    Yet it's kinda accurate to how most are outside.

    You will always hear tales of how in more Eastern countries years past, the communications between players being largely restricted to /Tells.

    And like outside, you don't just randomly go up to a stranger, unless you're randomly trying to sell something, or it's content that requires/encourages cooperation/conversation.

    It just depends on a case by case, it is unfortunate you don't run into very conversational duties or zones.

    But they do exists.

    if this is as dry and empty and lonely here in English side of the community, I cannot imagine how it would feel in the more reserved nations XIV also calls home.

    The restrictions exist for reasons, just like in some places outside allow you to say whatever you like(but expect consequences if it crosses lines)

    There's also the fact its rated Teen or equivalent in other nations. (Age Ratings are obviously terrible at doing their tasks. but exist for reasons as well)

    People have ways to conver their thoughts and ideas without risking getting reported.

    Hell, people have gotten mad at me once for casually saying to let ___ player die when they "accidentally" pulled too many NMs in Eureka(and was targeted by their "W.Knight" friend IN SHOUT CHAT)
    [I left after saying goodbye in that session, with others being kind and caring for the situation. Since we all know that KO/Die/ETC is not meant in seriousness in a game.]

    Two sides of the same coin, people can be overly sensitive of the obvious, while also be ridiculous in expecting to be able to say whatever they want without consequences.

    [Had that White Knight not overreacted, we all could of had a relaxed conversation and bridge the misunderstanding. But the result cause them both leaving and a report filed at them]

    edit:
    incase it wasn't obvious, the restrictions are perfectly fine.

    But it doesn't help people when they get overly sensitive over misunderstanding or communication.

    or in this case, being too unhappy that they can't be as brash as one wants.

    [if this was a M Rated game, I would say, it probably would still be the same, except for the fact that terms for more explicit adult topics would not be blacklisted. But since it's Teen Rated, it does not apply]
