/Yell & Rmt counter measure

[Shougun]

edit: the thing with it being optional... once you disable it and someone uses it expecting you to use it too, it will end up in "Y U NO LISTEN?!" misunderstandings. And having to turn it on/off all the time is a bother.

I dont think people will expect you to have the global chat on, if you are trying to talk to -one- person through global chat.. you're doing it wrong.

Ah yeah. I remember back when Ps2 FFXI came out someone complained about having their mule banned because the name 'no' was offensive to JP. The user didn't have time to move his inventory out of his mule and lost everything that was stored on that character.

I think Wolife hit it in the head with that sue thing, because while GMs responded quickly I remember some pretty big tyrants as well. So SE was probably like "yeah... this isnt going to happen again, you just got permanerfed"
(Just want to make sure everyone knows I'm not saying all the GMs where / are like this, just the bad of a few spoiled it for all)

There WAS actually a class action lawsuit filed against SE/an FFXI GM because he mistreated someone with dyslexia. It may be related to that, but I don't know what the timeline for it was. All I can tell you is that FFXI's and FFXIV's GMs have been completely useless to me from start to finish, on both games.
