Global Chat

Then perhaps you'd be better suited to single-player, offline games.

Just a thought.

Or perhaps I can voice my opinion against this on this thread where the CM will see it. Just a thought. I also like how you think when I mention racism/sexism/homophobia it'd be exclusively people in jest. I think you have a naive view of the internet and an overly optimistic view about how the global channel would turn out. Not to mention the fact that NO POSSIBLE FEATURE IMAGINABLE could empower RMT more.

Well, by that token, I guess we should just disable /say and /tell and /shout because they could solicit RMT that way. We should never consider a player search, because they could solicit RMT that way. We should never implement a messaging system because they could solicit RMT that way.

/sarcasm off

Removing avenues of communication will not deter RMT. Were you a beta tester? Do you remember them standing at the aetherytes spam shouting? I do. And they didn't need a global chat to do it.

The solution to blocking RMT isn't removing avenues of communication. It's done through SE giving us the tools to easily report spammers and block them.

This game doesn't need to shut out communication. It needs to encourage it.
