Please make shout chat abuse punishable

[Ardeth]

I mean because if your social 8/10 times you will be reported for some bs reason kind of the devs/gms fault the game is so anti-social, your punished for being social and having fun lol

That's inaccurate. People like to deflect with that, but it's not remotely true. Go into a PVP game while losing by a 90% margin and you will see some vile shit get spewed. If people are afraid of getting reported those people are idiots. I've pretty much been unfiltered for almost 12 years and I have never been reported for language.

I think it's just more console players and just player contempt. Even when you join FCs it's a crap shoot if you even fit in let alone get treated like a human being. Groups mostly consist of the bare minimum and dead FCs. It's just such a terrible experience that I can't fathom how people have such positive ones. They must have the lowest bar for what friendly is.

I've been on Aether and Primal and Crystal it makes no damn difference. Not a single person I have played with or joined their FC or Discord in the past year has wanted to play this game at all. It has been such a negative experience I'm still shocked I haven't unsubscribed and walked away permanently and no this isn't a Dawntrail is bad post. This was like this before Dawntrail. It's just a steady decline and I'm tired of it.

Looks more like a "you" problem then anything

Looks more like a "you" problem than anything

But how? I always join FCs and friend groups wanting to play with others and they're never on. If they are on they're on different servers and they are busy doing something. After a few weeks of passing "Hellos" and "goodnights" are they your friends?

I'm an adult I have a job. I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm giving it 110% because I'm not, but I've tried and tried and tried. I'm fucking sick of it. Why is it so hard to find people who want to play the fucking game they're paying for?

But you know what it's a "me" problem.

Not the groups of silent players in duties or the clumps of silent players in major cities who don't give a shit about you. The players who if they even do say anything give you an "o/" and a "gg" The only time anyone engages in anything it's negativity. Either you or someone else sucks and they feel the need to dunk on you.

I'm just so tired of this socially inept response that it's because of "you" and not "them." Because you don't know me.

You don't work all week to have your FC filled with people social time be you playing solo.

Because that me every day. And nothing I do seems to solve this issue.

You literally are playing on a dead DC, people do play the game especially on Aether, the other DC's are more laid back and casual/just hang out, that's just how the game is, but if you couldnt find people on Aether for content, then you are the problem.

Also you seem to have a lot of toxicity around you, I am well aware FFXIV is a toxic game to crazy extents, but if you have THAT MUCH around you, once again, you might be the problem or at least part of the problem.

This post proves other wise, screaming that people should be punished for using shout chat for social roleplay/venu's and getting upset people are using the chat because they don't want to see it when that is a personal proplem

I never said they should be banned. I said it was annoying. Gave what I used to block phrases and said that I blacklist the shout chat person if they somehow get past my filters. I don't care what other people want to do for fun.

We went down this path with me saying chat felt so useless to me that I was willing to turn it off. My social woes aren't attached to shout chat spam.

Go back and reread it before you attribute me to some fascist person controlling everyone. Now that says more about you than me.

I'm so sick and tired of people world travelling and even DATA CENTER travelling just to fill up my chat log with their horrible ads for their horrible venues. In the past, using shout chat to advertise your Free Company was annoying, but tolerable. But now it's just gotten to a ridiculous point. Why should I put up with ads all the time? This was a huge issue in PF that thankfully got fixed, but having ads in shout chat might be just as bad.

SE devs please do something about this. Make it reportable and punishable. If you don't want to do that, at least add more words to the Term Filter. 10 case-sensitive options is not nearly enough. 100 might be close.

Maybe you should close your text chat if it bothers you that much

The only thing I'm getting sick of seeing is the Avengers of Hope FC as that seems to be every five minutes in every.single.zone. People have constantly told them to either just shut up or that no one cares, yet they keep at it.

[Thurmnmurmn]

As others have said, just ignore them. It's not like someone is holding a gun to your head saying you have to read it.
Otherwise, use ignore or the chat filter.

Mentioning something is 18+ and it's content isn't against TOS. Also gambling isn't either. As long as the gambling is in game and can be verified. Once it goes into discord, then it's against TOS.

For folks who don't seem to be having fun in FFXIV, I'd suggest taking a break like I get it I have a solo FC for a reason but the majority of time I do like doing dailies, working on Ex3 now, and that I don't find most ppl apart from LL to be a AFK sim. I know it's hard if you have a house but just trying a bunch of FC each time over and over is tiring esp if you dislike them.

If you feel like FFXIV isn't bringing you joy, I'd just stop trying to force it to work out.
