I got banned from the official forums!
By Jassik 2016-02-10 16:28:36
he got banned for knowing the inner workings of some of SE's code and letting them know how to fix it
He was guessing at the inner workings to demonstrate how simple it would be to fix. I'd wager he got banned for being way too close with his guess.

I just received my free 10 day vacation from the stupidity that is the official forums for letting one of the moronic posters there know just how much of a idiot they are.

Original Post:
The reason for you to stop isn't depended on me being a genius, it's depended on you being a moron and spreading your stupidity like a virus. In before reported and banned for hurting someones feelings. So yeah I do have to point out how wrong and stupid you are because if I just ignore it then people will start believing something that is stupid and wrong and the world gets dumber just like you.
Even in your best case scenario of how the stats on grips don't even compare to dual wield jobs the difference in accuracy is 18. That's a potential of hit rate difference of 9%, and one hand jobs need 4% more hit rate anyway because the cap for the main hand is 99% instead of 95%. Similar to how 2 hands need more attack because their attack ratio caps at 375% instead of 325%. Of course this is even more pointless as JSE weapons are just stepping stones to use until you make a RME where the difference is greatly in favor of 2 hand weapons. And this is why your purposed change is stupid and short sighted. You are trying to balance for low geared players and don't care if the change will throw the balance of high geared players out of wack. On top of that there is already planned changes in the next update to address accuracy and what ever the purposed change is I am willing to bet it's not adding 18 accuracy on grips.

I didn't get banned from XI forums (yet) but I did get perma'd from 14 forums for saying "hurtbutt" and then months later posting a picture of campbells soup in a thread, just /10characters for text
I sorta feel scared any time I post on 11 since a mod directly replied to me about Sinister Reign. Don't even want to be on the radar.

