Please add loot griefing to "Prohibited Activities"

There's a thread on twitter, too, even though the person who tweeted it gave the wrong context it gained some traction (around ~500 likes)
I have chat logs from above your reply, and more from discord where he admits to it and is proud of it (wont name which discord) he was trying to justify his act by "no one plays gnb" which is untrue






We already reported him, and GMs have logs for deleted/looted items and such so if it's bannable there hopefully will be actions

Thus I stand corrected.

If you really wanted the weapon you could just play as GNB. You have it leveled. It would make your chances much much higher. At most the weapon would be free or you only compete with the other Tank.

Alternatively you could have asked prepull if the GNB weapon drops could you have it as you have a lvl90 GNB that could use it as an upgrade OR offer them Gil to guarantee the drop?

While I find it was rude and unfair to others I have to applaud the player's cleverness. And that as they are seemingly a master ninja looter they deserve all the respect a Lominsan Rogue deserves.

Although if you are doing Savage content on a different class one might argue why roll for the weapon if you realistically can't gear up multiple jobs and should focus on your main instead?

They really need to change up gearing with the whole "you can level every job" but you can "only gear up one".

I'm always surprised at the lengths people in this forum will go to defend spam and asshole behavior

Is there a way to edit? Also I’m surprised this even works. Loot eligibility is determined when the chest is opened why would deleting and item suddenly let you roll? Seems like bad programming.

I desynth stuff mid dungeon all the time if I can Need roll on it and I already have it, but like, you can't desynth ILVL 635 gear so this guy is 100% a [Word that goes against the ToS of Final Fantasy XIV]
He is probably a P*rser who wants to gatekeep his pinball Highscore like a real mature adult.

He raided with a static, which means he never had any issue to get BiS compared to PF players, he also is a P*rser, but the player admitted of doing it "for fun" to grief us and is proud about it as i've shown in screenshot in page 2.

Yeah man idk apparently it's the 7 players fault for not playing the job just to roll "need" on a weekly loot system that has 1 out of 19 chances (random weapon, without counting the 1 out of 8 chances to roll high enough to get it if it's not concerning a job someone plays in the party etc..) just to roll "need" on it
he's definitely not a scumbag for swapping weapon + deleting his to loot it for the sake of other people not getting it

If you really wanted the weapon you could just play as GNB.

You're missing the point, stop trying to defend and justify a move done with intention to ruin other players fun and grief them.

Pretty sure you can do the same without deleting items by putting them in your saddlebag.

Yes you can, but in that specific case the player killed P8S with his 635 weapon, swapped to 605 weapon after the kill, deleted his 635 to roll need on the weapon
also you cannot access the saddlebag in a raid

Omg this is so funny! I am so jealous now, that I am not doing savages myself!! >.>

I think what the GNB did was an a$$hat behavior. But (un)fortunately they don’t seem to violate regulation so there’s really nothing can be done outside reporting and pray something will happen?

The WAR could’ve queued as GNB themselves if they wanted a GNB weapon but whether they participate in this “If my friend not getting it, nobody’s getting it!!”-shenanigan or not is a different story. It could be just the GNB’s own issue.

The original tweet was a bit misleading. It wasn't the other tank in the party that wanted the weapon, it was OP of this thread. The tweeter assumed it was the other tank and that the GNB did it because they were in cahoots with the person who asked because she was tired and frustrated by the GNB actions. She also wasn't expecting the tweet to pop off so she didn't decide to check to see. Also the GNB admitted to doing it for lols.
