Please add loot griefing to "Prohibited Activities"

[jimmybe29]

Hey, so this is a suggestion/complaint thread because of something that happened yesterday in party finder and it's not the first time i've seen it happen.

Basically yesterday evening I was doing P8S (usual weekly 2 chests) and the random weapon that dropped was GNB, we had a GNB is our party who already had the 635 weapon. Therefore he couldn't roll on it so I tried rolling, so did other players in the party.

The GNB then proceeded to swap his weapon to another, delete his 635 weapon so he could roll "Need" on the savage weapon and grief the 7 players who tried to roll for it.

This is obviously a griefing tactic, the player then trolled us in chat and was ofc proud of himself; I went through the "Prohibited Activities" FFXIV page didn't see a specific mention of this tactic that has existed for years, of course this counts as "griefing" but I think this tactic should be more known and definitely made clear that this is punishable.

Never posted here before, made sure not to mention any name and respect the rules;

EDIT: it's a suggestion thread to change the loot system or make it a bannable offense to do what the GNB did, not just being salty for no reason;
EDIT2: most player from the party including myself have already reported the GNB

behavior like this is allowed, stalking is allowed, but if you tell someone they're a silly guy, you might get a ban or two.

I agree with you, but even if SE takes a while to add stuff to prohibited activities they add some things in the end so I might as well try
it's actually very close to the "fraud" category in prohibited activities but should have a seperate thing as "griefing" since it's a specific tactic which has nothing to do with player agreement

I wish more actions were taken tho i see "stfu" every day in pf, community is more toxic by the day (it doesn't limit to just stfu", it's just an example of how frequent it gets)

If you ask someone to press buttons you get called an elitist who's forcing gameplay on others and then reported.

Yesterday I was doing a dungeon in WoW, someone accidentally early pulled a boss and the healer somehow died (blamed being OoM but idk how you run out of mana in WoW nowadays) and called us f-ing idiots, someone said no need for that kind of talk and he kept being rude. Someone immediately initiated vote kick and boy was I pleasantly surprised. He also pm'd me after being kicked with a really rude message lmao. Laugh amd report.
