Fellowships need a report button

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

To the OP:

None of the interactive methods of communication (PF, Fellowships, actual CHAT messaging) has a 'button to report'. You can click on a person's name in chat and issue an RMT report. Or you can do what hundreds of your fellow posters do all the time -- issue a formal report using the methods the game already provides.

If it upsets you enough, you should be able to remember it while working through that process.

This seems like an unnecessarily passive aggressive response to be honest.

They've even stated they reported it as is, but honestly - adding a report feature to other core interactive systems in the game would be nice, too. The report system as is may be thorough, but it's a hassle for someone to go through and especially if many people are doing things worthy of report in a short span of time or in the same instance.

The right click -> report feature was actually a good idea, it just shouldn't really have been limited to RMT and only limited to right clicking someone's name in chat.

I disagree, in fact I expect the fact that reporting is designed to take more effort than is usual in such an environment (when, as we see from the "report RMT activity" button, the facility for it not to in other cases is certainly possible), is a deliberate and intended feature, especially given the way Square Enix handles reports.

Remember that all of your reports in this game are reviewed by a human. None are rubber stamped by robot that I'm aware of (with the possible exception of the use of profanity - I'm still not sure on that one because I've heard from buds that they got suspended in far too short a time for normal human review, suggesting that reported chat logs are pre-scanned for profanity violations and if it's found are subject to summary judgment without need for a GM to confirm).

Also that compared to almost any other gaming service, you descend the penalty volcano at a glacial pace (in fact, you used to not be able to descend the penalty volcano at all, practically speaking), so reports actually actioned affect the person's status virtually forever (on a video game timescale).

As a result, a reporting system that forces people to be more sure of themselves before submitting, rather than make it easy for rage reports to be made, is virtually essential. Otherwise, the work load will probably become too much for SE to handle economically in a timely fashion, which will more than likely result in the situation you see in most other games (where the substance of the report virtually no longer matters, and account action is taken based almost exclusively on the number of reports someone receives - a situation which can be and in fact is heavily abused by bad faith actors, sometimes - see for instance the Ahn'Qiraj gate event in WoW Classic - to the point of virtually becoming a gameplay mechanic rather than the customer service tool it is intended as).

Absolutely none of this makes an easier Report function for core game systems, such as PF listings and Fellowships, unnecessary.
