Global Chat

[Rhianu]

Or perhaps I can voice my opinion against this on this thread where the CM will see it. Just a thought. I also like how you think when I mention racism/sexism/homophobia it'd be exclusively people in jest. I think you have a naive view of the internet and an overly optimistic view about how the global channel would turn out. Not to mention the fact that NO POSSIBLE FEATURE IMAGINABLE could empower RMT more.

As has already been pointed out, RMT will not be hindered by lack of a public chat channel. They certainly weren't hindered by the absence of such a channel in FFXI, so I don't see why you think it would hinder them in FFXIV.

As for people making offensive comments, I'm aware that it wouldn't always be in jest, but that's what the /blacklist feature is for. If you really don't like the things that another person is saying, and you find them offensive, then just add that person to your blacklist. Problem solved.

Though you seem to think that we would never see anything BUT offensive, hateful comments, which is simply untrue. Sure, we'd see the occasional troll, but you're exaggerating both the severity and the frequency of the problem.
