Either ban these players or just get rid of chat altogether

Anyone that announces they’re putting someone on ignore/mute/squelch then proceed to continue having endless conversations about the person they muted really have no place in a game.

If people won’t get banned then how about just remove general chat altogether so no one can use it. After all all anyone tells people to do is stop using chat and all anyone does is abuse report.

Just get rid of global chat and it will remove 99% of idiots who do this crap in the game.
What’s fair is fair, if all people want to do is say don’t use chat then they shouldn’t have access to it either.

Rockstar got rid of Global chat in GTA Online and the game has been running perfectly fine, in fact 99% of all problems are gone.

The important thing to note is how before it was removed people complained it would ruin the game but the reality was the people complaining were the ones actually abusing people in chat which meant There complaint was really about their way to abuse people was taken away from them, and we can’t have that now can we…

This game has absolutely no use for global chat, Sure a couple of people who want to keep chat to abuse and harass people will always come up with excuses for how they get to harass and abuse people should remain, but again they’re really complaining and making excuses because there way of harassment and abusing people is threatened so they create chaos out of it just like this topic, no doubt the replies will be who hurt you or blaming which proves my entire point on why chat doesn’t belong in the game, the people in the game will come here and do it.

My favorite excuse statement these people come up with is:
You can just shut chat off but that doesn’t remove the trouble makers they are still in the chat abusing and harassing.

Rational people see what’s going on and say yeah just get rid of chat stop allowing abusive people to get away with it.

Game chat doesn’t even work. Remove the Trade channel. Remove the Lobby channel. When some advertising bot whispers you, don’t create a separate channel for that.

Someone really rustle you this badly? Maybe you’re the problem if everyone chooses to both ignore you and laugh at you.

Classic TXan thread. Thought he was long gone with RandyBoggs but I guess they always have some obscure reason to return

I don’t know who hurt you, but you clearly fail at social interactions if you see no use for a chat.

Blizzard just released Warcraft 2 remastered without a global chat and lobby and it made it so much worse.
You can’t see if anybody is online, you can’t organise games, especially for tournaments, you can’t talk about the game you just had or which map you want to host next.
People are now forced to join 3rd party tools and “veterans” already know which “channels” to use, but it is super frustrating for new joiners.

It would be the same for D2R, although the current lobby is already trash and much worse than old bnet

5/7 the perfect score

Honestly, what was wrong with how chat worked in legacy? Bring that system back please.
