As the title says, I think it would be good to avoid people causing grievances with the waymarkers to make it visible in the chat who put them in place.
Why do I suggest this? Well, let me explain what happened yesterday:
I queued for the Alliance Raid Roulette with some friends and to no surprise, LotA popped. My friends and I were in the party A. There were quite a few new players to the fight, but things were going normal until we reached the Atomos.
Someone had a preset for the Waymarkers placing the markers in the reverse order: C on the left/upper path, B on the center, and A on the right/bottom path. I tried correcting the position of the markers, as my party (A) was already on the spot with the C marker, but the player that had the preset kept placing them wrongly, resulting in someone from party B pulling when there was no one in the right/bottom side, thus causing the first wipe.
We move forward and then we reach the Allagan Bomb and the Vassagos, and... the player that had the preset for the Atomos had another for the Vassagos, misplacing the markers too, and no matter how many times we tried removing them, he kept replacing them with the preset. Luckily, we ignored them and did the fight as normal.
But then we reach the last boss, Phlegethon, and the player with the presets had another one for that fight, misplacing the markers A and C again. Another wipe happened here because people from the party C came to the platform that's usually for A, thus not having enough people in their platform and making it impossible for the barrier to appear.
So the duty ended with two wipes, and my friends and I reported the situation through the in-game support, hoping that the GMs could investigate the issue and maybe warn the player for misbehaviour (I wouldn't have reported it if it was just one time, but he/she kept doing it for every fight, and I don't like getting wipes in easy content just because someone's idea of what's "fun" is to screw with 23 other players).
We couldn't know who was misplacing the markers because there is no way to see who placed the markers, so the report was sent with "Unidentified" in the "Character Name and World" part of the report template.
To my surprise, I was answered by the GM that they couldn't do anything if the report didn't include the name of the player, and it didn't matter how much I tried to explain to him/her that we couldn't know who it was, and so, the reports were closed without any investigation.
When my friends and I received that answer we were at a loss, thinking that someone that literally was disrupting the game for 23 other players was going to get away with it, without any kind of warning for misbehaviour.
