Exactly how harsh are the chat rules?

[Kes13a]

How can i enjoy any existing social aspects of the game if angry players or someone with a bone to pick can misinterpret dialogue for the sake of punishing folks? I left a game where folks would bait others into voicing a "wrong opinion" and have guilds report them in unison specifically for power trips. I don't want to deal with that crap a second time around.

THAT is going to be a problem in ANY game you play with other people. any. game.

period.

you ALWAYS have the unknowing ability to offend SOMEONE somewhere, because... they arent you.

it really and completely is all about, if you arent a jerk typically nothing will happen. many people chat every day in say and yell and do not get banned. you are making a mountain out of a molehill I think.

but if you are not confident in your ability to be social without offending someone, then you may have a point. but, as I said, many people, myself included, manage to chat socially in game, not in tells or fc chats, and still not be banned.
