3/25 - FINAL FANTASY XI Online (MINOR) Manners Revision Notice

[Katoke]

"Examining other players continuously to disrupt their gameplay."


Thats retarded .... There is a filter for that....

[Burrows]

So anything can be construed as offensive if the GM wanted it to be.

What the fuck is this shit?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[matt4684]

someone just pointed this out to me, but has this whole "Hi, we can throw you in jail for screenshotting GM conversations" part of the agreement always been in it?

This game has a wonderful feature that real life lacks in terms of offensive people- the blacklist. If you don't like what someone says, just fucking blacklist them. Oh what I would give to be able to blacklist some of the gay retarded crippled fat spic squatters in the real world.....

Tell me about it. I love my blist. But do you know what? There's actually a limit to how many people can be on your blist, mine's full. Now if I want to add anyone I have to prioritize and delete an old person first.

Anyways, like has been said already, I don't think anything has really changed. Square is obliged to notify the users anytime it changes part of it's TOS no matter how insignificant.

Essentially they could do whatever they want with their game before this change and that's still true.

[The Blackrose]

I love SE's redundancy combined with contradiction. No holding monsters! But wait, we put in rage timers to prevent just this sort of thing from happening.

Then there's that nice bit in the GM Policy section that states they are explicitly not allowed to intervene on a holding call if an NM has a rage timer.

I wonder if you could make a head explode.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

This has always been the case. There is nothing new or ground breaking here.

Also, I think some people are profoundly confused about their rights when it comes to an online game.

The change? The wording of one item in "Disruptive Behavior" from:

Consistently depriving other players of the chance to enjoy combat over an extended period of time.

to

Actions that excessively deprive others of the ability to experience various gameplay features.

Can people please shut the fuck up and stop freaking out now?

[Khajit]

If they do it just to piss me off then yeah, I like to fuck with them and get them GMed

Go to Raizondetre on Quetz. try to look at his bazaar. watch as he spams /tells saying DIE DIE DIE and examine floods your log if you didn't have it filtered for hours before sending in the GM call. watch as hilarity ensues.

[Destinye]

I can't stand the fact they added examining to that list, if JPs hate it so much they can fucking use the filter. :O

It's not just JPs, it's idiots that constantly check people just to talk about their gear without offering helpful advice.

Words of sanity in an insane world.

[Destinye]

Day, that's why you go to OTHER forums or wait till you can check the site yourself to get the info..since it seems people here do nothing but cry and 'SE is trying to kill FFXI' and 'we should all go to WoW' blah blah once these kind of announcements come out >.>

[Lordender]

Yeah right, they won't do jack shit when a jp LS holds some HNM but when an NA LS does it and jp calls a GM action will take place within 2mins.

I remember several times back then when I played JP's NEVER got punished for holding certain mobs when it was clearly holding and the gm's always told the NA LS whoever called the GM that it was a special tactic being used.

That is a fucking joke. I remember countless times where jp's held khim/tiamat for atleast an hour before starting damage and nothing ever ever happened(over atleast 30 times) but I remember gm's getting on NA's asses for doing the same thing when held for 10mins.

[Destinye]

Random BS about JP favoritism.

You do know American companies does the same thing right? They favor US customers over even European customers and god forbid Asian ones trying to get help?

Enough with this favoritism bullshit. People outside of Japan are even lucky that the game was released outside of Japan as is, it's clear FFXI would have been better off staying a Japanese only release regardless if it would or wouldn't have survived 7 years because despite the fact people hate to admit this, but it seems the NA/EU base do nothing but piss and moan about everything in regards to FFXI and SE -.-

[Kenji]

Looking at these rules, pretty soon they'll add something along the lines of when our character gets over the age of 30, our palms will light up and we'd have to ride the carousel.

While I <3 the Logan's Run reference, I find this whole thread to be hilarious.

Seriously, people, it's already been stated: Don't be a dick, and you don't have to worry about it. From reading this thread, it sounds like a bunch of morons complaining that they can't be assholes ingame.

Newsflash: WoW has the same damn rules, albeit two: Third party apps are okay as add-ons, and a GM in WoW won't do anything if you've been scammed. So, in that respect, I like the fact that we can fight back against scammers in FFXI.

You can damn well bet Rapture will have the same rules, so the logic of "banning people from FFXI to get them to play Rapture" is out.

And lastly, they wouldn't ban every windower player, like they didn't ban every salvage duper, if they decided to get around to that. They'd ban 500 or so, and scare the rest.

Those banned would whine about how the game is "losing it's best." But as with the salvage dupe bans, the game will go on, the banned will be forgotten, and new people will arise in their place.

You may now continue your whining about how life is unfair. When you're done, I'll be handing out razors at the door, and instructions if you need them.

[Dimmauk]

We are lucky the JPs even let us play their game. AMIRITE?
