I have had so many light hearted conversations lately. Is this social contract actually working? People are being cool again!

The tools and jerks are still out there, but they are keeping their collective heads down. I do agree, I’m finding the game to be a bit more non-toxic.

No that I’ve noticed. I made a non troll sunday post and it was flagged and hidden. This community is weird, must be cig smokers cause my post was about why they are still using them instead of vape. So lame.

Likewise, had one of the goofiest LFR raids in a long time. Waiting for a tank and we all drop toys and crack jokes. Was a fun time.

That’s good. The intervention works.
I mean in-game. I have my fair share of vacations on the forum lol.
I love that, makes it fun.

I haven’t noticed this at all tbh
People are not chatting, most chat channels are fairly dead besides “WTS” one-liners and RMT stuff from bots
Classic is mostly RMT stuff as well in the major channels such as /trade and /general, from what I’ve seen

But that can be a good sign of contentment too. I’m probably referring to m+ keys I guess. I’ve had a great morning doing keys. Constructive criticism too.
I doubt it.
Youre probably just running into different players.

I just match people’s energies. If they’re good to me, I try to be good to them. Maybe you’re being nice to people lately and they’re matching it

its the only way to be safe.
the ONLY time i respond to anyone is if they are asking me for help of some sort with a game issue.
if they just want to chat, no thanks. Too risky in this #reporteverything world.

Maybe but there is hope.
Haha, wish people matched mine, I do try.
I mean more on the small talk, high spirits during pug’s.
It is quite sad that it is hard to find a gaming community that isn’t anal these days. A lot more competitiveness in gaming now.

It’s not server maintenance yet! lol
Maybe I’m getting better as a player then?
The forums tend to be a free for all zone. Even and positive thread will draw the attention of some one with a wild hair up in their Wheaties. There are people out there that cannot stand someone else is enjoying themselves, they are a wretched lot.

If you go looking for trouble you’ll usually find it. The same applies to negativity.

hopefully.
Personally I have no faith in humanity’s ability to get better. lol.
After seeing the absolute jokes that people have been vote kicked for, I dont want anything to do with other players, lol.
most are probably fine, but I dont know them from Adam. Not having my account actioned over someone seeming nice and then ending up a nuclear powered Karen, lol
Jesus. Even in real life my wife forbids me to make friends anymore because Im VERY forward and open and make friends when the wind blows.
But 2 or 3 of them ended up being psychos…one of them was named Karen, lmao, go figure. Had to get the police involved, nearly had to get restraining orders.
Better to just not talk to anyone, snub everyone and not take a chance of their being a problem. lol
In regards to the forums, I have had many vacations due to sharing political views, I’ll continue to do so also. But never in-game.
Awaiting the negative
Well sometimes it out of your control in a pug setting. But I suppose that goes in-line with what you just said. I try keep my run to my guild, I love the m+ group we have. But I need more!
I’ve mostly run into new people who have been very kind. Can’t say anything else has been too different.
Pretty much the same, too much risk with false reports to bother with the major chat channels like trade nowadays
For me, only ingame places I don’t mind chatting nowadays:
- 5-man groups (4 reports are not enough to trigger an automated silence)
- epic battlegrounds (communication/calling incs in these is essential)
- regular 10-man/15-man battlegrounds (ditto)
- a private whisper from a neutral/non-hostile player, such as getting a whisper like “yo where do you get that mount?”… all whispers from belligerent or hostile players are ignored
- guild or community chat, for the few alts I have parked in them
That’s basically it, but I prefer Discord with like-minded players generally, since there are no “rules” there and by it’s rules-free nature it’s much more chill/relaxed

Even in group content? I find more chatting going in in m+ chill runs and lfr.
Pvp is still a wild West though lol but that’s somewhat expected.
