I could swear there was a site, tumblr, or subreddit just called "whywasibanned" that collected things like that, but a quick google reveals nothing but normal FAQ pages.

Was there an MMO that took the position of "if you say it was 'no reason' we will post the transcript right here" or did I imagine that from some internet joke?

Guild Wars 2 did that once on Reddit.

I know the Overwatch team used to do that, but I don't recall ever hearing of any MMO teams that did that.

I only recall that happening once on the forums and a lot of people asking why it took them so long to ban someone that was getting reported on average fives times a day for around six months.

edit: maybe 50 times a day. It's like 5,000 total reports before first ban.

I remember there was a dupe glitch in Guild Wars 2 and when people got banned and complained some of the GW2 mods came out and went "You didn't just 'try it out' you did this thousands of times"

I got banned from Facebook without warning and I sent a message to support asking if they could let me know wtf I did because I don't post to my wall or DM people etc and they sent back a message saying "We investigated and the ban reason was correct" then they closed the ticket.

Jokes on them because now I'm free.

Yeah, for clarification, carrds ARE indeed used a whole bunch by the roleplaying community, because god drat we don't get enough space to pitch our characters.

There's been various people claiming they were banned for carrds that they claim are innocent, but turn out to have things like onlyfans links, yeah. I think some amount of them were pinged for the literal pimping incident a few days ago and were just being super evasive.

You are not one of us.
A heads up for anyone that might possibly be interested:

Lunarcon, a player-ran in-game convention started last year, is happening again this year. There's going to be panels, contests events and more taking place over a few days, from 7/29 through 7/31 and is hosted on the Brynhildr World on the Crystal DC.

I'm bringing it up now, instead of closer to the date, because they're accepting entries to the various contests up until the 24th. (AMV, Art, Cosplay, Dance, Glamour, Housing, In-Game Cosplay, Live Skit, Machinima and Screenshot)
https://twitter.com/LunarConXIV/status/1544456091110584320?t=Hd9FJg2WDPotF9jgraH3eA

Given how popular last year's Lunarcon was when only World Visit was a thing, if you're interested in being there on your character and have to use DC Travel I'd recommend doing so at least a couple days in advance.

Forgot that happened on my home server last year. Should be interesting with DC travel—hope I can still do my regular routine without things falling apart! I’ll give it a visit at some point I’m sure.

I'm very tempted to enter the performance category with something that I've been joking about in and around RP for a while: Potion Seller in the form of a classic rakugo performance.

People have tried re-enacting it so often in my pharmacy RP venue that we've decided it must exist in-universe somewhere, and that's the funniest form it could be in.

I finally did it. I beat the final fantasy. Came up with a glam for each job and leveled them to the point of being able to use it. Which was a significant bit of leveling since they all needed pieces in the 70-90 range. Now I need to actually pick one to play. A large image to commemorate the occasion:

I remember last year one of the contestants basically did their own version of the "Crap Guide to..." videos for SAM, that JoCat ended up voicing in a video.

Today i learned that Guildhests don't stop at 15 or whatever you unlock them, they go all the way up to level 40. They teach you all kinds of useless stuff like dodging bombs thrown by goblins behind barricades. They should give realistic tutorials like how to pull 2 packs then hit a wall.

They are basically relics of an old time. They really should dump or redo them but it is a low priority.

My guess would be that Guildhests'll get a revamp in either 6.3 or 6.4, depending on how speedy they are on the HW and Stormblood Duty Assist additions. I imagine they want it to have a fully refined game experience package ready for when 7.0 hits, but getting the mainline stuff up to snuff takes priority.

It's kind of weird and messy that there are two separate sets of dubious tutorials with the Guildhests and the confusingly named Newbie something or other ones (which give the awesome equipment sets and ring).

Yeah, that was a rude awakening for me when I was working on unlocking Mentor roulette.

Speaking of stuff they gave up on, I wish they'd add more rank-ups for the Grand Companies.

You might be the multi-time saviour of the star, but you rarely turn up to your job in the military. It's more surprising that you haven't been fired than that you haven't been promoted more.

I just remembered that I had MNK at 65 before endwalker so I decided to come back to it and see how the changes affected it.

Now that only the last hit of the combos have positionals, to make it easier to remember is there any downside on putting the buff + dot hits on 123 and the other ones on 456 and just alternating between those combos?

Also, Elixir Field... does that mean I just jam bootshine 3x? I feel like I'm supposed to do dragon kick, bootshine, dragon kick, but with no way to enter opo-opo form for the guaranteed crit it feels wrong. Or do I always do this one 2nd, so I end the first PB in opo-opo form so I can go bootshine, dragon kick, weaker bootshine?

For the first combo, it looks like I just hit perfect balance, then do my normal combo buffing myself and applying demolish, then hit perfect balance again, do my combo wrong, then I get to Tornado Kick.

Perfect Balance gives you the form-based effect of whatever you hit so you can do Dragon Kick > Bootshine > Dragon Kick (or vice versa) and get the crits

Perfect Balance stacks count as 'having' Opo-opo form, so if you already have Leaden Fist go Bootshine/DK/Bootshine. If you don't, DK/Bootshine/DK. And the one thing about alternating 123/456 is that your buffs should be refreshed every other rotation, and the dot every 3rd rotation, so ideally the full pattern is something like 123-456-126-453-126-456 etc. I think.
