They shouldn't do ranked at all if they can't police it properly.

Players in every game with pvp get high tensions and act out, those games have systems in place to deal with them. Those players get dealt with. Here? People hack, people win trade, they spam or act toxic and nothing happens.

All Square seems to care about is how many people are playing. It shouldn't be on the playerbase to be punished for those who act out, it should be the developer who deals with them the proper way.

I've been playing PvP and other such types of games in different genres for years. The toxicity will never end. All quick chat functions as is a band-aid.

If you want to believe that the toxicity of chat is the issue that's fine.

However if people aren't kept in line things wind up like that.

Fighting other players by nature winds up being toxic because no one has good sportsmanship anymore.

This isn't going to go away simply because of chat ban. People are going to find other ways to defame and spread hate.

Less of of a bandaid and more of a muzzle. SE claims that 'muzzle' is effective. People here are disputing it, but at the same time proving it true. (See the 'I got warned for spamming quickchat' complaint. )

People are tolerating the muzzle more than the howling dogs. Excessive uae of quickchat can be reported and responded to. I'd argue they refine and improve the current system than ditch it.

As far as addressing the cheating. I agree they should do more even knowing the logistics nightmare it is.

The thing is, I'd rather they just ban those who can't play without having to curse at someone every 5 seconds from ranked for the entirety of the season and add a report function where they can go in and investigate toxic behavior.

Problem is they I realize don't have the team for investigating ranked right now, but that begs the question as to why we have a solo ranked option if they can't handle policing a solo ranked option across multiple data centers.

The vicious circle of it all is, the longer they ban chat, the worse things will get, I can't tell that new scholar that physik spamming wont keep us alive. That causes more frustration than anything, which is part of why things are getting more toxic just by it being banned.

I played when the chat was up. League is far far worse when it comes to the amount of toxic players, yet that's also one of the most popular pvp games right now.

People should be getting taken off the board / kicked out the season, not getting put in a jail for a little bit.
