The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[KusoWat]

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

[Ama_Hamada]

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.

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

So that means it had a strong dying off?

If you need to boycott a game-mode in the first place then we clearly see how bad the PvP community has become with it's toxicity.

I think you missed the point entirely there.

No one's calling to boycott the Feast because of toxicity at all. We're making that call because 3 months ago when they said they would do this (not suggested, SAID, as if the decision was finalized already), we spoke up and said it was a bad idea, said it would cause the problems it's caused, and nearly unanimously said we did not want the change. . . And we were ignored completely. We only JUST got a response days ago, 3 months and 40 pages later. And it was a completely-oblivious-to-the-thread-it's-in, "If anyone has any suggestions for improvement. . ."

Let me reiterate: 3 months and 40 pages of this topic later, they've asked for suggestions. SUGGESTIONS. As if what we've been trying to, and continue to discuss now hasn't involved that one bit.

CLEARLY, something somewhere is not being communicated clearly (and I can say that one's not on us at this point), so some feel the next best recourse is to boycott the content to make a clear showing of our disapproval. Please do not twist or cheapen our attempts to be heard by spinning it to support the idea of the PvP community as a whole being toxic. While we're not perfect at all, many of us have been quite civil and calm in trying to speak up on this matter.

this was my reply to it since the person was quoting me:

Regardless of whether such a boycott is justified or not, lumping the PvP community together based on the actions of a few just goes to show again how biased and ignorant you and others such as yourself are.
But I guess anyone has to put in their two cents these days; who cares if you don't know what you're talking about, right?

Or the fact people go great lengths to bend the facts to support their narrative. The statement hardly makes sense unless this person is insinuating I am toxic and these actions to reflect that so the ban was justified?? I am sure it is a post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy but I hardly understand what is being said to begin with, the sentence structure itself fits the criteria though.

I was quite offended by the post and now I am wondering why they have not bothered to post again.

Top players on Aether zerged 8v8, light party, and frontlines premades for GARO. Nobody touches solo q anymore.

Actually the new chat is perfectly fine. I never got anything more interesting in it before 3.5, (minus raging, trash-talking and exchanges of insults, which upon reporting, the GMs would ignore right away).

If you can't follow target/ignore/bind marks and waypoints, maybe you should take up something less demanding.. I hear fishing is quite interesting at lv60.

There's FAR more to the Feast than that, unless perhaps you're referring to Frontlines, which is played quite differently, and the chat restriction doesn't apply to besides.

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.

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