The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

In general, I don't think people being too scared to say their mind, or just preferring to keep what's said behind another's back or third party, is necessarily a hallmark of a "great community". Nor is potential abuse of the report feature, in the hopes of getting others they may not like banned, but I digress.

And I've repeatedly said that's not necessary. That's why I would like it if people would stop telling other people to just be silent in group contents. Say what you need to say, but be civil about it. That's not asking too much.

Potential abuse exists everywhere, so that's irrelevant.

Did I say competition with one's self was PvP, and excused insulting other people?

If it's not PvP, then it has no bearing on other people, so trash talking or insults or anything like that has even less of an excuse to exist.
