I'm... not entirely certain what to think of this thread, seeing how drastically unnecessary a great deal of it seems to be. Regardless of what someone's take is on a situation, only those effected by a circumstance knows just how much their mind can take. That being said, every single one of us should be just as well aware, what the likelihood is of running into a potentially offensive situation (wherever it originates from), this especially including Competitive Modes. Now there is no reason to ever defend the mode however, as offensive commentary is still offensive, and should be reported as such. But the situation is already out of hand, when someone decides to go beyond reporting the player's offensive commentary, and make a show of the situation, augmenting the will to argue in a number of people that happen to catch wind of the thread.

If you take offense to someone's verbal harassment, report it. That's all that has to be done.

Just looks like super impersonal trash talking to me. The OP was addressed as "Dark Knight", not anything personal or outside of the context of the in-game world. So in essence, the OP is choosing to play a PvP match where the objective is to incapacitate (or more commonly referred to as kill) one's opponents. An opponent who they incapacitated (killed) told their character to kill itself, and the OP took this as a personal attack with real life implications.

What am I even reading? There is a very clear point where it is not the responsibility of others to cater to someone's inability to tell fantasy from reality, and this thread reads like some bizarre attempt to blur that line.

You cannot communicate with opposing teams during PvP in any way - no chat, no emotes, nothing.

The only question now is whether OP will abandon ship, stay the course, or acknowledge that his grievance is completely baseless.

Yes this... Checked myself to confirm and sure enough it says this on the Feast Content Guide pages:

I appreciate what the OP wrote, but they must have been mistaken since they can't see chat from the other team (although this thread still spawned multiple pages of chat based on that misunderstanding...)

I hear you can if you use certain 3rd party *coughGWcough* tools.

You can pvp without behaving like an absolute twat. It's just that kids these days didn't have manners smacked into them at a young age. So they're now selfish, rude, entitled adults.

Generation of the oversensitive...

Calling on people to not be a$$bags is not "oversensitive". Sounds like you're part of the Generation of Sociopaths.

I don't even play pvp anymore bc people are just so damn mean if your team loses. I did shatter twice since it released & people are always getting up in arms. Seal Rock....don't even get me started. I gave up bc I was tired of ppl blaming me for not healing them when THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON TAKING DAMAGE. Or ofc when THEY'RE WAY TOO FAR OUT OF MY RANGE, sometimes I actually sprint to them as fast as I can but they're just too far.

But somehow it's always my fault ./shrug

This isn't a PSA :|

Both sides in this conflict wants the other to change. Both sides refuse to change.
If you are not willing to change yourself, what right do you have to ask others to change? There is such a thing as compromise.
If someone says something that upsets you, try to take a step back and ask yourself if it's worth thinking about it! If you are about to say something to someone, try to be considerate!
