I love the people that say "yet you keep the chat open" these are the same people that will say "if you don't like grouping go play single player games". Hate to tell ya all this but that is called community and it all starts in chat not just guilds. LOTRO has a great community, one of the best.
Now the people that talk smack like that in the old days wouldn't be playing the game very long unless they love to be pvp'ed every time they turn around. In UO we use to eat people like this for lunch. Man some times I really miss those days.
I think a good fix for this is when a person uses so many swear, racist remarks they are flagged pvp yet anyone now can kill them and they won't go pvp. How long will they act like this in game? Next character they may login and talk all sweet. Just a thought.
And yet.....you continue to play the game, keep the chat logs open, read what is posted there, and fail to ignore the offenders.
One has to assume you actually enjoy it, at some vicarious level, if only so you can come here to slam the game and it's playerbase.
You have no idea how bad it is!
It's easier to just outright turn off chat, or you spend most of your playtime putting people on ignore. And as most games have cap on how many you can Block, the list will be full within an hour or two.
It really is that bad! It's definitely one of the worst chats I have seen in a long time.
It's what you get when you mix Free 2 Play with Open PVP with looting.
It's the worst possible mix, attracting the worst kind of people from the internet.
DUDE It has nothing to do with F2P, Open PVP with Looting. My wife was sexually Harassed in SWTOR because she was not speaking French, SEXUALLY HARASSED! The same shit that goes on in EVERY MMO we ever played. We ignore them report them and the Publisher deals with them. In SWTOR where she was Harassed, there was no Open PVP with looting or F2P at the start and there was still BS like this going on.
Sorry you have 1 Motive here thats it. You want to bash a game because you dont like F2P and Open PvP with looting. THATS IT so you are going to be overly dramatic about something that is a handful of morons being stupid. Sorry NO you failed at logic here.
And yet.....you continue to play the game, keep the chat logs open, read what is posted there, and fail to ignore the offenders.

100% this. It seems the agenda of some to just come and slam the playerbase instead of just blocking a handful of people who are being stupid. Then come here and be overly dramatic about a handful or stupid people slam the game as if the game is 100% the fault of this bs. NO ITS HUMANS BEING MORONS! THE END!
And you were acussing us for being over dramatic? the irony.. wow!
You are being overly dramatic. Hell in SWTOR my wife was being sexually harassed by some french Canadians in SWTOR. We didnt come to MMORPG.com and cry bitch and complain about it. We blocked well over 100 french people. You sir are being overly dramatic. So NO EVERY MMO has this crap.
Have your wife log into AA, make a female char and play the game a bit. Lets see how that goes.
SWTOR is free 2 play now. So I am not all that suprised it bring more asshats into the game.
Advantages of Pay 2 play, is when asshats start harrasing People, they get permanently banned and lose Box price of the game as minimum. And as you have to enter actual valid personal and payment info, it's a hell lot harder to create another account.
Free 2 Play games have no concequences for these asshats. Most of them are freeloaders, not spending a dime, so when they get banned, they just create another account.
Me and My wife Play AA RIGHT NOW. Guess what we did what we normally do with ANY MMO. Yea that is make a Guild chat with only chat we want to see and we get involved with 0 open world chats. WHY? Because its the SAME from game to game. It has nothing to do with F2P vs P2P. HELL in WOW there chat is just as BAD but players only get a 72 hour ban and they are back at it in trade chat 3 days later. SO NO F2P has nothing to do with it.
The ONLY think that F2P has over P2P is more gold sellers than normal. Thats it. None of it is about the level of harassment because Trion can Ban and close an account and will force that player to start over. And yes they can ban the IP address range if they want to.

Yea Overly Dramatic because I state an the Truth? No thats just throwing your LACK of logic in your face. People Will be MORONS end of story. IF you cannot accept that then you cannot accept Humanity.
I agree, ArcheAge chat is rather bad, that's why i don't read faction chat. But if you want to see something worse, go play APB. District chat in APB makes ArcheAge faction chat look tame.

I think everyone is here quite calm except for you. You are getting way too hyper and throwing caps lock on.
If you know it is just human beings being morons then why did you even care that your wife is being harassed? i haven't seen any logic, not even an iota of it.
Accusing people of having an 'agenda' against 'your' game when they are simply discussing about the vile community is far from being 'logical'.
Now take a deep breathe and stop taking this too personally.

