I can't believe what I've been reading here and on reddit, two sides for and against the Feast chat removal.

People who think SE is going in the right direction with this is delusional at best, sure you've been called some names and you didn't like it but that is the nature of online games. I've seen FAR worse stuff in PvE than in PvP and it happens more regularly in your daily Expert roulette than it does in your Feast matches.

I haven't played CoD before but if I went to go play some online matches and got called a tosser, I'd just go "oh CoD" and continue playing. Same with Overwatch, same with CS:GO, same with just about any other game with multiplayer experiences.

It's just a bandaid for the stuff SE doesn't want to do or has any idea how to do. Why wasn't there a blacklist/mute option for players you don't like? (before, I know there is cross-server bl this patch) Why did SE admit that their GM team is small so they had to do this? That's not our problem, it's yours and literally the first rule in customer service which SE fails time and time again to provide.

Don't get me wrong, PvP players LOVE this patch. Garo and Freelance has revived Frontlines and Feast where pops are instant but this chat removable is going to remove some of your most loyal players in the PvP community if it stays.
