The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[P4X0R10N]

This WILL eliminate chat abuse. I'm not a healer, but I'm happy those that are won't have to put up with the trash talk.

Although, I would have preferred a streamlined, easy-to-use system of reporting and SEVERELY punishing player verbal abuse.

Those that can't keep their cool and hold their tongue should be tossed out of pvp permanently.

This should have been the punishment, not a punishment on everyone that plays the game mode.

While I'm at it, I've seen people vote kicked from frontlines by a bunch of @#%*s for not obeying the commands of a few pvp fanatics who think they own the game.

That garbage needs to be purged from this game as well.

Westerners ain't got no manners, and this is their comeuppance. I'm happy for the change.

PvP requires teamwork and co-operation. if you are not willing to co-operate and listen to a person that offering to command and help the team to victory. then you don't belong in frontlines. you are just going to cause

1. 2nd/3rd place loss
2. you getting carried to a win

Nobody asked for this change. and the fact that there are some people here that are happy that such a action is being taken when they have possibly NEVER dealt with such attitudes ever because they possibly never even gone past Bronze or Silver ranking. makes me really wonder who are the real players that care about PvP and who are the ones that just do it to farm their PvE content.

P.S you can just hide the chat window if you wish not to read it. nobody is forcing you to read it.
P.S.S your post kinda sounds just as bad as the average "toxic" player

No it won't. People will just find other ways to vent their frustrations, ranging from spamming the new super-useful "Nice job!" macro after you make a mistakes, all the way to creating a character on your server just to flame you.

Edit: Censorship has never, and will never, fix anything. This is no exception.

Oh, certainly not. But "fixing" it isn't in the interest of the PvP community, since it would mean removing the mode that causes these troubles in the first place. If you prefer that, feel free to make a petition, but I doubt you'll garner much support.

The alternative? Magically give every rager the mental strength to keep their frustration away from other people. Not realistic either.

Bans are just another form of censorship and thus, no solution according to yourself.

If you got a real solution to the issue that manages to serve the interests of all involved - SE is searching. I personally would just have posted an assortment of anonymous chatlogs from reports, a nice statistic on the report situation, then removed the respective mode and put a single:"This is why you can't have nice things." under the entry. But I'm the nightmare of any PR department.

snip.

So your preferred solution is to just eliminate pvp altogether because surely, all the toxicity is here.

Please. If there was any required PvE content that was remotely difficult, the same thing would happen there as well. Like many have said previously, if you're a little thin-skinned you can just hide your chat log when you enter the feast. This just hurt the entire community for no good reason, how is it so hard to understand? I'm not even mentioning the limitations of the new macro system, and how it can be abused as well. When you screw up in PvP just expect to get spammed with "Nice Job!" instead.

Does happen there as well.

No matter how bad the toxicity can be in PvP, I've seen it far worse in Savage Raids, especially when they are new. The smallest mistakes can cause a wipe and can generate blood boiling levels of rage. Unless you know and have a good relationship with the people you raid with, than there is a very high risk that they will explode at the drop of a pin. It's all fine and dandy to point fingers at those big and mean PvP people, but it's not like this doesn't happen anywhere else in the game. The only difference is that 99% of the players have not, and will likely never, go into a savage level raid, especially using PF or RF, so they're unlikely to even know about it. I guess the moral of the story is supposed to be that it's totally fine so long as no one knows about it?
