I wanted to create this thread in the PVP forum originally, but it seems like the GM and community team frequent this one more than the PVP forum (and I wouldn't blame you one bit for not setting foot in there unless you'd like to lose that foot!), and this is more-so feedback about the experience rather than a question about the mode itself, so hopefully it can stay here.

I have always been the type of person who is big on self-improvement. In video games and in real life. I'm very much into seeing my character grow, become stronger, perform better. So something like Feast is, at least on paper, right up my alley. I also like a challenge. I have always aimed for top 100, but haven't made it yet. There are things probably holding me back -- vision issues, time constraints, and the like -- but those don't stop me from trying my absolute best in every match. That's really all I can hope for. Doing better than I did the previous season is my personal "Top 100".

Here's the issue - and let me preface this by saying that I'm not lumping ALL Feast players into this category. Many are great players as well as admirable people. But here's where things go south.

It seems as if Feast has turned into more of a clique than something designed to welcome and encourage all players to compete.

If for some reason you can't perform to your best in a given match (maybe the healer is new, maybe you goofed up and you know it but you have no way to tell your team), or maybe you were in the wrong place at the wrong time -- it happens -- you get absolutely drug through the proverbial mud.

People sending you friend requests from other servers just to rage at you. People creating alts on every server just to hop off, hop on and send you a flaming /tell and then vanish before you can respond. Discords blowing up with nasty insults.
