Will i get banned for being bad player?

Honestly in normal content I can’t say I’ve ever seen a party member performing so badly that it felt justifiable to report them lol. Then again, I don’t have access to [forbidden numbers] lol.

I mean, there’s always going to be some ‘afk’ party members doing the absolute bare minimum while they watch Netflix, but I’d say that’s totally different from being misinformed / misunderstanding something about a rotation but still trying anyway. I think really as long you’re doing your best people don’t generally mind what the end outcome is as long as it’s victory (in normal content lol)

Making mistakes and not knowing all the content at all times is perfectly fine. It’s not a bannable offense.

I once encountered an honest-to-gods-literal-zero-DPS-healer... in a current savage. Even that wasn't worth the effort to file a report. Or say anything at all that might be construed the wrong way and get myself banned. Because at least they were pushing their heals.

You don't seem like a new player or something. You have over 100 posts and are level 100.

Of course you won't get banned for dying to mechanics. People go into daily roulettes expecting all the players to die to everything. Not because of it being hard, but because a lot of the players in the duty are new, first timers, returning players, playing an unfamiliar job, or don't fully understand the game yet (mechanic snapshotting, cast bars, common mechanic indicators).

Story content is designed with the idea that these sort of players (new and returning players) are doing it. So, they certainly wouldn't ban over it.

Well i'm not a new player and i have played FFXIV since 2013 (although not all the time and i have being subbed for 2490 days in total currently) and currently i only play FFXIV 2-4 days a week to do few normal daily and weekly stuff.

But i can't anything about feeling that everytime i die in any normal group content i could ended up making some players angry and mass report me for being bad player.

DPS rotations are like that. Especially melee DPS and their positionals. They cause tunnel vision and that was always part of their difficulty. Healers, tanks and ranged physical DPS don't have this quite so much, especially when you get used to them, although personally I find SMN and PCT to not cause tunneling either given their simplicity.

I only play as ninja, dancer and pictomancer these days and my main is currently ninja but recently i have being playing as dancer for while and few days ago i started to play as pictomancer again but with all of them i sometimes start to focus to the DPS rotation and ended up forgetting paying attention to the combat it self.

I haven't played as other DPS jobs i have at level 100 for while now and i havne't played with other DPS jobs that are under level 100 for while either.

I haven't played as summoner since 5.0, i stopped playing as healer since release of 7.0 when they are really boring to play in normal group content and i stopped playing as tank months ago due to fear getting banned for being a bad tank.

When you are about 20 levels above it, you can solo it using the Unrestricted setting. I guarantee you can enter the coils as a level 100 Pictomancer and kill the bosses in 1 hit each. You may not be able to complete them immediately on release, but you can eventually when they are several years old.

I did solo The Coils of Bahamut raids back in 6.0 and currently i do 2.0 and 3.0 raids and extreme trials for the weekly Wondrous Tails solo.

What i mean about not able to complete any of the endgame content is when they are new.

Just like now with AAC Light-heavyweight M1-M4 savage raids, i simply won't even try to do them when i'm simply terrible in FFXIV and i know that i will never able to complete them.

well these days i do have problems with normal group content because of 7.0 graphics that makes seeing bosses AoE attacks quite hard in many boss fights and then there is times when i'm simply too focused doing my DPS rotation that i forget to keep eye on combat it self and mostly ended up dying on either boss AoE attacks or on the boss mechanic.

Players who black list me to avoid be in endgame content with me then they don't have anything to fear about me be with them when i haven't done any endgame content since 2014 because back in 2014 i tried to do The Coils of Bahamut raids but i never able to complete The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 5 and since then i haven't tried to do any endgame content when i know that i will never able to complete them.
And since 2014 i haven't used party finder to join party or recruit party members for endgame content either.

I'm really sorry to hear that. If I was still subbed, then being in EU I'd try and persuade you to join me to try the 'current' unreal and to prog some extreme. If you put a blind group, no guide, it really is quite fun. Unfortunately you need to be in it for the fun prog and the clear. Because if you are in it for fun + rewards your plumb out of luck.
(That means joining farm parties with people who are staring down 50 clears, and then things start to get a bit more intolerant and a lot less fun.)

Dying is okay when learning stuff, the game teaches you mechanics via killing you.
Not enough people realize that death is a good thing in this game.

Will i get banned for being bad player when i occasionally die in any normal alliance raids, normal raids, normal trials and dungeons even i know what to do in boss mechanics?

Your name is "undead"! Even when you die, you will be alive!!
The name joke aside, it is punishable to become toxic towards players who make mistake, and want to learn from it rather than other way around!
I think I would have a permanent ban if this was the case ^^ I am a very easily distracted player who dies a lot ! But we get up and try again! Do not worry!

Only thing is: Do not trap PF! Bad days happens, and often I myself catch the desire "can I just join a prog PT that is beyond my practice point so I can at least try it?" After a week not seeing my prog point of 8-10 hours a day, hours and hours attempts in PF and never seeing prog points can lead to "I give up and join an advanced PT"
Even though I am at the point, I try to remind myself how awfully nervous I get in an advanced PT and make more dumb mistakes, in this case I am harassing the PT!!
So this is the only really case you need to pay attention of when it is OK to make many mistakes or not.


These do not apply to dungeons/alliance raid etc!
It is more in regards to Chaotic/savage/ultimates/extremes with PF!

You will only get banned for having bad glamour.

NN is a cesspool, I stopped caring after years of watching NN be used solely as global chat and hijacked by mentors who just talk and questions/concerns get lost in the middle of nonstop conversation.
NN was really nice in 2020 when I joined, mentors there were actually helpful and it made me want to give back at some point later.

Same spammers, trolls, spoilers, keep showing up with 0 consequences and if anything you're more at risk for getting banned yourself for dismissing someone from NN. There's alot of 'I'll be a nuisance, but if you kick me I'll report you'.

But this is abit off topic...
