The team is noticing a large degree of inactivity during matches
Final Fantasy XIVis not known for its PVP content per se, but it is there. On top of the Wolves’ Den arena dueling system, there’s also a few more concepts, like Frontline (a 24-person-team capture-the-objective-based gametype), Rival Wings (a MOBA-like), and now, Crystalline Conflict (a tug of war similar toOverwatch). About that last mode!Final Fantasy XIVPVP bans might be coming for some of the playerbase.

Here are the general things that will get youFinal Fantasy XIVPVP bans:
Yoshida further details both of those key issues, including tackling the infamous discussion of using “nice job!” emotes/phrases as trolling. The producer confirms that if the team reviews a report and finds a user at fault, “Final Fantasy XIVmay place a temporary suspension (of 3 to 20 days) on the reported player’s account. If repeated violations are confirmed, or the violations are deemed to be exceptionally heinous, the account may be permanently banned.”
Can I just say, I love the phrase “lethargic behavior?” I’m definitely going to use that one in the future.
