Was Xenos banned or just suspended?

Can someone remind me why these queers hate Xenosys?

He committed the cardinal sin of not liking Wuk Lamat and speaking ill of Sena. The community has largely circled the wagons and been overly protective of Sena/Wuk so a high profile streamer expressing his opinion that Sena was...not good is tantamount to eating babies on stream.

It's not by any means a normal game. The game director was on a live stream tearing up about targeted harassment of employees last year (and pretty much every year) and it's their pretty clearly stated #1 "do not do this" and somehow he missed the memo and while streaming FFXIV decided to do everything on the list then repacked it into a Youtube video and is shocked he ate a ban for it.

That was borne out of some crazy JP people who were showing up at the SE offices over crap with FF7R. I can't really fault Yoshida for taking that sort of shit seriously.
 
Xeens is probably the only ff14 that i occasionally watch but for his rants and when i was following the case involving him and some retarded nigger that harassed him and his lawyer.

I can understand it if Yoshida doesn't like it when this happens, but I also don't think acting on that preference is justified either. People tend to forget that you can easily avoid your employees getting 'harassed' like that, simply by not hiring people who call for the killing of large amounts of customers, on their official irl name handles which are associated with the company.
And if someone like that slips through the cracks and does it anyway, just fire them asap when it happens and condemn their words and actions.

He (and the entire parent company) aren't Americans. They don't get banter and are overly formal and have hammered this point over and over again for a literal decade. It's not like Xeno tripped over some insanely obscure rule that he could not have possibly forseen - the FFXIV TOS (https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=68216) is 80% "do not harass other players" in any space where communication is possible.

Additionally - the people he really took issue with (Sena and Kate) are NLWC already - Japan just doesn't revel in firing any employees, so they finish out what they've got and leave quietly. FFXIV already introduced Kate's replacement and Sena's speaking roles dropped off drastically past 7.3 into the "we might hear from this person once every 2 expansions". There's also a pretty wide gap between "I don't think Kate is doing a good job" and "Kate is a fucking retarded bitch" in terms of messages being communicated.

I'm shocked it took as long as it did.

Please note that Square Enix may issue a penalty in its discretion even if a report has not been filed but the act was found being conducted in public areas such as Say and Shout, search comments, Party Finder, or online video/streaming services.

I'm not saying it's amazing - but if I was a professional FFXIV streamer, I'd probably glance over the rules every so often.
 
"Fucking retarded bitch" doesn't meet US standards for harassment and, I would suspect, doesn't exactly arrive at them for JP legal standards either. As is the case with anything TOS-agreement-related anywhere, it comes down to the individual decisions of whatever contractor gets stuck actually looking at your report. While it is arbitrary and effectively gives GMs the almighty power of being a paid Reddit jannie, there's not really any means of recourse to it except to move somewhere else.

This is basically zero problem for about 99.999999% of the world's population, but it does mean for that 0.000001% who has made themselves reliant on access to this game in order to be able to pay their bills, they'd better get used to the floppy mouthfeel.

While I do think it's retarded to punish streamers who play a game in said game for their conduct outside of it or for expressing an opinion, rules are rules. Xeems is right in calling Kate and Sena retarded bitches, because they are and it looks bad defending people who have used your company name to openly express the culling of people they politically disagree with or starting online slapfights with your customers and calling them racist for not liking a fucking song. But if they have a rule where you can't say mean things about people who've tried to run their IP into the ground, you have to follow it to some degree. I don't like it, it's fucking gross, but it is what it is.

For the most part he is at least is taking the ban on the chin and isn't being a wierdo about it. Far as I can tell.
 
They should just axe healers entirely the role is fucking useless and we all know they won't ever make healers heal.

Just have two tanks for aggroing the boss and dps, fuck it. It'd solve the tank problem if half the healers swapped to off tank and nobody enjoys healing anyways.

And his FFXIV character name is Yhex'a Litnesi

No, that's some random person. Someone else commented on that a page or two back.
He has personal beef with Yhex'a Litnesi, claiming they steal mods and put them behind a kofi paywall.

This is his new bluesky account, where he claims to be Erke Armaron on Faerie (a), who is identical to the character in his video and images.

He also has a post on bluesky that more or less confirms it is him, since it contains a message from the character.

There's been a lot of those termites crawling out of the woodworks in Xenos' replies. They make a great case for the fact you should never hold yourself to the standards of people who hate you, because they don't hold themselves to their own standards either.
 
So from what ive gathered they are just semi-abandoning Dawntrails dogshit story by giving us titbits of the new expac already?

How much is there of the dawntrail story is in the new MSQ content with that one new ascian?

Shits a bit soon for my liking.
