Online Bullying - A Dev request for a response and discussion

[avaughnimous]

I don't condone the language I saw there, but being an adult seems to be the best course of action. Classifying them as bullies is a bit much considering I can literally choose how long I want to put up with immature nonsense like that. Kick them from the party, or leave yourself and requeue. Asking the devs to go over stuff like this is a waste of time and resources.

Why block out their names, publicly shame them, we can look them up on lodestone and go out of our way to avoid them.

The duty finder seems to be full of a**holes. We had a tank that would run off when a mob was at a quarter health and pull more mobs. Then yell at the healer because they weren't healing him (well if your out of range its hard). We get to the last boss, wipe once then beat him. He says "Your welcome" then "I cry for the tank that has to tank for you next" and leaves. We wrote him off as a jerk.

He was being bully. But there are different extreme's to being a bully. If the guy in the picture had just kept saying "LOL dude you suck" that really wouldn't be against any rules and you could either blacklist him or leave the DF and just move on with your life.

The problem was when he started cursing and using the N-word. Which, is not only uncalled for, but against Square Enix's rules. We can scream 1st amendment rights all we want but A. This isn't an American company, and B. 1st Amendment rights are suspended when it's a private corporation. They have a legal right to ban you for any thing you said. Really. They could ban that guy for saying "LOL dude you suck" and they have every legal standing on their side.

Telling someone to kill themselves isn't actually protected speech either:

Honestly when people act like that, just laugh and tell them how delicious their tears are. Sure they will rage harder, but it just increases the comedic value of it all. I don't like what they do, I don't agree with it and a kick/report option would be welcome...But the fact of the matter is that it won't make it stop, I've been playing online games for many years and every single game has this issue.

That said all of my DF experiences thus far have been really good in terms of personality and for that I am thankful, though I'm sure my asshole group is just a click away.

Yes. This.

Hey guys I encourage you to all to go to system>Support Desk>Contact Us>Report Harassment. Last thing we want is this turning into LoL type of community, best thing we could do is make noise about it and show that we have zero tolerance against immature people who don't show respect. And remember you can always take a screen shot and go to http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...382&la=1&fty=2 and report harassment there too if you prefer that way. Don't let people treat you like dirt guys. Lets create a healthy community, and make it happen.

The pathetic people who get off on this kind of chat need to be banned. End of story. There is no excuse to talk to other players like this.

Edit: I hate league of legends because I don't do MOBA's but from what I understand they police this trash. Banning someones level 50 or multiple level 50's is a great lesson to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say.

Bullies

Duty finder is increasingly becoming a playhouse for these folk, attacking any player, new or old, not just for their performance or ability, but going as low as attacking race, gender, sexuality and god knows what else. They are not just 'trolls'.

Get over it. Black list them if you don't like it.