Wow. That sounds pretty lonely. I never turn off global chat for any MMO I play. It's one of the reasons I play: to be social. If I have to turn off that general chat, then then game has lost any social aspect for me...
In the days of EQ, you would never see the type of comments made you see in every online game today. Chat has technically changed very little, people who play mmos have.
Its unfortunate, but there should be some sort of chat moderation.
I wonder how this would break down figuring in free accounts vs pay accounts? I would assume that its the ftp peeps only cause its easy to and you dont care if you get banned. FE had seperate channels for certain levels or ftp players if i recall, perhaps something like that might work?
Indeed. I was suspended for a week in EQ for calling someone an ass for kill stealing.
I was ban for a week in UO for calling someone a F** because he took my gear that I traded to him to fix. Yes I got my gear back but was still ban for a week. Problem is today NO mmo throws more than a 72 hour ban on people and RARELY bans anyones account for life. Why? Because there are too many MMOs out there and they need to make money. So they need people who are less than desirable.

Yes. What else are you going to call a few people who cause problems? A handful of MORONS being stupid. Guess what They were ban because we never seen them again. We reported them. We also blocked them. Hell I even turned off general chat because they were starting with everyone and anyone. All from 1 guild too. Guess what Its not different than AA or some BS that went on in WOW. You can sit and blame the ENTIRE community if you want. Its not, its a group of people thats it. Hell my AA guild there is no bs, no harassment nothing going on and we are over 130 members. because you see a dozen people it does not equal the community.

Talking in General Chat does not equal Social. IF that is your argument you FAIL. Lonely hardly I got on TS with countless other of my guildmate and chat. I still have about 20 friends who have not tried AA yet and I talk to them on a weekly bases. Talking to a bunch of Children in General chat does not = Social.
Seems the players are not afraid of Trion soo much racist chat even trial chat i have ever seen in any mmo because of the bad reporting system i can see a lawsuit here also see bullying in chat every day.
Just a reminder that this is what the OP opened with ...........
In the OP's experience it's the worst chat they have seen.

You pretty much defeated Your own response.
Yes ofcourse TRION can ban an account. That's all they can do.
Pay 2 Play MMO's have a much higher and effective barrier against asshats! It's called a boxprice for the game and a Subscription fee!
I am not saying there are no asshats in P2P MMO's, as there are. But far less than in your average F2P MMO.
There is ZERO Financial concequences in a F2P game for getting your account perma banned! As like I said, most of these social handicapted asshats know what they are doing! They are freeloaders and won't spend a single dime.
And they can't ban IP addresses, yet alone IP ranges! Every ISP uses DHCP these days and contineously cycles IP addresses among their customers. It's almost impossible these days to get Broadband with dedicated IP adress anymore. Only expensive business packages provide it.

Maybe it doesn't for you; but for others.like me it does.

not to make light of the issue, but clearly you never played WoW, DOTA2, TERA, StarCraft, AION, etc etc etc. you get the point im sure.

Ah ha, ok NOW I get you......................................................
Its 100% the truth. One guy who uses to be my friend for a long time could not play MMOs prior to the MMO industry exploding. He could not. He used the N word all the time and got ban account locked for ever and everything. He does not see more than a 72 hour ban for using it. Hell he had been ban 14 times in WOW during Cata and its till active. I choose to not interact with him since Cata but I know him too well. It does not matter no one will perm ban him in any game.

Heads up you can do an IP ban but it only works until DHCP resets. And it does not matter because guess what ALL MMOS are going F2P in the future. SO that is going to defeat your argument everytime. Only 2 MMOs are doing well P2P. WOW and FFXIV. Thats it. And guess what? You still have problem children in them that only get 72 hour bans NOT FULL BANS.
O and NO there is not less than Average in a P2P MMO. Ever watch Trade chat in WOW? I cannot watch Trade chat because the BS in there. Guess what I turn it off. Sorry its ALL MMO dont like it? Block the chat. Sorry trying to get your personal agenda through on AA. You dont like it? Good go elsewhere stop bitching about the game.
Seems the players are not afraid of Trion soo much racist chat even trial chat i have ever seen in any mmo because of the bad reporting system i can see a lawsuit here also see bullying in chat every day.