Which that one I sorta get. I basically insinuated the guy is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, but still that was the nicest way of calling him HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE I could think of.
Other than that I had a handful of well thought out posts removed despite being more courteous than the person I was responding to, as well as a thread calling out the blatant abuse and censorship.
Valefor.Andrewviii said: Bahamut.Flupplewolfe said: Valefor.Andrewviii said: Bahamut.Flupplewolfe said: I am very happy to hear SMN adjustments are on the table! This is how I feel about this adjustment:
Uses could be found for it, as it gives us one more pact per apogee if we plan carefully but it also is limiting in that it doesn't help us say put on more wards sooner or do longer attack chains. It just lets us get more use out of wards in a battle situation where we'd favor rage over ward. Already doing Tumult Curator with a SMN in the party along with BRD and COR rotating buffs too, we reach the cap of max displayable buffs (especially since fenrir's takes soooo many slots), which lead to confusion and inability to determine when important buffs were going to fall off. I believe we and other SMN strongly feel that rather than the amount of buffs we can put on mid battle going up (or not sacrificing as much damage to apply the same number of buffs) our buffs should be more meaningful given that it takes so much time and often mana cost to put one on in the first place especially if you look at other mage jobs. To me our wards should be either unique or strong party wide versions of existing spells to constitute the cost of being able to apply less in a given duration. To me this was the original function and purpose of wards, just many have not kept up with the times at all. 13 damage reduction phalanx was meaningful at one point, but now that any mage with enhancing skill can reach 35 damage reduction, it is not useful to ever cast it (and I don't, I actually get more of using it as SMN with RDM sub and enhancing gear than using phalanx). SCH or a mage with SCH subjob can out do almost all our wards based on their spells, in shorter time. Phalanx AoE 35 damage reduction vs Diabolos 13. We get enfire, enthunder, ice spikes and shock spikes. RDM/SCH or SCH/RDM can accession these... and every other element, and I'm pretty sure at greater potency. What's worse, is that even though they can do that, they rarely do because they aren't valued. Endrain is a great ward, when the moon phase is right but Enaspir is very niche in use. Player stoneskin can reach 475 HP, but Titan's Earthen Ward is stuck at much worse values (still 248 if reports are to be believed which means it never kept going up with ilvl and is stuck at 99, much like healing wards and if that's the case with it, Ifrit's Warcry is probably in the same situation). I could go on but you get the idea, our wards are far behind and even what some of them do isn't valued enough to be cast by jobs that can both put it on the party faster and with higher potency. All that leaves a lot of SMN wards take both a high cost of time and have less meaningful effects, even compared to non support jobs, just other mages who sub sch for the aoe effect. It's not like our solo ability is great either, without 1 hours our dmg solo is painfully slow vs content Ifrit won't work on, and being so cornered into using a niche few pacts is I think the main problem. Out of all our cool toys I usually only use Haste 2, Earthern Armor, Flaming Crush, Volt Strike, Shock Squall, and occassionally TP Bonus, Warcry, and Enfire or Endrain if time. If doing bcnm runs for example, I won't get that entire list off. Our -25 Evasion down on thing's like Shiva's ward just don't make sense, why so little? During the right phase of moon Fenrir does more and it's not respectable either, not when Feint can put 250 evasion down, and distract 3 over 100, and again, any mage with rdm sub can put -35 evasion down distract, our wards for having a huge cast time are also very impotent. It makes them tend to not be used except for the ones most useful, which are usually the same ones which leads to less interesting play decisions and a lot of dead pacts.
For the adjustment itself I'm for it, if it's not the only thing in store. If it's a pick or choose thing though, I much rather would have at least some of our pacts scale with summoning skill because right now there is no way to enhance them, meanwhile mages get more skill, tons of fastcast and ability to put on tons of spell quickly, and more gear that enhances spells like stoneskin, and we are stuck in the past. If SMN had native skill in other magic schools, which they don't, they could at least use some of these on themselves. But they can't and defeats the point of having a lot of the wards in the first place. Even Aerial armor which I like, BLU gets a blink with many more blinks on it. It is not wonder so many BLU RME being made and jobs mastered, it really is stacked right now, and it isn't even used in the hardest endgame fights for aeonics. There always seems to be 8 or less people playing summoner at any given time on my server, there's even more WAR on all the time now. There's a few jobs less played than SMN but not many so I think SE would do well to give it help. The amount of work that goes into a good SMN is huge and it's much easier to gear a BLM, SCH or GEO in todays world than put that much effort into something unless you really care for and love it, and most the people here commenting outside people popping in because they want their jobs looked at instead, are dedicated summoner players that love summoner which imho is the right people to ask about the job because they not only will be most affected but have insights based on more knowledge. That said I don't pretend to speak for everyone, just myself. I thank SE very much for listening to us and I hope some of our suggestions make it into the game, thank you for making such an interesting and fun job to play and taking a look at the job balance. Nice wall of text. Ifrit's and a war's warcry give the same attack bonus, only Ifrit's lasts much longer and has a smaller cool down. Accession takes stratagems. When you are /sch you get a stratagem every 2 minutes, aka 4 times the cooldown of a bloodpact. Even if you are a main job sch with the gift for stratagem cool down gem recharge time is 3 seconds longer that ward recharge time, with the added bonus of not having separate timer for offensive stratagems. Occultation is self target, and no blu is going to blow a 10 minute cooldown to aoe shadows. A better example would be using accession with blink but that only gives 2 shadows instead of 4. If I was to take a gander over why feint has a higher evasion down than Diamond Storm, It's probably because feint degrades over time, only lasts 30 seconds, has a recast timer of 2 minutes, and isn't AoE.
