The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[SuperZay]

Nice. I will not see 'please dont que' and 'you're a cancer' again.

If you can't behave like a civilized human being, you don't deserve a party chat.

The irony in someone arguing against this decision being the perfect example of why it should be implemented.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe you should working on your ability to understand context before switching to figure of speechs you dont recognize

No, the mature thing is to not rage in the first place, but rather take a step back, a deep breath and a break when you get angry. Which you should probably do right now because you are not being particularly mature.

Disabling chat is just the easy way out, that has nothing to do with maturity and all to do with cost/time efficiency.

You are saying that its better that SE disables all chat in pvp rather people who are even cant be bothered to report it ?

Are we gonna disable chat in duty finder now too? go in the duty finder thread, plenty of people are more raging then in pvp

i dont need to take a step back, its just plain wrong

In WoW, people just went to extremes to harass people. They would create alts and send tells to the person after a match. This isn't stopping harasdment, it is just crippling a community that already has it rough.

Which is exactly what we are going to begin seeing (Unless you're on gilga or Balmung where it's not possible.)

I honestly feel like SE fails to realize that human beings play their video game. What happens when you try to put a lid on something? Let's see...

It gets worse. It builds up, and you may see fewer cases, but an increase in more extreme cases. It's like teaching abstinence. Does abstinence stop your sex drive? No, it just builds it up and makes you get involved in some weird stuff.

cause you got the notion backwards

There is no "backwards" to coordination. It's a two way street. Multiple things working in cooperation with one another for the most effective result. All my stun maccro does is inform the dps of when that healer can be stunned. That doesn't mean that the stun is initiated at that precise moment, especially considering a lot of dps like to clip stun timers just for kicks.

Regardless, the bottom line is that I'm at least trying to communicate with the team. That's more than I can say for 99% of the dps who run in Feast. The truly sad part about this change is that there is a great majority of mindless players out there who won't even notice a difference. On the other hand, anyone who tries to use the chat constructively will now have to operate on blind faith that they're team is even somewhat competent.

Oh, it definitely is wrong. But you're still reacting immaturely and pulling strawman after strawman to make a point that hasn't even been questioned by the person you are addressing with them.

What would be "right" is to chat restrict the accounts of those who have been found guilty of abuse to prevent further damage and remove them from the ladder for the rest of the season as lesson for the future and deterrence. SE just doesn't do that because it would require hand checking every case.

You know comments like that is the reason why they're blocking the chat in the first place.

[PArcher]

Communication is essential in high-level play.


I don't really see much toxicity in these matches either. Its the low-ranking matches and the ones where Bronze and Golds (or better) are mixed I see this somewhat (and even then, I've seen tons worse in other games)


Maybe just restrict it where Unranked and Bronze are present, and leave the Gold/Platinum/Diamond matches alone. Unranked matches are such a mixed bag past a week or two into the season anyway, and people there now barely read chat (or watch marks) in the first place :\

there is new strawman, its, again, a simple fact that that kind of behaivor exist in pve too but its not punished like that way.


Also how does it add up that pvp is very niche in this game but they cant cope with the reports?
