Honestly, Novice Chat needs a massive change. I'm not sure how other servers work out, but you have people posting adult websites, others defending it, stupid and ridiculous bickering, chats full of mentors and nothing from sprouts, and no moderation for mentors themselves. Some will try to keep it peaceful, some will kick willy nilly, some will act as though they are a mod themselves when all they are is just like the rest of us and share a cold personality to others.

Early morning NN is usually the most toxic and cancerous from my experience and it finally took a sprout to shut us all down when the pot kept being stirred by us:

[NOVICE]*redacted*: MY goodness and here I thought Gilgamesh was bad but you guys seems to take the cake. You guys lack any maturity to just stop your pointless bickering. What a bunch of "mentors".

This game is rated T for teen and I am sure the invitation to the chat does not involve random chatter and the chance an adult website will be mentioned, especially when we all know children play this game regardless of its rating, up to and including families. I wont post screenshots because I don't want anyone taking anyone's side, but I am asking the devs or whoever that can make the change, to make one.

No more gatherers/crafters, no more grinders, no more commendations. Novice chat needs a complete changeover or needs to be removed for something better. We could have separate chats like in other games, or a better system to where us mentors are moderated just as we seem to "moderate" the novice chat. Enough is enough, reports don't seem to do a single thing. It is time for a change and this new 5.1 update is not enough to curtail the abuse of the chat.
