Please, Get Rid of Quick Chat

[iVolke]

It's a ranked pvp game, I want agency over my team members to be able to tell them things like "Don't split". I don't care if people get mouthy, I'm a big boy.

Unfortunately ff14 players generally have the mindset of "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will absolutely destroy me"

The problem with open chat isn't that your feelings might get hurt by naughty words. The problem with open chat is that it's a distraction.
Once you have one or two teammates concentrating on typing what they think of each other instead of playing the game, the match is over.
At least in LoL, you can carry through someone sitting in spawn talking shit. In CC, that's very unlikely.
Every clutch comeback you've ever pulled in CC after your opponents won the first engagement and steamrolled through the checkpoint would've been a loss with open chat.

How about letting us make quickchat commands using auto translated words?

That was an idea I've had as well, but I don't know how I feel about it either. It would definitely widen the vocabulary to be useful, but we'll also just get weird macro messages of misplacing keyboards and other weird troll messages. I'm not against it personally, but judging by comments here so far, even the slightest 'annoying' or 'mean' thing is toxic and should be removed.

We'd also run the risk of people using it to erp in matches lmao, the only thing I want to attack in CC is the enemy, not Miqo'te rear. Still, it's a risk I'd be willing to take.

My take: Can we get both free chat and quick chat? I realize last time we had competitive mode free chat it lasted form 3.21 to 3.5 (They felt the need to put in chat restrictions after ~10 months). I also realize it probably doesn't make sense financially to expand the amount of staff reviewing reports on the part of SE. I guess we can dream though.

Both chats would provide:

- A set of standardized commands that people are already familiar with/ can familiarize themselves with off the hop. My mind also goes to those players who use a controller primarily. Switching between controller to keyboard sounds (is) cumbersome at the pace of a CC match.

- The ability to provide more in-depth communication within a team.

Keep Quick chat for CC but add more and better 'chat macro'.
