It dives into the murky areas around unsolicited advice and forceful suggestions, while still outlining that the player you talk to is a person in front of a screen just like you, so you should respect them as you want to be respected. The idea behind those examples is that there is a right and wrong way to offer an advice or suggestion, and that giving advice does not mean the player is forced to take it or that it gives you the right to belittle them if they don't follow your advice. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued. When your suggestion/request is rejected, you cannot then criticize or blame others, pressure others or otherwise refuse to respect their opinion, or persistently repeat the same suggestion/request or otherwise attempt to impose your playstyle on others. Additionally, making suggestions or requests does not necessarily mean that they must be accepted. Making suggestions/requests without a clear understanding of the reason often leads the other person to misunderstand your intention. *When offering suggestions or making requests, it's important to include your reasoning. (In response to an opinion) 'I understand your opinion, but I think I can do better with, what do you think?'.(In response to an opinion) 'Your idea is ridiculous, what are you talking about!?.'.'I think will go more smoothly if we do, so I want to try doing it this way, is that okay with everyone?'.You can't do it any other way, so stop doing that!'

Respecting the opinions of others and expressing your own opinions in the form of a 'suggestion' does not constitute a violation.įor example, it is not a violation to suggest one's own opinion/policy or to present a counterproposal to an opinion, as shown in the following 'Example of a non-violation.' However, in the 'Example of a violation,' you are trying to impose your play style on others by unilaterally excluding their opinions without respecting theirs, which is considered a violation. Here are some snippets of the rules outlined in this link: This tweet, now 30k retweets high, is the most popular, showing how well the rules have gone over even for people who are not familiar about FFXIV. To the point you even have people calling it to be taught for real life conduct as well.

But interestingly enough, it seems the changes have gone very well in Japan, as one extremely popular tweet have made the rounds with numerous people calling it an incredible lesson in moral conduct that should be read even by people who do not play the game. Obviously, a vocal segment of the community in the west started arguing about the lack of free speech, how no one is allowed to talk anymore, snowflakes, SJW, 1984, etc. On top of other changes, FF14 has delineated examples on good behavior and how to prevent bad conduct to happen in order for players to better understand what is good and bad conduct.
