There's no way to do it to the target of your focus target without switching however, I do have a macro that does it but it'll cause you to temporarily switch targets. The macro in question being:code:

Has anyone else had a /tell from a gilseller and been unable to blacklist them? I even tried "/blist add <r>" and it tried to blacklist the person who sent me a tell before the gilseller.

You can just right click their name and add to blacklist, can't you? Or am I thinking of some other game.

I think if someone sends you a friend request you first have to deny the request before it'll let you blacklist them, see if that's the issue.

Today on FFXIV Forum Safari: The thought of an easy/"story" version of the coils (so non-raiders and those who cant dedicate time to a static can experience the storyline) makes people REALLY ANGRY. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/197916-Coil-Story-mode-in-development./ I think this is my favorite post in the thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/197916-Coil-Story-mode-in-development.?p=2507273#post2507273 Survey to our raiding crowd here: How many of you do Coil JUST for the storyline, and not the loot? In short, people are getting mad for other players asking for an easier version of coil that would most likely have no loot, and just advance the storyline instead.

Yeah, if I remember rightly, Rift did something similar - one- or two-man mini-versions of the big story-centric raids called "Chronicles", and lots of raiders got pissed about it if I remember right. I thought the idea was neat and liked them.  A similar idea in FF14 would be neat imo.

This is one of those things that I don't think is totally necessary, but doesn't really bug me. I can't speak for other groups but the raiders in my FC have carried a bunch of more casual members through T5 and will probably do the same with T9 in a couple months. I guess if you don't have many friends in game it would be nice though. As to why I raid, it's primarily for the experience and the challenge of trying to beat hard content. The loot is nice too. ActionZero posted:Yes, but the option didn't appear on the menu. You can't blacklist people who are offline, so it's possible they logged or got kicked immediately after sending you that tell.

If you're a casual scrub just go watch it on youtube. Also Yoshi-p has said the coil story won't tie into the continuing main story so don't worry about it.

I love getting loot from Coil, and the fights are fun when you finally learn how to do them, but I think this would be great for people who have trouble forming statics, or those who just want to do the story. People who complain about this kinda thing should be paid no attention, they're probably the same ones that want 1.0 back

How do these people feel about the ability to look up the cutscenes and poo poo on YouTube? That's even less effort than a simplified raid.

Apparently Belzac is the idiot who gets mad. How shocking. I don't care because it doesn't really affect me. I raid because it's fun to do the encounters, and having an easier version available doesn't take away from that at all.

I'm not mad at the idea that casuals get to watch cutscenes from uber elite raids, I'd be mad that the devs took time to make easier versions of the fights which would take away from content I actually care about. And there are already easy versions of the raids, it's called wait for echo.

You know how long it takes to copy paste the instance, remove trash, lower some HP and Strength values and increase the delay on timers? Like 30 seconds. Its not like MONTHS long worth of dev time is going to be spent building an entirely new instance from scratch. This literally hurts no one and probably even makes the game better from a larger perspective.

I'm not against story mode content, not at all. What I would prefer to happen tho is that they dedicate the same amount of time per person working on Story Mode content as the people who are not able to beat the actual content are able to dedicate in one sitting when they play FFXIV. So you have eight people working on it that will spend 1 hour a week working on it. First Coil story mode done sometime 2016?

I don't like raids so it's cool that someone who doesn't like doing raids can still see all the content the game has to offer (or at least, most of it).

Posting one's thoughts and feelings about possibilities and what-ifs is a pretty common thing for the Internet. It's a neat idea if it comes about, but it's simply something that's up in the air. I'm still curious about Yoshi's really vague answer in regards to a Bard's Ballad of the Garlean Generals. I would love to see that kind of a Trial surfacing more than i care to wonder about people being able to see cutscenes I saw with my static.

As someone who has watched features get cut for stuff like this, yes I can safely say there is a limited number of resources to create content, baby coil dungeons would take longer that you think to implement and test, and that if they spent time on making them it would take away from another feature, content, or even possibly cause delays to other things that are already completed since the patch has to come out all at the same time. This is on top of there already being easy coil, right now. Just queue for Coil 1-5 and enjoy your 20% echo. With a little bit of effort your too can see a dragon head in the flesh.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone say, "Adding more hardcore content will take resources away from the other content that I feel is more important, such as more Hildibrand!" or whatever. Belzac and Ilifinicus' attitude is a very specific case of "gently caress you, got mine" and it's really weird.

I will direct you to the Wildstar thread where the Carbine team's focus on leveling content and HARDCORE ELITE RAIDS did have a negative impact on the end game casual fun stuff and caused their game to die. In fact I would rather than a newbie coil raid for there to be other fun casual stuff, instead of recycled content I did a year ago.

Posting this here since it's gaining traction: If you're newly raid ready, there's a new static on Excalibur that's aiming to start raid content from scratch and catch up quickly to progression content once 2.4 hits. All of us have raid experience, mostly from WoW. 2 hours/night for 2 nights/week, recruiting now: http://forums.ffgoons.com/showthread.php?tid=27430

ili and Balzac are both huge nerds but I agree that having "story coil" would be sort of dumb because any attempt at creating it would either take more time than it warrants or look like a halfassed mess. And between echo and gear we're at a point where 6 or 7 dudes can just straight up carry a dead body through T5. T9 will be the same soon enough and then, even if you absolutely cannot manage to get through final coil while it's relevant, the expansion will trivialize it and then you can go experience it firsthand if you must.
