Please, let us write in chat!

To be fair, a lot of the toxic quickchat is because players can't actually type out or get the point across what they are trying to communicate. It's ironic that they removed chat to prevent toxicity, only to amplify the amount of people that misuse the quickchat for exactly that lol. Just proves that people will always find ways around the system. A lot of the irritation is not being able to correct mistakes from your team or get information across, and correcting said behavior doesn't have to be done in a toxic way btw~. The fact that they have received so many tickets on pvp and was forced to make a statement just proves that they didn't stop what they were trying to with the quick chat system. I would be willing to bet that allowing people to actually type or make macros for instant callouts would reduces the toxicity more than taking it away has added. Worst case you continue to report the people that are being toxic like what's going on now.

"Fall back and regroup" Okay, but why are we falling back since our team is already here? Oh, the enemy Dark Knight popped their limit break and we are wasting a ton of resorces on someone we can't kill? They also managed to drag us all into a salted earth and a White Mage laser beamed us to death? Dang, the Dark Knight got a Quietus off and fully restored their health during that stun also? Why didn't someone call that out!? A ninja has limit break up and a few of us are already low health? Half the party is down and Leeroy is over here trying to 1 vs 5 and gets melted by the enemy team? Fall back and regroup doesn't really get the point across most of the time.

Ok, not even you believe that.

If there was a chat, the insults and blaming will be every game, you cannot be that naïve, we have all played LoL or Dota or similar. With chat, it will be the war. People AFK at base triggering the team because they didnt help, others typing while the only sane parson is under crystal defending...

No thanks, chat will be the end of PvP, it will be such disaster they will remove the ranked system.

That is precisely the issue! For me, at least, I get pissed specifically because I can't communicate with my team in a meaningful way. I see a dragoon LB going off and nobody on my team is guarding? Let me do *something* about it like godDAMN. It's frustrating how limited the quick chat is for a "competitive" game mode. Yes, there will be more people venting unfiltered thoughts, but the benefits can't be ignored. And clearly quick chat isn't doing what it was supposed to since they had to put out this whole statement on toxicity.
