@jadescissors32 said in What is considered bannable?:
@xultanis-dragon I wrote this before and I will repeat this again. You are neither Rare or Microsoft, and have no authority to say whats "intended" or what is for.
I wrote this before and I will repeat it again. I know full well wants intended and what isn't because of the ToS and because of what Rare stipulated.
Arena is not for TDM'ing. Its not intended for TDM'ing. You want to set up a TDM thats fine. You can not get banned for attacking TDM'ers and the fact that you call it greifing is what surprises me the most lol.
I think you are legitimately trolling or at least you are now doing the fearmongering, trying to make sure that players can't interrupt your TDM because know you are afraid of players knowing that they can ban you for teaming.
Either or you have no idea what you are talking about.
We could be having a tea party at the fort and that's still none of your or anybody else business. If you sail across map just to attack ships sitting at the Fort that is called griefing and trolling and it is form harassment and yeah people will report you for that.
You can do whatever you want at the fort, its not greifing to attack you and its not griefing to keep attacking you.
Its not a form of harassment and actually now that I think about it, because they removed all communication there is no way for players to even harass you outside of using their pets.
So you can report all day every day won't do anything.
Considering how much content that serves as advertisement for the game is created in those TDM matches, I doubt it will stop.
Considering the content?? Really?? Hey let me ask you something, didn't a WHOLE bunch of TDM'ers get banned a while back?? Like a huge number of TDM'ers?? Gee, What must have happened to them that they got banned?? I mean they are creating content and advertisement but still got banned??
Maybe you don't know as much as you think you do??
In fact servers are becoming TDM dominant. For few days straight we did end up with server to ourselves.
No they are not. I play Arena with crewmates because Adventure just takes to long to find anyone and I don't have the time to chill out 4 hours for a session. Guess what, no TDM'ers and even if there are we sink them. I usually try to leave them alone but I figured might as well sink them too since they are taking up spots that could be used for a full lobby. Only issue is that there aren't that many TDM'ers anymore.
Makes me wonder what region you play in to get such conflicting information.
If you think I am the only person reporting than you are mistaking. In fact I am reporting because I was told others are doing and this was suggested on Discord. So I am following TDM best practice. I am just spreading the information.
Now I can imagine when XBOX gets a user reported by 6-12 people at the same time for harassment they will be inclined to look into it even just to see what is going on here.
You are probably not the only person reporting and probably not the only person who believes they are actually doing something.
You can report all you want, but it won't do you any good. I've been reported multiple times, still here. Pace, Summit, Box, etc etc etc, get reported DAILY and still around. Players who get reported by probably more than 6 or 12 players and its probably at this point that those reports are in the ignore pile or the "close immediately as false" pile.
You can follow TDM best practice all you want broski, I'm telling you right now that Arena is NOT FOR TDM.
I have no issues with you TDM'ing. I really don't. Get the friends, create the servers and have fun, knock yourself out. I do not care at all.
The only reason I'm having this argument is because you think that players attacking you is greifing or that them attacking you can get them banned. It can not.
I doubt you have ever gotten anyone banned for TDM'ing as I'm pretty sure xbox doesn't actually tell you the outcome of the actual report, they just tell you that they took the appropriate actions??
You do realize that 100% of the replies for reports is to placate players don't you?? They don't actually tell you that it was successful. They just tell you they are handling it because heaven forbid they tell anyone that they deemed their report as illegitimate because then they would get 100's of more reports and angry customers that think that just because they got their feelings hurt they deserve to be hugged and coddled.
Scratch that, some companies do tell the outcome but that is usually only within the first 6months or even at most a year after the games release. When they think its better to tell the player until they start realizing that everyone they tell no too just won't shut up and keeps pestering them.
And it must be working because Arena is small and I play with a lot of the same people, in fact I recognize a lot of ID's on this forum and we had played together, but the offenders seem to be all gone.
Arena is small, ever wonder if those players in general just started playing in a different region with different friends?? Maybe they started playing in adventure again because update?? How about the fact that you don't actual recognize any ID's you just think you do??
I would also like to confirm that I'm pretty sure that you play Arena with a group of players which means that you guys locked down the server with about 3 or more crews which again lowers the amount of players you'll run into.
Attacking you is not greifing
Attacking you is not Harassment.
Arena's intent is for a short session of Sea of Thieves, does not mean you can TDM with some kind of saftey net from Rare, you can be attacked.
One of the ONLY things outside of the normal stuff that you can get banned for is teaming.
Interrupt TDM and you will be in one of the spawn camping videos and get reported too. Sounds like win win to me.
If someone interrupts and they TDM'ers team to spawn camp, they are the ones getting banned.
Strange if you think that's not the issue why you are suddenly worry about getting reported.
No one here is worried about getting reported. The only one worried is you after realizing that players will finally know that TDM'ers can get banned for teaming and you are afraid of players attacking you and then reporting you for teaming.
Just don't team.
Again Attacking TDM'ers is not greifing, Attacking TDM'ers is not harassment.
Record your full matches, not gonna save you.
