A few of us tried every channel of support and every channel gave us macros, and that they had no "power" to assist us. This GM specifically dodged around every question I had about if any action would be done to get me and other members out. A week or two almost passed before we were fed up and the FC master literally told us to give her furniture or she wouldnt let us out. The GMs never helped, and never assisted us. And mentioning this got me banned for a week from the FFXIV official forums.
The GMs and team in this game are absolutely terrible.
Pardon my ignorance, but how can someone lock you in an FC house? Can't you just teleport away or log out and back in to re-appear outside the estate? I can understand being locked out, but not in.
FC members can be locked out of their house, which means if they have a personal room, they can't destroy it, effectively being held hostage in the FC.
Oh goodness, I feel stupid now. That makes sense. I do have to ask, how did the event turn out? I hope that FC leader is kicked or out of the game.
Nope. They're still playing, still own the house, no punishment whatsoever. GMs didn't do shit about it.
The only reason people got out was because the player that lead in their absence gave into their demands for furniture/gil.
I was one of many that reported the FC leader for harassment, the GM said they could not accept reports made on behalf of another player and even though we said Allegro was right there in front of us, waiting for a GM to speak to, the GM said they could only address Allegro in the order the tickets were received even though they sent one long before any of us did.
GM support in this game is a joke.
Unfortunately, in this instance, I do not believe the GM even knew what the problem (what kept everyone from just leaving) is or was. They didn't have the power to do anything about the housing keeping them locked issue (I'm at work but I've read a few things here or there about what usual powers GMs have and don't have.) but they really should have dealt with the issue involved with the FC leader griefing people.
Tiergan, with Tiergan's FC help, was only able to recreate the issue in a -very specific- circumstance. Guest Access to the Estate must be turned off. The GMs, most likely as most of us didn't know, that people couldn't remove furnishings if they have 0 privileges, No Estate Hall Access -AND- Guests cannot enter the estate.