You are basically complaining that you aren't better than every job at everything all the time.
1) You don't play SMN and always come in complaining about any job upgrade to any other job you don't play as far as I can tell.
2) You're always rude and sarcastic and not the least bit helpful, misinterpret what people say, exaggerate, or claim they said things other than they didn't.
3) Why aren't you banned yet? Seems people with much less aggressiveness than you are banned for much lesser things, to be honest, I kind of wish you were.
4) No, you haven't figured it out and no you don't know what I want more than I do. Here's a hint, it's not to have smn be better than every other job.
5) I didn't say have diamond storm do more than feint ANYWHERE. I was comparing potency of buffs available to other jobs and how small -25 evasion is. You're entirely out of line, and either didn't read it, or didn't care to and just cherry pick words you see with a sardonic attitude that has no place here. When you can get a better evasion down on one mob with your subjob something is wrong. When is AoE evasion down ever useful? So a pld can circle blade a ton of hard things? He'll just get a geo to apply torpor for -100 evasion down aoe except, he'll never be doing that and neither will the GEO because no one has a need for that. The things cleaved you don't need evasion down on and usually go with a magical ws anyway. Feint was given as an example of how high it can go, and it all this was already stated, you just wish to misinterpret things, as you have with many other posts by many other people.
6) Thanks for taking a jab at me writing about something I care about. Why don't you stop coming into discussions on job you don't play unless you actually are going to play them or say something constructive or useful once rather than intentional misinterpretations, huge exaggerations, and snarky passive aggressive putdowns.
7) You didn't address anything useful or factual that was brought up, all you did was misinterpret what I said intentionally and put it down. Stoneskin and Phalanx are very terrible when used with SMN wards. Most wards are applied at best for 1 to 1.5 minutes before most fights. Meaning even a SCH sub can keep up for competing with those wards. For SCH main, super revit, random deal restore many charges and they aren't required to use a strategem to cast offensive spells, and often don't. In fact after they blow a ton of charges buffing they usually switch to dark arts and will rarely use a strategem so how is them not having a seperate set of charges for offensive buffs even comparable in the least? It's not. You're misinterpreting things on purpose, you come into other discussion on other jobs you probably never touched on purpose to be misleading and you've done this a long time. It's very tired.
8) Warcry for avatars I do not think goes with ilvl while it does for warriors, also if you've ever partied with them as a SMN, which since you go in just being unhelpful to other job forums without actually playing the job then you wouldn't know about, they ask you not to use Ifrit's warcry because they get 700 TP bonus for using theirs. 1) Identity politics is a cop-out. Saying someone doesn't play x job and shouldn't have an opinion on it is just a way of dismissing their argument without actually addressing it. However thanks for stalking my post history it really show you care about me <3. However if you stalked harder you would see I shoot down bad ideas in the thf forum as well, the job I am most in love with. I guess you don't really care </3.
2) Sarcastic I'll give you, but rude, nope. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them rude. Exaggerate? You betcha, it's called hyperboles, you know when you exaggerate to make a point. You claiming that I claim that others say things that they didn't when I don't his painfully ironic. Also I like to think of myself as very helpful and often answer questions on the forum. You really need to step up your stalker game, at this point you aren't even in my top 10 stalkers.
3) I actually have been banned; twice! Really it is a sad fact how banning works on the forums. Basically when people don't agree with you, and can't make a decent counter argument they will resort to pettiness and just flag posts and report you over and over hoping to get you banned. Which ends up working because of how vague the forum guidelines are. Maybe that I haven't been banned recently is a sign that the culture of the official forums is maturing. I hope it lasts, but it seems unlikely as you just told me you wished I was banned, because I don't agree with you.
4) You sure fooled me.
5) I didn't say that you did say that diamond storm should do more than feint, (projection much?). I was pointing out the differences because comparing diamond storm to feint is like comparing apples to oranges. Sure they are both fruits, in this case both give some form of evasion down, but that is the extent of it and other than that are completely different.
6) I'm guessing this is about me calling your post a wall of text? You should take it as constructive criticism. It was clearly meant to be a persuasive argument, however it ended up as an unorganized ramble, which lowered its effectiveness and made it difficult to read. However I can see you took the criticism to heart as your follow up post is a number list, so kudos.
7) Stoneskin is a null point, those jobs that get stoneskin with just their sub job, smn is one of those jobs. To AoE Phalanx you have to be sch/rdm, rdm/sch, or just rdm with phalanx II merited. Or one of the tanks with /sch as a subjob, but seeing as they aren't full mage jobs it would probably not be worth it for them. It is a pretty rare ability to apply party wide, so I don't see why smn's version of it should be as powerful as the actual spell unless there is some goal of making smn better than every job at everything all the time. Also sch not using offensive strategems, what game have you been playing? It's all about sch using Immanence to self skillchain these days.
8) This is the first I'm hearing about warcry being affected by ilvl. Forgive me if I don't just take your word for it. Anyway if the war's are just doing warcry for the tp bonus then give them Crystal Blessing, I'm sure they will be happy about that considering it is a unique buff that does not conflict with other forms of tp bonus. Then give them Ifrit's warcry once theirs inevitable wears off. Valfore.Andrewviii said: Stop with the censorship.

