The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[KusoWat]

Is it just me or does it seem like more players are queuing into the solo feast? If that is the case, is this a win situation for SE? will SE see this change as a positive change for the pvp community since it brought so many new pvpers into the content.

The lower ranks (unranked - gold) are active, but the high ranks (platinum - diamond) are not.

So you have a situation here: Is it good that the dedicated PvPers (those who PvPed actively BEFORE the change) are now inactive and not playing? In favor a new players coming in that are likely just doing it for the event, or giving it a try? Let's look at it this way...

Before GARO: PvP Community
After GARO: New Players
1 Month from now: Nobody

I think it's safe to predict that Feast Season 4 will be the most inactive season of The Feast if this restriction is not lifted.

It is just you that dew that conclusion, a Post hoc ergo propter hoc, one. There is only one reason for it being so active, and others already pointed that out.

are say the top 30 staying away even despite the event? so they are not getting mount in fear of it hurting their score?

Top 30 was active on Aether (top 5 even) until the very last minutes when the servers went down for the patch.

What patch?

What patch?

3.5 no-chat patch

I just want to make sure I am understanding, because if i am understanding correctly I do not get the reply. My point with the question is are top 30 or so, still playing in feast or even bothering farming for the event for the mount because of no chat in fear ill hurt their rank too much.

So that means it had a strong dying off?

And it NEEDS to be in order to really open SE's eyes to this terrible change.
