    Good job!

    I have some suggestions: 1. Change the "Good job!" quickchat, or 2. Remove it. To congratulate the help of others we already have "Thank you".

    Why I ask this? Many people are using "Good job!" to mock non-so expert players when losing than its original purpose to congratulate.

    Yes, I'm one of those non-so expert players who are tired of being mocked, so I will be bullied in this thread anyway.

    The actual message will not matter as long as someone keeps spamming it

    "Congratulations" and "Thank you" aren't the same thing, though. One is congratulating someone on a job well done, of course, and the other is a show of gratitude for that person's help. I can understand it might be a little confusing if English isn't your first language, but they do mean slightly different things.

    That said, the abbreviation 'gj' means the same thing as "Good Job!", takes about the same amount of effort to type into chat, and would be used as its replacement if it were removed. The players who use it mockingly would still mock. You can take away their means of mocking others all you want but as long as the intent remains, they'll find a way to belittle others. Gutting the English autotranslate won't help that situation, it'll just make it harder for English-speaking players to communicate with others who can't understand the language.

    The only thing you can do is brush it off and not let their words effect you. Most of the players that I've seen respond that way to a mistake don't really seem to be mocking anyway; they're likely just minorly annoyed or in a bad mood or something and won't carry it beyond the one snide comment. Unless you're running into players who are continually harassing you throughout the run (in which case you should be reporting them for harassment) then it's no big deal anyway.

    I think they should just give us back normal chat but impose harsh punishment on those that harass other players. Like for example being banned from the entire season and any rewards. Also give a quick report option similar to the RMT report button.

    The best way to get people to stop doing this is allow us to actually articulate to someone that they need assistance.
    They can't just do what they've been doing and failing at. Some simple advice to a poor performer can make a world of difference. I'd rather see people improve, but I have no way to tell them how right now.

    Yeah some people get nasty, but that's what harassment reports are for, right?

    People need to just stop taking everything so personal and getting offended over salty trolls.

    It's pvp...

    It's funny because I was putting together an album of salty, angry people in the Feast for season 3. In about 150-odd games, I only had two screenshots of my own to show for this salt (and one of them wasn't even salt directed at our team, but at someone on the opposing team).

    After chat ban, I feel like every other game I get a slew of sarcastic "Nice Job!" everytime someone dies or something else. It's frustrating especially if it is something out of someone's control because they can't even defend themself and the Nice Jobber is left with the idea that the person must be incompetent and it wasn't because of the fact that they got stunlocked that they couldn't escape/heal.

    This results with three people spamming "Fall Back" while the loner Dragoon just continues on and gets their ass handed to them, losing the game.

    This scenario has happened to me in one way or another so often. Blocking all communication is probably the worst thing you could do in a high impact team based game mode. Not only does it hinder you, it hinders the other three people wanting to communicate or strategise.
