Too strict in-game communication rules

[Themarvin]

Well seen people in frontline calling sayign everyone is bad... and then at the end of the match that person(s) is actually not good at all for self....

I don't got an issue if a person like that get reported for rude and simply bad behaviour and even worse, not able to back up any justification about it either.

Most of the people that complain about it is bad, they get reported, they have been in contact with a GM who told them not to be like that or got suspended for a few days I give zero stuff for.

And the reasons is simple enough about it all.

EDIT:

I have been here 7 years playing this game, I haven't changed anyway that I talk and chat inside the game, I however DO KNOW, how to behave and act towards others, and those times I slightly by accident overstepped, I went to the person and told that what I did was wrong.

It is not very difficult to be nice and polite, with a bit of a sting now and then, but not a sting in a demeaning, dismissing or in whatever rude way.

There is other live people behind these screens, and the ToS serve to protect those people from actual bad behaviour and language aimed towards them.

The few times I've seen people doing something wrong in an instance run, I don't point that person out for failing. Instead, I just say something like: "When X happens, please do Y".

Why do we all need to coddle the people who fail?

"Yes little jimmy you didn't fail it's just that if X happens it would be awesome if you do Y!!! Hearts and kisses kisses"

Why do people need to act like jerks?

It's a game played for fun. Not everyone has the same skill potential, many for reasons outside of their control such as medical problems.

There are polite ways to handle issues that arise.

Because the game needs to be an ultra comfy safe space so that the people who don't even try can feel like they're good at the game when they clearly aren't by any objective standard. Because putting in genuine effort to try and improve at games is obviously a relic of the past and anyone who thinks differently is a jerk. Obviously.

If you feel that you need to censor yourself to not being banned, maybe you should check why. Unless you directly insult someone, admit you are using 3rd party tools or cheats, you will not get banned. I've playing since release and not a single GM told me anything.

Some people thinks that they are allowed to be rude on other players without consequences because they are "right". There are plenty of ways to communicate without being disrespectful. Some of you think that telling someone "Your DPS is shit" or "You play like shit" or "Your're a noob" is perfectly acceptable, but think twice and you will realize it is not. If you can't communicate without being rude or recurring to personal attacks or whatever, then the problem is you, not the rules.

Also people here manipulates a lot the message. They say things in game like "You are stupid noobs, you don´t know the mechanics works like this?" Then they come this forum or reddit or whatever and tell you "I got an account suspension because I explained the mechanics! Bad GM!". No, you got suspended for insulting, not for explaining. I've been explaining mechanics all my life in this game an no one banned me for a single minute.

Stop trying to turn this game into a complete safespace, or go with other people that think the same way you do, I played WoW for over 14 years, I was told I was doing things wrong, that my DPS was terrible, and I took a lesson from that and improved, and got better at the game at the risk of getting kicked as it was in "high end content", which is normal, either I "git gud" or I can leave and go do raid finder, who am I to hold people back because I am failing at what I'm doing ? Also lol at the medical problems excuse, give me a break

Because some people's skin is paper thin. I've had people instantly leave after neutrally worded word of advice after they wiped party twice.

We're at the point of diminishing returns, further policing will just make people beware of any talking at all, and you can never truly silence toxicity. Ban knifes, people will kill each other with stones. Ban stones, people will strangle each other. Only way how to stop this entirely is to imprison everyone in their own cell.

I'm saying silencing specifically, because if you are repeatedly doing terrible, people will think that you're dumb. Just because they don't say it, doesn't mean they don't think it. This game doesn't cultivate toxicity-free people, it cultivates people that are afraid to speak their mind because of risk of ban.
