The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I want to point out that IT'S NEARLY BEEN A YEAR OF ALMOST-ENTIRELY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IN THIS TOPIC.

Yoshi P himself said he would address it and still hasn't.

If no one's within SE is going to listen, who will? Cause I'm about ready to go pay them instead.

We're unlikely to get a response, I fear. Which only serves to make the situation even more frustrating. I can't express enough just how irritating it is to lose a match due to being thrown into a group with players who have absolutely no clue what they are even doing and have no desire to do any research for themselves. It's even worse when someone ends up with ten stacks and causes a loss only to then show up in the next match as well. I've kept track of problematic players due to having a pretty good memory, so I recognise names. Weeks have passed and the same individuals show up making the same mistakes - because nobody can tell them not to play a certain way.

There's absolutely no reason not to allow players to communicate in an efficient manner in a PvP environment. Pretending as if toxic players are only a problem in PvP is dishonest, too - because I think most of the trash talking I've encountered in this game has been in a PvE environment. I'm really, really hoping that 4.1 is going to be amazing for PvP and make some major changes that will help keep PvP fans happy and content; including the removal of the awful chat restriction. I also wish the development team would just be honest and state outright whether or not they actually intend to keep it in place for the future. The lack of clear communication doesn't help in the slightest...and PvP is already given very little focus when there's Q&A sessions or Live Letters.

daily reminder that banning chat in 4v4 and enabling cross world /tell will result in the ban of lots of people for justified flames.

"justified"

This is why you got quick chat people.

...and yet they won't dare remove the chat function from the PvE side of the game even though there is a lot of toxicity to be found there as well. The removal of the chat function for PvP is a very bizarre decision and one rooted, I suspect, in a desire to not have to go through reports of players taking things too far. I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt up until recently but a recent interview claimed that bot/win trading reports were 'overblown' so it really just feels like the issues with PvP are being swept under the rug and given some halfhearted quick fixes.

So it's fair then to judge PvPers by this guy's poor attitude? Please tell me how that's even remotely right or fair?

Would it be fair of me to say all people from your server act like you do, or might you see that flaw in your logic there?

daily reminder that you can send cross world /tell only to people in your friend list and PF recruiters.

Friendly reminder that this thread was made nearly a year ago, and went 3 months and 40 pages before they asked for suggestions and feedback - exactly what was on the previous 39 pages.

And a further reminder that they believe restricting chat (and not the event that began at the time, among other major, positive changes to PvP) increased participation.
