All this doomism for nothing
I really wish people would think or do some sort of research before complaining about something that has been in the game for almost 3 years
Thankful for the clarification and all of the rules are awesome.
Frankly I think all the people complaining about this are probably the ones who've been engaging in this behavior all along. Clarity in the Terms of Service makes it more likely they will be reported for that behavior in tthe future. If they get banned for doing this stuff I say that's a good thing. FFXIV has a great community and I want it to stay that way.
I am all for being considerate, however it's impossible to have intelligent or meaningful conversations or discussions if you are always trying to make sure you never offend anyone with every word you say.
Nothing new here. Kids complaining as usual.
I just sat through 45 mins of Praetorium with 2 healers that afk'd the entire run. I asked where the healers at and they just went on about you get what you get. This is ridiculous!
This is exactly what I thought it was, that there were a few new policies added, but the majority of them were the same as they've always been but now just a bit clearer with examples, etc. for the benefit of the players. Cool.
I dislike grouping with strangers so much that I quit running dungeons except for the MSQ ones that I am forced to do to progress. In those I speak to no one until the end where I said "tyfg" and hit the escape button..
most people who were freaking out are ones usually teetering on the line of being reportable, i feel lol
You are right, I agree. I think SE should just remove the ability to chat. You never know when a sensitive loser is going to report you for giving any advice or making a suggestion. That’s why I don’t talk to anyone. All I type is “GG” at the end of dungeons or nothing and I leave.
All of this was obvious but I still enjoyed all the "I tell the drk to use grit in chat and a target reticle from square enixs assassins appears on my head" type memes
Damn I can't flame 0 DPS healers out of the duty finder, and then find their server and defame them in /shout, try to get them kicked from their FC, and harass them on alts and on discord until they quit and uninstall? MUH FREEDOM OF SPEECH!! /s
Apparently, basic "don't be a d***" TOS are so rare in other online games that reddit and discord think being asked to treat others with basic decency is terrible… ¯_(ツ)_/¯ There's a few things I don't like, but in general I think this is a very good TOS in my opinion.
I remember playing ffxi in 2002 or so, and it had the most amazing community. Fast foward to the real pandemic of 2021- snowflake syndrome-, and I can see why people fondly look back on that game as the best game back in the day for friendship and bonds. I guess people will just stay silent in duties still!
It's just that players need to learn to be more considerate and watch their words with others where as the usual response would be that if offended people just say something like, "you just a snowflake" 🙄 which isn't nice at all. It is quite sad that they needed to place actual examples for people to really get the message.
The rules really are "common sense" but apparently lots of the player base still need to be told about it more clearly.
I think one thing they should add, is that if you blacklist a player they should not be able to search you at all in the game. EVER as long as they're on your BL list. And it should also be updated that if I remove someone from FL that on their end I am gone as well. We need consent to be added to the FL yet when removed or even BL'd we are still on theirs at the end of the day which is quite strange.
They really had to release a public service announcement just to say "Why can't you just be normal?"
Just wait like 2 days. The fearmongering will blow over and people will go back to playing normally.
Doesn't his follow up today contradict the ToS updates? He states you can just leave a party but in the ToS it gives various examples that does not allow you to leave a group.
I've got 6,000+ hours into the game and have never been in any trouble. If you're not ruining someone else's time, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. 🤓
Party of assholes kicked me just before a final boss in a dungeon because they didn't like that i just spamed Freeze on trash pulls….. they got a ban deserved.
My issue was with something, that was apparently clarity not addition, is the if 1 of 10 players in an FC doesn't like a joke they can report it. That should read if 1 of 10 players doesn't like a joke they should leave the FC and go find another group of people to hang around.
Yes I say crude and lewd jokes. I say a fair many things that could offend someone I'm not changing and if 8 other people appreciate my humor and 1 person doesn't why should I get punished for this? Firstly I wouldn't know and second if I did know then I'd consult the other 8 to see if this person needs to be removed or if I need to leave.
Always keep in mind that there is a real live person on the other side of the Character Toon. They have real feelings and emotions, be kind. Always, be kind <3
I still can't believe people went "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHRYSALIS TEAR" when it came to the "abolute way to clear something" bit.
Like you can TELL those people never had the "O12S strat shouting match" experience (which is obviously what the ToS is looking at) and are just grasping for straws with terrible examples.
Is there a way to check if you got penalized? Or is it more like you just HAVE to know?
Well, this situation doesn't change much, just avoid any unnecessary communication in duties and if things go bad or you/others are not skilled enough just leave.
Tbh I was surprised by this. I saw your original video and thought that people would be happy cause we have more clarity, thus facilitating communication in the game.
Here is a problem with this ToS, say you are in a fc and for like 10 mins streight they did owo in the fc chat, if 1 person didnt like it, they can report it and people can get banned now and get strikes on there account. I can give many more ex's that this ToS can and will be abused
If only the system actually worked like it was designed and there weren't numerous documented horror stories because of fascistic GMs, particularly in NA.
there is no freedom of speech, ff14 is a private company
