He wanted feedback on chat and I say keep chat restriction when you play with randoms, be it 4v4 or 8v8, and have the chat open when you play custom matches. The negatives outweighs the positives regarding chat with randoms. Good call from SE if the PvP player base has grown and kept playing since 3.5 when GARO rewards and chat restriction were added.

With tournaments, I hope they have official PvP tournaments running every other week like Triple Triad once they get implemented.

I'm hoping that the PvP community organizes their own tournaments through cross-server custom matches once patch 4.1 goes live.

I rather take "Nice job" and/or "Good Match" spam than the alternative.

Maybe because PvE consists of more than 2 instances?

I didn't even tried season 3.
With the removal of the chat, I came back and did season 4 entirely and finished top 100.

I know, sometimes real talk could help the team, but I have no faith in EU PVP community to hold his tongue and be capable to not injure/discourage/diminish other players.

The old chat don't need to come back, or if it come, add a report system too (like in Paragon).
Pretty much the same for me though not in the top 100.
