Just had another thought - What if it was only permitted because they hadn't put in anything that cleared up unused plots?

Okay, but, it's been known for literally months that an FC Leader could do this. If they lock you out of the house, you can't reclaim your shit, if you can't reclaim your shit, you can't demolish your room. If you can't demolish your room, you can't leave the FC. This was known literally on day 1 of the patch that implemented private rooms in FC houses. The idea that a GM - a freaking Game Master - could simply be unaware that this was possible is, quite frankly, inexcusable. Do they not play the same game that we play? Are they stupid? Is support composed of three baboons sitting around playing with their own feces? How in god's name could they just not know? I mean, unless support is composed of blithering idiots? Edited to Add: I think it's a hell of a lot more likely that support simply doesn't have a tool built into their client that would allow them to take control of the FC and rectify the situation. Either that, or they're falling back on the old idea that the FC Leader literally owns the FC and everyone and everything within the house. But that would be dumb. |

I'm going with "they don't play the game", but that's because I'm generally convinced that game developers, distributors, support staff, etc, don't play the games they make/sell/service. There's just too many layers of false promises, awkward design, glaring yet unsolved bugs, and general incompetence throughout the industry for me to have any other conclusion.

What I mean is that a lot of people could not replicate the issue. Even though most of us have played with housing since it came out. No one I knew of could actually describe exactly what was the problem until after this situation happened. So yes I can believe them not knowing -then-. Just because someone says it has happened doesn't mean everyone knows how or what to fix. There were a -lot- of responses saying "uh we just did x y and z and we still were able to remove stuff just fine." "Did they actually even try?" If you have a room, no rights, you can still remove your furnishings, demolish and check yourself out. Even two months afterwards people still go "uh I replicated this myself by putting myself in a rank with 0 privs and had no issues removing furnishings are you sure they were actually locked in?" What I am pretty sure of though is that they didn't have any such tool that would actually remove a leader or change leaders. I have met a few FC leaders who do view the FCs as "theirs" and all the members' accomplishments as theirs when they have done nothing to receive such praise. /salty I've spoken to a few GMs over harassment issues and a few of them (because I can't remember the names of the ones I've spoken to just that they have been different before) have spoken as if they've played the game a bit. But the GMs aren't QA. |

No one had ever really been warned or anything of the sort when that happened though. Just that there was a discrepancy between what someone asked of a GM and what was answered on the forums.

In the wake of housing relinquishment and all the real/fake housing resale ads in party finder there have been numerous reports of people getting official warnings placed on their SE/FFXIV accounts by GMs. A bunch of threads were popping up about it on Reddit with screenshots, I will try to look them up when I have time.

Kellach's post follows up on my post meaning that BEFORE DEC 25 2015, there weren't any credible or infallible sources that said people could be reported and warned.
The OP image can be, it can not be, a troll image. I will never know since /tell conversations can be faked. Here, I was actually conversing with osric. I was faking a conversation with Ilwe as Ilwe was in Saint Mocianne Arboretum. Ilwe could not have possibly have sent me that tell and I could not have sent Ilwe the tell. After Christmas aka after a bunch of people reported RareX for their trolling PF with sales, the monday morning (NA time) there were then reports of people getting warnings as I've recorded here (on Page 4) So far head GM has not posted on the official forums. :/ |

That doesn't mean that other people did not ask/and or become aware of it and bring it to others attention before now. I just means people wanted/needed more proof. Which as I have said, is fine. It is more clear now than it was then. Spiffy keen. However, claiming that it was suddenly made against the ToS now is a slightly specious reasoning. It always was, recent events have simply drawn that fact into sharp relief. That is all I am saying.
