Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[xenahawk]

I am at a literal loss for words right now, because I received a warning DAYS ago now... for "grief" tactics. Excuse me? What? When the HECK did I participate in "grief" tactics, in fact I complain about griefers CONSTANTLY, but I am going to be hit with some warning for something I most certainly did NOT DO. I barely even chat in this game, and now my entire account will have this nasty mark on it, warning me for something I didn't know I did in the first place?!

I haven't logged into the game for like 4 days now, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Is this because I leave many dungeons I get into? Because I don't hardcast raise players? Because I try to focus on DPS uptime while juggling heals? Am I going to have to be paranoid about how I play the game now? Why doesn't my own game experience matter?

UNBELIEVABLE. I literally cannot believe this. I cannot think of a single instance of me doing this. I have yet to speak to a GM, or contact support, but I cannot have this nasty mark on my account for something I never did. Ridiculous. I log in to cap tomes and this is what I am greeted with.

I am sick and tired of many in this community whining about anything and everything, just because they don't get coddled or for some other apparent slight. SO sick of it, but I hadn't been hit by some idiotic warning before on my actual game account. If you want to enforce your TOS so strongly, maybe I will start reporting every single player everywhere who dares utter a curse word - can't beat them, then join them!

well i really hope you get it worked out on what the issue was. i dont like the idea that they would not tell you the specific reason for it because "grieffing" is a pretty vague term and can easily be some sort of miscommunication or someone else having a bad day and taking something wrong. honestly i would hope that the ff14 team wouldnt just blindly hit people with warnings without investigating so i hope you can reach out to them and find out the issue.

Not letting offenders know what sort of offense they’ve committed is quite possibly the worst aspect I’ve known in this game.

Guess we all gotta learn how to be psychic? To read another’s mind… lol…

I honestly think we should just print this thread and publish it on amazon books. After all, at this point why not.
