Should I have reported this?

[Supersnow845]

In general the reportability of a comment that has no defined target is extremely shaky unless it’s something like racism or an attack against a real world protected class that is shouted in limsa

You don’t know if he was talking to you so no reason to take insult over it, if we continues doing that sort of stuff eventually he will say something targeted and that becomes an easy report if the person feels so inclined

My opinion on the matter is 14 players have skin like paper but that’s totally beside the point

Perception = Reality.

If you feel it was directed at you, then it was. If you feel you should report it, then do.

Personally, I'd shrug it off as people being jerks. Anonymity (like on the internet) tends to bring out someone's true character...and you'd be amazed how many jerks there are....

That is literally not true. If you feel it was directed at you, then you feel it was directed at you. Feeling something doesn't automatically make you correct.

I just want to massively agree on this. That’s some serious main character syndrome up there.

You just repeated what I said in a different way. ^_^

Does the FFXIV community really have no other problems as such little things?

Yes, he thinks your character is hideous, and now? That's his opinion and it's not the end of the world, so get over it!
Even if people get abusive, I don't give a damn! I just shrug my shoulders and keep playing. As if I would waste time in such people to report them, pfff... Shit on them and fine!

If you personally feel like someone is being rude or offensive in chat, and enough so that you want to spend time filling the form out, report it. If you don't or are too uncertain or dont feel strong enough to spend time on it, move on. Plain and simple. Worst case scenario - nothing happens. Best case scenario - someone gets their ass slapped for behaving like an ass. There's nothing to lose from reporting, other than your own time.

Wait so finding a character ugly now is a reportable offense? If I was a GM I would slap the person that filled the report with a suspension. Such a waste of a report.

With this kind of attitude, it's probably a young guy, i would recommend to just black list and move on, life will beat some sense into him sooner or later so no need to waste your time.

He was probably like, 11 years old or something. I've been in DF parties with people who screamed in caps and typed/played like they were missing chunks of their brain, and then around the halfway point they'd just admit that their big bro handed them the controls for a bit and they were literally 11 and had no idea what to do. On top of experiencing it, I heard a friend's story like... a month ago? About running into this 3-man squad that was just a hubby, his wife, and their kid all going through the msq together, and apparently it was adorable but also really really slow while they sorta guided their son through the encounters. Idk. Not saying age is an excuse to be an outright dick but nowadays when I see someone who's doing something so out of the norm that it gives me pause, I just assume they're a little kid and move on.
