Legit just look at how they are acting right now 
Only people like him are scared of chatting because they know they are the issue.

You’re just proving me right. Rudeness to the extreme.

Gameplay and convenience over-rode the need for social communities to play the game.
Theme Park MMO’s aren’t really MMORPG’s anyways.

I’m not going to assume anything about that guy. I don’t know him he could very well be a nice guy.
but in a general sense, if hatemongers and forum trolls are too scared to be hatemongers and forum trolls in the chat because then they’ll be reported and banned for being hatemongers and forum trolls, then the system is working.
they have their private discords to go spew their hatred in where the rest of us don’t have to deal with it.

Social communities are in discord and guild chats. Otherwise you guys are looking for RP servers, so why is it that none of you ever go there?

Yes, and that is why the servers are empty with no one talking, what OP is talking about. Everyone went to discord because they have more freedom to curse at each other, which online gaming is all about.
Moonguard mostly moved to discord as well because of the ERP scene. Before, you would see some of the filthiest convos out in the open, now you don’t.
Is it good, bad, who knows. It does make the game feel lonely but people just moved interaction off the game.

I see posts on reddit with whole community events being organized and ppl RPing in cities. Go to the none moonguard servers.
That makes me sad

and personally, I am fine with all of this.
my personal experience in WoW is as social or as non-social as I want it to be at any given time.

Yeah, but it is all via discord now. Not from the in game chat.
It’s not that much better IRL

And that is okay, just telling you why the game feels more void of people even though it isn’t. It is because they are striking harder on non-family type of language and that means all. Not just sexist or racist remakes. It is childish jokes with crude language, two friends cursing at each other in a world event and someone over hearing it. ALl of it can and will be reported, hence why it all moved out of the game.
Because let’s face it, real life humans are not family friendly. We sometimes do say some out of pocket things in jest our anger and people are not going to risk a ban for it. Players are real life people and real life people are truly colorful.

The key here is having something in common with people other than being in the same chat channel.
There’s plenty of socializing, OP, it’s just that people do it with like-minded folks, instead of with total strangers they’ll never see again.
Social WoW chatter has long ago moved to discord, forums, etc.
The in-game social scene was never that great to begin with. THUNDERFURY BLESSED BLADE OF THE WINDSEEKER spam, etc.

I’m shocked the usuals haven’t popped in to gaslight us about how there is no such thing as mass reporting.

THose were fun and let’s not forget the @nal jokes with the spells. Those are gone now too because people kept getting reported for it.

I don’t disagree, but also they aren’t wrong. People are talking less because there are better alternatives, but also you have people spreading into and buying in to this idea that anyone who speaks at all will get penalized for it. What they are doing is fearmongering, sensationalizing, etc

Not fearmongering when it is true.

I see this all the time. I take part too.
Nobody gets reported.
You must be either using some egregious stuff or paranoid for no reason.

Right, but in this case it isn’t true and therefore “fearmongering” is the appropriate term.