I agree it happens with any online game. Enough said
It's a PvP game, so of course the chat is going to be filled with douchebaggery. These types of games always attract the worst humanity has to offer. While I can't comment on AA's chat (haven't played the game, and don't want to), I will say that I would find it hard to believe that it could be worse than what I experienced with EVE Online.
Seriously, what the hell happened? Older PvP MMOs didn't have chat so bad. I remember playing Shadowbane, and the community was actually pretty good.
Guess that's just humanity in general.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

Because back then MMO's, even PVP ones were a niche. Everyone else was playing Unreal Tournament, Quake, Battlefield 1942, etc.

Yes it is just Humanity in general. There is no patch for human stupidity. O and its not just PVP games its all MMOs right now. Hell I can even go to MOBA, HoTS I played the other day and seen major douchebaggery. and it was Player vs CPU.

So true. A totally brutal game, yet such a civil player base for the most part. It was nice that the players could police each other as well - bully my guildmate? Guess what? We will tear your city to the ground and dismantle your clan for that.

I am now actually glad there is no Open Proximity chat and text chat in Destiny.
Seeing the Bungie forums.... I guess Bungie made a wise decision, to keep chat to private parties only.
Comments
I love the people that say "yet you keep the chat open" these are the same people that will say "if you don't like grouping go play single player games". Hate to tell ya all this but that is called community and it all starts in chat not just guilds. LOTRO has a great community, one of the best.
Now the people that talk smack like that in the old days wouldn't be playing the game very long unless they love to be pvp'ed every time they turn around. In UO we use to eat people like this for lunch. Man some times I really miss those days.
I think a good fix for this is when a person uses so many swear, racist remarks they are flagged pvp yet anyone now can kill them and they won't go pvp. How long will they act like this in game? Next character they may login and talk all sweet. Just a thought.

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
DUDE It has nothing to do with F2P, Open PVP with Looting. My wife was sexually Harassed in SWTOR because she was not speaking French, SEXUALLY HARASSED! The same shit that goes on in EVERY MMO we ever played. We ignore them report them and the Publisher deals with them. In SWTOR where she was Harassed, there was no Open PVP with looting or F2P at the start and there was still BS like this going on.
Sorry you have 1 Motive here thats it. You want to bash a game because you dont like F2P and Open PvP with looting. THATS IT so you are going to be overly dramatic about something that is a handful of morons being stupid. Sorry NO you failed at logic here.
And you were acussing us for being over dramatic? the irony.. wow!
Me and My wife Play AA RIGHT NOW. Guess what we did what we normally do with ANY MMO. Yea that is make a Guild chat with only chat we want to see and we get involved with 0 open world chats. WHY? Because its the SAME from game to game. It has nothing to do with F2P vs P2P. HELL in WOW there chat is just as BAD but players only get a 72 hour ban and they are back at it in trade chat 3 days later. SO NO F2P has nothing to do with it.
The ONLY think that F2P has over P2P is more gold sellers than normal. Thats it. None of it is about the level of harassment because Trion can Ban and close an account and will force that player to start over. And yes they can ban the IP address range if they want to.
Yea Overly Dramatic because I state an the Truth? No thats just throwing your LACK of logic in your face. People Will be MORONS end of story. IF you cannot accept that then you cannot accept Humanity.
SO, your wife was sexually harassed by a "handful of morons being stupid" in SWTOR. Is that correct?
I think everyone is here quite calm except for you. You are getting way too hyper and throwing caps lock on.
If you know it is just human beings being morons then why did you even care that your wife is being harassed? i haven't seen any logic, not even an iota of it.

