Er... Pardon? We weren't even aware of your presence until you ran into the middle of us and started making random, obnoxious comments and observations, which we largely ignored until you began spamming and making suggestive comments to the mithra. So far as I'm aware, only two members of our linkshell even spoke to you at ALL in /tells, only one of whom politely asked you to stop spamming at us. (I saw her screen, she was in the same room as me.) I don't remember exactly what was said but I can assure you it was polite, inoffensive, and non-confrontational. The only other member who sent /tells was none other than Ninomori here and from what he's told me he also only spoke to you after your 'nine divines' spam. As far as I know, no one at any point asked you to leave, only to stop spamming. Someone may well have, but really - After insulting, spamming, and harassing us can you blame them?


Had you been behaving like a grown-up, blacklisting would not have been necessary in the first place. Several of us were actually facepalming over how you left your duo partner to kill things alone while you stood in the middle of us to spam. It's especially odd when you consider that one in our group had helped you with your SAM unlock quest. Is gratitude dead?


We've been roleplaying on this server since PS2 release, some of us longer outside of the linkshell. Our policy has always been welcoming to anyone who wishes to watch or join in at random, however we've gotten our fair share of griefers and harassment also. We love the former. We don't take any more kindly to the latter than anyone else.

If you happen to see us roleplaying, feel free to watch, ask us about it, or join in. If it happens to be in an area that's bothering you or other players, send us a /tell and let us know. If you spam at us and harass us... Well, you get whatever's coming to you my friend.

Then explain all the Valdans and Galans running around Lakshmi. Being an *** is not against the rules any more than roleplaying in /say. Honestly, both groups are annoying to me, but until they do something against the ToS you won't see them banned.

Or, you could just filter /say when you see an RP group nearby and don't want to listen to them. Okay? Thanks.

This thread needs a doorman.

I'm fairly sure it must be illegal for a minor to witness this much intellectual *************

I've been annoyed at people who would blink their gear (on purpose) when I check them. Instead of ******** to them, I've learned to just type /c Name on them without targeting them, so that even if they blink it will still let me check their gear (they can even leave the zone and it wouldn't matter). I had the means to solve my own problem, even if it takes a little bit of conscious effort on my part.

The bottom line is, when someone/thing annoys you, you can either ***** about it (which tends not to do ****) or you can do something about it yourself. If you're the one annoyed by it, you should solve your own problem.

I'll go ahead and say right now that nobody here is going to make RPers start using private chat lines for their activities. Do you know why? Those party/linkshell chat modes are primarily used for OOC (out of character) discourse so that they don't have to constantly put (ooc) by everything that they say in /p or /l. I haven't ever been part of any RP group in FFXI before but I've observed how they work in other games.

I've never been bothered by role players after all the name *MMORPG* has role playing in its name back when i used to see alot of Canta pe me or what ever the LS's name was i used to see them alot around never bothered me once what they were doing we all *pay* our dues to SE so why shouldn't *they* do their role playing in /S /Sh if its part of the script? If you don't like it then just do /blist so each is on their merry way and leave each other to it.

We actually use the linkshell channel for both in and out of character chat. And a fair (95%) of said chat really is out of character. :P I've been away from FFXI for ages, but as far as I know, none of us are full-time role players. That would be wacky. e.o



We (as players) have all run by that mantra even before starting/joining the shell. While we really don't usually resort to using /sh as often as we're made out to be, I can't even begin to think of a reason that a chat in /s in the tavern in Port San d'Oria could possibly warrant a /blist, let alone harassment.

Sure, sure. Go ahead and flex your high INT and CHR. D: I'll bet you like romantic dinners and long walks on the beach too.
