpreted as reportable gameplay is very telling. Moreover when they admit to making questionable gameplay decisions that could very easily be misunderstood as malevolence.

Most people would just take this up directly with a GM and chalk it up to a learning experience, and perhaps offer insight on how to avoid future infractions without threatening to go full on rage mode.

I hope OP figures this out, and hope they do indeed find themselves innocent if that is the case. But if it isn’t I hope they accept the GM decision with grace and let it be.

As far as tank stance is concerned, if you level sync it turns it off. This includes getting d/c in a dungeon and logging back in when it syncs you upon return.

Didn't seem right to me, but I tested it with Trusts and it does work this way.
So I stand corrected, there is a scenario where tank stance drops without player input.
Not sure how I never noticed that before, since I'm fairly certain I must have DC'd while tanking leveling or 50/60/70/etc. before.

At any rate, apologies to OP since that was the major issue I had with their story.
Hope you fill out the appeal and that works out for you then.

Average Forum Poster: OMG my toxic behavior was flagged by carebears! The community to toxic for reporting my toxicity! SQEnix is censorship! FREEDOM!

Average FF14 Player: I have never been flagged/reported/banned because I act like a human when I play.

as much as I hate the 2B boot turning out leg into spaghetti...are you sure you replying the right post

isnt this thread about OP getting a GM warning?

It's been said in this thread before that sometimes people get marked for behavior that happened almost a year ago. A friend of mine got sent a lil email over a retainer name he changed months ago (changed it due to its less than innocent nature, but not before someone saw it on the MB). We might be focusing too much on this one particular incident, and not considering this may be from a terribly long time ago.

Don't know if this is intentional as to either watch player behavior, or to put distance between the reported and the reportee.
