The vote to kick thing should be satisfactory enough as I'm sure people intent on afk'ing can just as easily setup macros to move their chars every so often.

Yeah some others on that JP thread (including myself) said the exact same thing.
Probably can do enmity checks + time but even with that it still can be automated (in this case however it becomes more of boting so it's bannable offense so I'm cool with that if we get to report them idiots and get them out of the game for good...lol)

Today's Posts:

- Seems like SE likes where FATEs are at in terms of the xp they award, as instead of nerfing them they're just raising the xp that everything else will offer. (dungeons, guildhests, guildleves all confirmed to be boosted now whether it's via base xp values or gain bonuses from the armoury bonus)

- The "bug" with the dungeon queue cancelling immediately in most cases is tanks looking for a group in progress so that they don't have to join a fresh group and can get their myth/philo faster. I don't know how they plan to address this other than creating a limit in which how many times a person can queue within a certain period of time. Something like 3 times within 10 minutes or something, since there's really nothing you can complete in that time frame under normal circumstances.

Oh so is that what it is? I was thinking it was more technical bug related issue, I don't like to use DF as much but my wife always does and I noticed sometimes she gets that cancelling stuff over and over, sometimes 6-7 times in a row and it's ridiculous lol

The problem with the DF sounded like something I've seen even with low-level guildhests, so it may have multiple causes. I thought maybe someone was AFK and their accept/commence dialog timed out, or they clicked "cancel" because they wanted to finish a guildleve or FATE or whatever. Usually it matches up again almost immediately after that and we start the content. I never had cancels happen over and over, though.

When you cancel your queue you get dropped and need to queue from the back of the line again. For DPSs and healers this is undesirable but tanks almost always get instant matches so they can simply cancel and re-queue to "shop" for a group in progress. This is usually the case whenever you finally get a full group and someone drops immediately (as Orophin described). So from the DPS or healer perspective, they'll just get constantly matched and dropped until they get a tank that don't mind a fresh run.

I am so happy that food will last upon deaths. I'm going to finally continue leveling my culinarian who I only got to 37 for Steady Hand 2

What are the "market issues" mentioned in the latest translation? Them saying they will be taking legal action means it's quite serious.

edit: this?

Yes, this. Hackers sending fake AH buying orders in your name, to make you buy crap items for millions of gils.

I was wondering...in the last post Rein translated...they mention EX Hotbar...what is that?
