Hi, Alisha here.
It's 2020, well.. Mid of it alredy.. and you still see situations where peoples insult, hackusate, make jokes of and laugh about other players inside the chat.
While it is clear that this is only a Virtual Game where you have fun, some other peoples could take words written as real hackusations and offenses.
This isn't that good, and im surprised the company didn't made a move yet about this.
Let's be honest, this isn't the only problem still present inside APB.
We could talk about Griefing, Ramming, Blocking, Exploiting, Cheating, Spamming, Team Killing, Stalking and many more.
But, im here today because i wanted to know, to hear what you all think about this specific thing.
My questions for you are 2:
1) What you think the in-game chat is missing?
2) What you think it needs? (To get to a point where newbies can ask questions and get answers without the need to read and get confused under many other childish comments and /cointoss spams together WTS/WTB/WTT etc.)
From my POV it needs some better chat categories, with a juicy new and better spam filter, that also silence automatically banned words (no, im not talking about 'noob' or 'idiot' or even 'fuck you'), im talking about 'i hope your family dies in a car crash' and all of those really bad sentences.
Is just disperspectful and disgusting to still see all of this happening in 2020 as i said at the beginning.
This, needs to be solved, maybe it isn't a proprity like other major issues, but surely it still is very much important, because many peoples also left due to this.
Solving the chat would mean removing 25 up to 30% of the toxicity, while the other % would be removed changing/adjusting or reworking the other systems i have named above.
Talking about the in-game chat btw i mean every since channel of it (District, Group, Team, Clan, Whisper, Yell, Say and more if there are).
There needs to be some stright and aggressive ToS and filter rules on that, like they works on the forums they should work Also in-game.
Well, let me know what you think and if you may have other suggestions or different ones, even if you disagree with me comment with anything you feel could/would be useful for that.
