From this, we can tell how much harsh language was becoming an impediment to new players and hurting their participation. I believe that this change is something that is inevitable not only for FFXIV, but for all PvP games. On the other hand, it might be good to bring back full chat functions for custom matches and random 4 vs 4 practice matches, outside of ranked matches, as it would allow for players to discuss and develop deeper strategies. It is possible to separate chat functions between ranked matches and practice matches, so it would be great if we can continually receive feedback on this!
My feedback is to bring normal chat back. This connection is so.. THIS:

GERO! came out the same time as quick chat if I remember correctly, plus SB release and the new PvP changes OFC THERE IS GOING TO BE INCREASED participation!!! A new expansion increases activity in everything, you even see it in MB sales. I am sure WT helped a bit as well. Even though I hate the no chat, ill do a WT feast match because it is quick and rather do that then a 24 man no one queues for, or whatever.
So this
Yep, it did nothing to change the toxicity, I would argue it is worse now because you can't tell people what can be done to change a loss to a win.
