FFXIV Clarifies Rules: Giving Advice to Others is OKAY.



The FFXIV team put out a new lodestone article on 29 October 2021, clarifying some of the misconceptions that people have with regards to some of the prohibited activities in the game, especially around communicating with other players, and giving advice to other players.

  1. The nature of the toxic casual community within FF and how itโ€™s now acceptable to be shit as long as youโ€™re having fun. This change of policy has given them a weapon they can use when being called out. Thereโ€™s a strong difference between being a dick and actually pointing out theyโ€™re underperforming. Unfortunately no tone is gonna change that this is a weapon now

  2. I dont really get the issue here.
    These are the same rules as before just formulated out,because there must be some ppl out there without common sense and behaviour who searched and used loopholes.

  3. um…this is way too over speech policing territory.

    Like in example 1, I would agree that it is a violation to force someone to use something from 3rd party or something.

    But if I say,
    "we can only beat this raid by using the strat's guide, so stop doing that and keep dying.".

    BOOM BAN….that's just no.

  4. Like the article says, the only rules they have actually added are the two regarding Party Finder (no advertising clear sales, no listing stuff in the incorrect categories). All the other rules have been the same for years, they just added examples and more detailed explanations for the sake of clarification. If you weren't getting penalties before, you won't get any now. Most likely a lot of people have never read the prohibited activities article before and got freaked out about it. They aren't ironclad laws, they are just guidelines for proper behaviour and you're not going to get penalties unless you're actually being nasty and get reported.

  5. One thing I think they could improve on with the conduct/penalty system, is that if you get sent to GM jail for breaking the rules and have to talk with a GM, they won't actually tell you what specifically you got reported for. They might tell you what rule you broke, but they won't say which specific word or phrase or action got you penalized, which can make it hard to know what exactly you did wrong and stop doing it. I have heard the reason they do this is to stop people from identifying or retaliating against the player who reported them, so I dunno, maybe it's a difficult balance.

  6. In communities I moderate, I always try and get a catch-all rule of โ€œdonโ€™t be a dickโ€ put in and this feels similar. You canโ€™t ever rule out everything explicitly, but you can get across that you have a general expectation of folks being decent to each other

  7. Its sad your finel fantasy piece of crap has to resort to becoming a police state in order to not be overwhelmed by assholes and profiteers. I think ill keep to guildwars or just do something else.
