My conversation with a GM, regarding 'harassment of another player'.

https://imgur.com/RlRjeto

My conversation with the offended player, after a week of trying to figure out who I might've offended, and what I'd done to deserve a strike on my account.



No, I'm not an rear end in a top hat. I like to pet elezen. That's all.

Not every person who's been given punishment by a GM did anything offensive or harmful. You're just lucky enough that no one's bothered to report you yet. Your assumption that anyone who's gotten in hot water must be worse than you? Up for debate.

So am I correct about Cooldown hitting at full power during Overheat, and if so does that mean I should be spamming it when I get Overheat, or does that just change at 64 when your main attacks get the Heated bonus? I'm not clear on where in my rotation Cooldown goes, is it only to fix mistakes?

God that serial pet-ist is just gross. The way he types in that official way, the "that's all", etc.

This guy probably posted:

"How am I supposed to know if someone doesn't talk to me," he says, climbing over a womans book and removing her earphones. "I just want to be friendly and say hi, how can I possibly understand when someone is feeling uncomfortable," he continues, jogging after the woman as she runs away.

This Guys Literal Words posted:

I don't think you understand that I don't blame the player for reporting me. You're kind of misunderstanding it. You might note that I was very cordial with the player when interacting with them. My problem lies with SE. Also, I'm on Balmung. It's an "RP" server, unofficially, anyhow. They told me to stop in a way that seemed in-character. ie. an expression of their character's wishes, not the players.

For those not well-versed in RP, there's a difference.

Okay, at first I was on his side about how silly it was to get reported and then not be told why you're being reported.

And then I saw the second link.

So the problem with it being like nazi germany is that he's not the one being the nazi, got it.

A non-insignificant reason I still post here is because the $10 sunk cost tends to keep people far, far more honest than the average Redditor.

plug if someone gets banned here and reregs, it's double the amount of fun because you know they paid for the privilege of coming back to get shat on by everyone.

Also there's no expectation here that everyone has to respect your opinions, and you can't game the system to get voted up and hide any disagreement.

There's a price to pay for committing to a gimmick on SA. There's no such price on reddit because moderation is often lax.

not to detract from weirdo chat because it owns, but i just got bard to 70 and i have questions

single target rotation seems fairly straightforward (apply dots, crit buff, sing a song and react to whatever buttons light up). where i'm a bit lost is aoe rotation. what it feels like i'd want to do is sing mage's ballad for those sweet sweet rain of death resets but realistically it would take too much time to apply dots to targets first, no? would quick nock spam just be better in that case?
