(Except when in accordance with rules set by an administrator such as a Free Company Master)
Key Points
It is prohibited to make statements such as the following examples to try to kick someone from the party, content, community, etc. as if they are not qualified to participate. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.
“If you can’t do the mechanic well, maybe you shouldn’t bother joining the party.”
“If you’re going to talk like that, why don’t you just quit?”
“If you don’t understand that, you’d be wise to leave the party.”
“Let’s ignore them.”
“Let’s leave [person] out.”
“It’s not worth wasting our time, you should quit.”
“Don’t join if your equipment is that bad/such a low item level.”
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.
-
Using accusatory expressions or sarcastic remarks without offering any constructive advice. Statements such as “people like you will never get better” are prohibited. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.
-
Attacking someone for doing something different from what you or others may feel is the norm. For example, when running Alliance Raids, or playing PvP content, it is prohibited to make statements such as “why aren’t you doing [specific thing]? Everyone knows that’s how you do this!” If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.
-
There is nothing wrong with providing suggestions that the player community typically follows, but this can only be presented in the form of a “suggestion” and cannot be in the form of a demand. If said player’s actions are interfering with the gameplay of others, then a penalty can be issued once a report is filed and confirmed; however, even in this type of situation, if said player is also being attacked verbally, the penalty can be issued to both players.

For additional information refer to the “Expressions that unilaterally reject another person’s opinion,” and “Expressions that compel a playing style” sections below.
-
Mocking another person for making mistakes. Statements such as “how can you screw up on something so simple that no one else messes up?” are prohibited. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.
If these rules were in place in World of Warcraft a lot of people would have been banned.
Ever joined pugs for raids? Or M+? If you never had people leave the raid or M+ you must be the luckiest person alive.
Huh? I thought skill doesn’t matter? Why does it matter now? Because it’s a +20? This is exactly what I mean with the top 5-15% behavior in my previous comment.
No you’re all claiming skill doesn’t matter, until it does and then people that are lower than a certain norm are not accepted in this content.
So what exactly do these ratings tell people? That you should not accept anybody that has lower ratings than the content you’re doing. What happens next? These people that are not accepted will do the same to others “Oh I’m 1000 rated, I’m not going to accept this 200 rated player”.
Or are you saying that’s not the case?
Aside from that, perhaps this player returned to the game and is actually exceptionally skilled at his class, but you already decided not to accept him because you only look at ratings.
" versus some more complex bosses we have now.
