    It's not.

    Only really blatant offenses like cussing people out like the TC or actively griefing them and making it hard for them to play are likely to get you strikes.

    Unfortunately, that also means that more subtle infractions such as the various forms of cheating people engage in using third party software are unlikely to ever actually be punished, and even if they are, the strike system will ensure that they don't get properly punished even in the event they actually start doing something about the numerous players who've been at it for years.

    The OP must be really going overboard. I don't even encounter 'toxic' people that often. How are they finding so many people to counter-harass? lol

    So, you want change because you're one strike away from banning and can't help your behaviour that's causing issues? What happens if they change that, and as you said, you can't help yourself? You're again one strike away and come back for changes, because it's you on the line again? Also no one has compared you to anything, no need for woe is me.

    There is no special allowance to explode at people in chat. All go by the same rules. While I do meet annoying people in-game, having to fend "toxic" people constantly isn't a thing. If it's something you see all the time and it's always them provoking you without reason, you may want to re-evaluate... What about the friends you keep defending? Apparently they're not bothered.

    That goes with the one major question on my mind. Is this so they can change themselves for the better. Or is because they want to keep doing what they're doing without any fear of a punishment that could serve as a giant wake up call.

    I almost want to say the latter because they keep on stating that they can't control themselves and they're afraid that if they say something like a your momma joke someone is going to report them or take it out of context and report them. While having fully admitting that they have an alt for a just in case their main gets baned. They also don't come off as very remorseful and seem to only to care about losing the time and work they've put into their main.

    That's the feeling I'm getting too. Browsing through the posts I haven't seen really any sign of wanting to change themselves, just the rules to excuse them.

    I guess that all depends on how you play the game. Do you play a lot of PvP or high end content? Or are you a casual? Myself I never find Toxic environments because I solo a lot. I bet if you spent a lot of time in the "Environment" this kid seems to play in you to would see it. *shrugs*