Wow. That sounds pretty lonely. I never turn off global chat for any MMO I play. It's one of the reasons I play: to be social. If I have to turn off that general chat, then then game has lost any social aspect for me...
I was ban for a week in UO for calling someone a F** because he took my gear that I traded to him to fix. Yes I got my gear back but was still ban for a week. Problem is today NO mmo throws more than a 72 hour ban on people and RARELY bans anyones account for life. Why? Because there are too many MMOs out there and they need to make money. So they need people who are less than desirable.
Yes. What else are you going to call a few people who cause problems? A handful of MORONS being stupid. Guess what They were ban because we never seen them again. We reported them. We also blocked them. Hell I even turned off general chat because they were starting with everyone and anyone. All from 1 guild too. Guess what Its not different than AA or some BS that went on in WOW. You can sit and blame the ENTIRE community if you want. Its not, its a group of people thats it. Hell my AA guild there is no bs, no harassment nothing going on and we are over 130 members. because you see a dozen people it does not equal the community.
Ah ha, ok NOW I get you......................................................
Talking in General Chat does not equal Social. IF that is your argument you FAIL. Lonely hardly I got on TS with countless other of my guildmate and chat. I still have about 20 friends who have not tried AA yet and I talk to them on a weekly bases. Talking to a bunch of Children in General chat does not = Social.
Just a reminder that this is what the OP opened with ...........
In the OP's experience it's the worst chat they have seen.
You pretty much defeated Your own response.
Yes ofcourse TRION can ban an account. That's all they can do.
Pay 2 Play MMO's have a much higher and effective barrier against asshats! It's called a boxprice for the game and a Subscription fee!
I am not saying there are no asshats in P2P MMO's, as there are. But far less than in your average F2P MMO.
There is ZERO Financial concequences in a F2P game for getting your account perma banned! As like I said, most of these social handicapted asshats know what they are doing! They are freeloaders and won't spend a single dime.
And they can't ban IP addresses, yet alone IP ranges! Every ISP uses DHCP these days and contineously cycles IP addresses among their customers. It's almost impossible these days to get Broadband with dedicated IP adress anymore. Only expensive business packages provide it.
Maybe it doesn't for you; but for others.like me it does.
not to make light of the issue, but clearly you never played WoW, DOTA2, TERA, StarCraft, AION, etc etc etc. you get the point im sure.
Its 100% the truth. One guy who uses to be my friend for a long time could not play MMOs prior to the MMO industry exploding. He could not. He used the N word all the time and got ban account locked for ever and everything. He does not see more than a 72 hour ban for using it. Hell he had been ban 14 times in WOW during Cata and its till active. I choose to not interact with him since Cata but I know him too well. It does not matter no one will perm ban him in any game.
Heads up you can do an IP ban but it only works until DHCP resets. And it does not matter because guess what ALL MMOS are going F2P in the future. SO that is going to defeat your argument everytime. Only 2 MMOs are doing well P2P. WOW and FFXIV. Thats it. And guess what? You still have problem children in them that only get 72 hour bans NOT FULL BANS.
O and NO there is not less than Average in a P2P MMO. Ever watch Trade chat in WOW? I cannot watch Trade chat because the BS in there. Guess what I turn it off. Sorry its ALL MMO dont like it? Block the chat. Sorry trying to get your personal agenda through on AA. You dont like it? Good go elsewhere stop bitching about the game.
I agree it happens with any online game. Enough said
It's a PvP game, so of course the chat is going to be filled with douchebaggery. These types of games always attract the worst humanity has to offer. While I can't comment on AA's chat (haven't played the game, and don't want to), I will say that I would find it hard to believe that it could be worse than what I experienced with EVE Online.
Seriously, what the hell happened? Older PvP MMOs didn't have chat so bad. I remember playing Shadowbane, and the community was actually pretty good.
Guess that's just humanity in general.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

Because back then MMO's, even PVP ones were a niche. Everyone else was playing Unreal Tournament, Quake, Battlefield 1942, etc.
Yes it is just Humanity in general. There is no patch for human stupidity. O and its not just PVP games its all MMOs right now. Hell I can even go to MOBA, HoTS I played the other day and seen major douchebaggery. and it was Player vs CPU.
So true. A totally brutal game, yet such a civil player base for the most part. It was nice that the players could police each other as well - bully my guildmate? Guess what? We will tear your city to the ground and dismantle your clan for that.
I am now actually glad there is no Open Proximity chat and text chat in Destiny.
Seeing the Bungie forums.... I guess Bungie made a wise decision, to keep chat to private parties only.
