The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Kai_Lee]

I will admit I have lost a few matches in the last seconds and it was totally my fault because I lost track of the time or I thought we were down in points when we were up or we were down in points and needed to push. Those things do happen, happen to me happen to others on my team, but if you learn from it, it helps everyone in the end. I have also won a few matches where the other team makes the same mistakes. It happens, but to literally dramatized over it is just ridiculous.

It doesn't matter what happened, what matters is figuring out whose fault it is.

I think it's the purpose why the chat is shut, i don't see any other reason exept this one, get rid of the toxicity...
off course tell someone he mess is fine, when someone point something i mess. i keep this for the next games where i don't try to make this mistake again. Throw a game is a error to get rid of if you wish to get a better winrate anyway.
There is good reason and bad reason to be rude, when someone throw a game its better to tell him, otherwise when players make a drama in middle of a game where comeback is possible... no comment , like i said good and bad reason.
It why abusing behavior should be banned from the chat, not everyone.
But When SE is decided for something, we don't know when it get changed when the players is asking, If you wish the return of the chat. tell it with your feedback now and when the preseason will start. there is certainly better idea to get rid of free toxicity, like automated warning when someone got reported too much.

The chat is getting removed since it hurts the game mode, not just the "sensitive players".
Removing the chat is a great call, it should have been implemented much sooner.

You're just going to get called out in the first 60s when people can chat or after the match, it actually does nothing. The only way to stop the players who abuse chat is to globally mute them in all instances. People who think that this is going to change toxicity, other than make it impossible for well behaved players to communicate, haven't had any experience in games much more toxic than ffxiv pvp.

I understand the potential for abuse by players with bad attitudes, but how does it hurt the mode itself?

[Titor]

Strats change all the time, sometimes in a few seconds in PvP. It is going to be a pain to have to sift through various macros/menus and words to find out what to do. Even if you tried to bind commonly used ones, that's a lot more button space you now have to worry about and memorize.

Please just mute the players that get reported too much with evidence. There is no need to mute the entire team of a competitive, ranked pvp match....

Nobody has asked for this decision, it didn't even hurt the game mode at all because the "sensitive" or people that didn't even care what people said. Would
1. Hide chat
2. Ignore them
Just like what players have already been doing.

this destroys any chance of real communication from players that actually want to coordinate their matches. and Nothing is going to change because people will still make the same mistakes/ignore communication just like they have been doing without such macros.

To be fair the only people that I feel like are accepting this decision are the ones that fail to take constructive Criticism and try to improve themselves.

To be fair this is alot of generalizing if there was only "constructive criticism" in chat they would have never disabled chat in the first place. Yes there could be better ways to handle such a behaviour but I dont see the point with the "communication" part there is not much communication in soloq (atleast not that kind of communication that cant be done with macros) + whenever you type you dont play. The best players on the rankings dont even type at all in a feast match and still have the highest winrates. Individual skill, few macros here and there is enough for soloq tbh.

[Kai_Lee]

The best players on the feast dont rage, criticized others, spam negative comments during matches, in fact from my experience they dont talk much.
