If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I like the part where he argues with the GM like he didn't just get caught red-handed.

And by "I like" what I mean is that it was extremely juvenile.

Like its kinda cool you got put in FFXIV GM Jail but then going all "I was just having a party with my FC what happened" is really loving lame. Just laugh it off and take the hit.

Unrelated, but a third (fourth?) ERP/courtesan FC has sprung up on Balmung called 'Keepers Kiss'. So proud of my server.

Goons most certainly care an awful lot about what players do on their own time in the game.

It constitutes in game harassment and stalking. Being AFK is one thing, but this was far beyond a simple /follow.

I'm aware this guy was probably being a creeper but I often put people I know on follow when just afking to see how long it takes them to notice and if they put my character in a neat place when I come back.

I don't understand it. I see them around Idyllshire or Limsa or whatever occasionally but they're never actually doing anything weird (beyond being named Strawberry Panties).

It sounds like Gort only got in trouble when the other player asked him to stop and he didn't (and then she presumably reported him maybe?) so uh...just hope nobody does that while you're AFK I guess.

I've played a game where one of the players was a Japanese investment banker irl and role played as a medieval dame and would call everyone gentle persons. Whatever floats their boat. Like I said, it's fun to observe.

My only Strawberry Panties experience was a random DF dungeon run where they were the only other competent player. Therefore I support SP and oppose goonstalking based on sample size n=1.

The Vanu own more than expected, both new dungeons are pretty good (the Arboreum is amazing), Void Ark looks and plays better than Alexander even accounting for raid size, and Thordan is one of the best singular pieces of content the game has ever put out. Also the story is fun.

The rest of it is middling to lovely.

True, I actually forgot about them though because it's been such a difficulty to queue for them. I think the duty finder is fixed now though? Hopefully?

Yeah, it's fixed as of Monday.

For those not in the loop: Up until 3.1's release, the Duty Finder was picking content before picking players, leading to a ton of Duty Roulettes popping for the lowest level instance available, even when it was a poor fit. In 3.1, they tried to fix it, but in the process they created a system where two partial groups couldn't queue past each other, breaking queues behind them. YoshiP actually asked people to not queue as a group for a few days, and then they fixed it.

Does he just not understand that more total potency = more total damage or something?

It's always frustrating when I see someone parsing really low in a dungeon, because unless it's BLM (cast bars, plus it's my main) it's hard for me to tell them why.

If its low enough to matter, I usually just say "these aren't dying fast enough" and give an idea of how they can increase their dps by saying "didn't see a lot of blahblah ability effects going off, should try getting those in"

If you're CONSTRUCTIVE with your advice and not just "stop being poo poo dps", they usually don't get mad and are happy for the help.

I did a sastasha hard with a monk with a level 45 weapon. It took 50 minutes but we cleared it. Mostly because we had a goon healer with the patience of a saint. And, you know, skills.

I also recently did a DD with a tank who purposely tanked everything in aoes. The dps called him out and the tank got lovely and quit.

Mostly this game is chill and fun but those aren't the runs you tell stories about

Our first healer was bad and laggy so we wiped on the first two bosses a few times before he finally quit. The replacement goon healer got us through