I sorta feel scared any time I post on 11 since a mod directly replied to me about Sinister Reign. Don't even want to be on the radar. I got banned on Random Thoughts thread here after posting a George Carlin comedy take on politics after complaining about being banned on P&R for profanity. Which was my own ignorance of the rules but banned w/o warnings.
Waiting for the next thread to be permanently removed from now. I feel it's only a matter of time. LoL heh w/e

Idk, for them to pick up on your allusion to the person being HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, they've got a pretty good grasp on the English language.

I am betting it works the same way as the 14 forums which had so many bans people set out to figure out the system.
A few things go on:
1. The mods may go nazi and ban you at any moment (this is actually more rare)
2. Being reported for literally anything can get you banned.
I knew a well behaved fellow on 14 who lurked often. Guy hadn't posted in 2 months then logged in to a ban for a post that was 4 months old, he got a 10 day ban for saying "crap".
Just one example, but there's many of them. The way 14 works and I'll assume 11 is, if you make an enemy and they go report you for anything that could even remotely be cursing, flaming, etc. It gets sent to a que. The people receiving the que of complaints are the nazis and will hit the ban button for almost anything they can make a confirm on. I might even suspect that there's a "3rd party" group of people hired to handle this que instead of anyone under the /actual/ moderators of 14/11 forums.
Sometimes I wonder whats the % of people who are banned from 11 and 14 forums. FF14realms threads would lead me to believe 14 is at something like 10-15% of people who ever dared post at official 14.

Pretty much this. 9/10 times I close a thread mid-response because I tend to lean towards "no, you're stupid, and this is why in bulleted points." Haven't been banned yet, which is surprising given that about 60% of my posts are exactly that and the OF comes with some seriously salty folks, but I am waiting.
inb4 someone reports me just to get me banned for saying that! :U

Alhalalehm(sp) reports EVERYONE, so that is the main reason for bannings. The guy is pathetic.

I got permabanned last week for telling someone who called me an idiot that they were, in fact, the idiot.
The idiot in question wants Hocho nerfed because it gives NIN an unfair advantage in Cooking.

Pretty much this. 9/10 times I close a thread mid-response because I tend to lean towards "no, you're stupid, and this is why in bulleted points." Haven't been banned yet, which is surprising given that about 60% of my posts are exactly that and the OF comes with some seriously salty folks, but I am waiting.
inb4 someone reports me just to get me banned for saying that! :U Honestly I'm surprised you even commented on that one who thought it would be a good idea to give runefencer 100% WSD.
Also if you really want an example of how not to be banned on the official forum, I present the groveling sycophant.

Personally, I like the new forum gm, Bicycle or something, introducing herself and all the joy that was had.
She ain't gonna pay any more attention than any of the rest of 'em.

Can't you blame the community reps for not wanting to talk to the community though? I'm part of the community and I can't stand us. Seriously how long into the introduction thread did people start petitioning for their favorite job to be improved? Honestly I feel sorry for them, basically their job is to be the barons of bad news, and inform the unreasonable masses that their demands won't be met. Poor Grekumah.

All of these arguments won't matter in the least. It has already been decided in the Japanese forums. Whatever we say here does not matter. It's the DipperYuley argument all over again.
