*First and foremost, this wasn't help chat.*
I'm sorry but... "Virgin" isn't some kind of big offensive word. Nor is the word "incel". These are words used in mainstream media, they are politically correct terms; and actual words in the dictionary.
I used both of these words and somehow got a ban from chat "permanently". Yes, contextually i used them as insults, but as i'll explain, you'll see why it was a reasonable and mild response.
Also, the individual i said this too was actively trying to troll me in a form of play people often described as one of the most egregious forms of "griefing".
Now, i "grief" people all the time, and they say things that are negative towards me. They tell lies and slander.. I don't go and report them, because quite frankly, i'm not particularly sensitive, but beyond that, i think light insulting isn't really so ridiculous that one would expect something as harsh as a permanent communications ban.
So, someone is trying to grief me by fire bombing my pet (Yes, i'm trying a tamer, yes, i still think tamers are the most disgusting class in the game because i'm not biased, it is a temporary arrangement). Now, this is different from shooting someone's pet from outside of town, like i enjoy partaking in; that is fine because it actually takes a level of skill to pull off consistently, and people pay me to do so.. It isn't about causing some sort of mental anguish to people; second, it is about the only fun you can have on a pure archer build, as you're outmatched in near every other scenario. So i get my revenge on people when they're in town and i'm miles away at an advantage.
Elemental firebombing is not only skilless, it is quite clearly something that the developers find to be an undesired byproduct of the way their game works; but they have to leave it as it is, as it would compromise other elements of their game.
Now, for me to tell someone firebombing my pet that they're a "virgin incel edgelord" seems like a tame and reasonable (and factual) response to the circumstance. Their intent is to cause nothing but grief in the most lame effortless manner possible. I know that is what they want, so i told them what they are.
For this, the GM near instantly perma bans me from communication, right after the incel reports me. Honestly, it was so seamless it was like they were working together, and i now think the GM team is actually compromised by players who hold influence over them. I'd already heard rumors of this, but now i'm pretty convinced. They then came over and mocked me, because quite clearly the GM told them that i was chat banned. So if that doesn't tell you something is going on, i don't know what will.
Ah yes, i should be laughing about someone attempting to waste hours of my time with some unintended undesired byproduct in the game. Yes, they were just having fun, fun that would've cost me hundreds of gold.. I should've been having fun and laughing at how funny that is..
Are you stupid GMs??? I'm a human being, not a robot. Grow a brain please. People naturally react with anger when someone tries to wrong them. You think in the moment i was like "It is just a game, those hours of my life i can't get back don't even matter"; or do you think i was reasonably annoyed that some incel just tried to waste hundreds of gold by using an exploit that the devs already admitted they don't want in the game.
When i caused "grief" to people, they said all kinds to me, and i laughed at them, i didn't report a SINGLE person for any insult. Why? Because i'm not malicious and trying to harm someone on some deep level. Someone who firebombs a pet (which fortunately survived), and then INSTANTLY reports is what i like to call a "cry bully", who is out to be malicious to opposing players.
They want to cause real harm to others for no reason other than to take their revenge on the world because nobody wants to have sex with them. They have an anger inside them that is quelled by hurting others in malicious ways. That is why they find it fun. It is their way of taking back power against a world they feel wronged by; as they're so powerless in their own lives, it is the only way they can.
I've seen this crybullying tactic in other games, WoW (a terrible woke mess of a game) is one such example.
The report system is literally being weaponized by people who are simply out to cause people MALICIOUS harm. Again, when i found myself in a similar position, where i am the "griefer", i didn't report anyone hurling abuse at me. The only time i report is when i am unfairly banned in a two sided argument.
Do you think me calling a virgin a virgin was in anyway some serious malicious attack? Or do you think it was a mild ventilation of frustration directed at someone clearly only out to cause malicious harm?
Yes, firebomb a pet, fine. It is an undesired part of the game. But you're going to report me after mildly insulting you, then worse still, the GMs are going to perma ban communications for it, showing no empathy or understanding for the circumstance.
This is cry bullying at it's finest, and the GMs are helping these individuals exploit the overly strict rules.
"Virgin" and "incel" are both politically correct terms commonly used in the mainstream media. If i'd dropped the n-word or something, maybe they'd have something.
I felt obligated to point this out because this level of moderation is WAAAAAY too strict.. I mean, this is like leftwing nutjob levels of moderation. I think i speak for everyone when i say we don't want this over sensitive chat moderation in a game that requires drama between players to drive any interest in the player interactions and conflict in the game.
Real life threats? Doxxing? Sure ban them. Anything else that isn't some big political no-no word is fine; i personally think all insults should be fine, but we're living in this pathetic world where everyone cries about everything, so obviously asking for that is an impossibility.
Yes, lets all not be able to say anything negative in a game that is full loot PVP and built on player interaction and conflict. Like, do you want people to be immersed and invested in your game or not??? This is moronic and i demand my ban be undone, and that the person who reported me be banned for wasting GM time. I am utterly DISGUSTED by this injustice.
