Request for Regional Chat

Please, tell me, how the situation would be worse? You will never have full control over the contents of an open chat channel unless you mod it yourself. Explain, please, how adding this would harm the community when they can turn it off any time.

Because it would reach a wider audience due to the wider reach of such a channel that you are requesting. Do you really cannot figure that out by yourself?

Worse situation? Okay.

If "Region Chat" was actually a thing, then RMTs, bots and such could be on any server and drastically reduce the amount of bots requires to spam the chats. Thus meaning that the % chance of SE catching them goes down, purely because there's less OF them to catch.

And again. Just like it's been voiced plenty of times. "Open chats" aren't always a good thing. If people want to talk to people outside of their server, they will find a way to do so. I sincerely doubt anyone on the Crystal Datacenter wants to suffer the memery and general shenanigans that are some servers shout chats. Besides those that commit to the memery and general shenanigans.

You being from Mateus yourself, I can assume you don't want to deal with, say.. The ragefests and witchhunting of Zalera or Coeurl, purely by sharing a datacenter with them. We already have enough people being morons and antagonizing aplenty. Giving them an unmoderated, unbound chat room to vent their venom in to brings far more problems than benefits.

(Zalera / Coeurl Servers used as example. Not intended to be an attack or a callout. I dont personally know the state of the other servers besides Balmung. It's just that I know these servers are on Crystal off the top of my head.)

It would certainly give the novices a much better impression than they get now. I had a friend quit soon into the game because, due to game lacking general chat, and honestly NN not even being avalaible to most sprouts, his impression of the community was from Twitter and Reddit, which really house the worst scum our community has to offer. He now thinks the whole community is like that and the worst of any MMO. And no, running content doesn't help you get a good impression either at the start, since most people don't even say hi in runs, especially in low level ones where they just want to be out quick.
The only valid point made is the RMT one, but that way they'd be quicker to block and report tbh. Still a valid concern but eh, there was a time when those bots sent us tells, even. Can't be worse.

And to all those who say: I don't want it because I wouldn't use it: cool, next time I'll go complaining about new savages/extremes implementation because I wouldn't run them anywya, so who needs them, right?
