LOS ANGELES — When he isn’t out in the field harassing and forcefully escorting Hispanic people into an unmarked van, ICE Officer Jackson Kent spends his free time playing Final Fantasy XIV where he harrasses players who have traveled to his Data Center, sources in his Free Company have confirmed.
“He never does any content with us. He just runs around the hub cities looking for people with the Voyager title and just harasses them non-stop,” claimed Kent’s FC leader George Starr. “He’s even done it with some of our own Free Company members when we’re playing with our friends from other Data Centers. He’ll just follow us, hop around in front of the Voyager, send threatening tells, stuff like that. We tell him to stop and just play the game but then he starts harassing us too.”
When asked about his in game behavior, Kent maintains that he’s doing it for the good of his Data Center.
“These people come into our Data Center, they don’t contribute anything good. They’re not bringing their best. They cause overpopulation, they steal spots in raids from the hard working players of this Data Center. So I dedicate myself and sacrifice my game time to get them out of here. I don’t raid, I don’t do dungeons, I don’t go to the Gold Saucer, I don’t even engage in the true endgame of fashion, well besides this sweet face covering I gave my character. I don’t do any of it because I’m the only one heroic and brave enough to get these DC travelers to go back where they came from. Only once they’re all gone will I start to actually play the content.
Players from Kent’s Data Center have rallied against him and around the Voyagers whom he harrasses.
“The Voyagers are an essential part of a healthy Data Center. Without them we’d have longer queue times for content and the hub cities would feel more barren. They help to make this place what it is. Natural born Data Center characters playing together with Travelers who come to help us get through Savage Raids even at off hours. This guy has no place in our community, he doesn’t even play any of the content, he contributes nothing useful. We’ve reported him to Square Enix multiple times but all they’ve done is tell us they’re on our side without actually doing anything to help.”
At press time, Square Enix leadership has stated they sent Kent a strongly worded letter encouraging him to change his behavior.
