Do we need in game liaisons with privileges to help moderate zone chat and PvP?

theyoungerbrother

The game devs have had years to moderate the games they promote when bugs are not addressed and concepts left incomplete or wanting. If they don't want to spend budget on real time moderators for an MMO can we ask them to create good morale liaisons?

Any examples of why that's needed? Be a heck of a budget to moderate 24/7 world

From what I see PC has alot more salty pvp chat than console. As Its easier to talk to enemy. Just don't seems to get much going on when I play anyway as you gotta bother to exit game, box msg and anything bad you get a ban.

When it comes to comms console is master race, built in voice yet separately policed pvp comms

That said leveling a NA toon of late ive noticed language is alot worse than EU

That's why they need PvP liaisons. Players with moderator capabilities. Area chat is offensive trash most of the time.

If they won't pay a geek minimum wage to moderate then make a system where the players can moderate their own campaign

Ignore if you personally find them unacceptable to listen to. Report if they are breaking ToS. Simple. No need for extra workload for anyone. You were given the tools so use them.

It feels like the reports I make in game get glossed over and was told they only really pay attention to reports and bug reports in the forum. This is a huge issue. I have 150x24 hours in PvP and I wonder if they even play their own game with the changes they implement seems to always favor the rule breakers

deactivate zonechat.
go to offlinemode when going to cyrodiil.

not like u miss anything worth reading.

We need zone call outs for support and direction. Turning off chat is a cheap excuse for moderation

Come see me in Vivec NA. I can still take keeps that are defended and not defended. I can do it with 5-12 troops supporting my heals. I'm too smart. I don't need zergs I just like taking PuGs and creating friends and adventures against the Orange Machine

Meh, I find zone chat to be amusing sometimes.

Just don't pay attention to the garbage, it's just words on a screen.

Area chat is the real PvP endgame. Plz don't nerf zone.

We need moderators.

No. Every game I've seen with this happen has gone to the toilet. Why? Because said players with moderator capabilities do not actually have anything to lose when their behavior is bad. Also usually creates a "favored class" of players. Both BAD in my opinion.

No.

I would rather deal with the crap zone chat than deal with a PLAYER that can and will eventually abuse that. They want to pay someone to moderate chat, that would be fine. But no, never give that kind of power to players.

-Edit to add- We do already have a way of doing this ourselves, ignore function.

idk

This. Heck, we do not seem to have PT GMs. Just occasional GMs that pop in once every few months.

Ignore salty chat, especially that which is in PvP. People feel safe hiding in their mother's basement when protected by the anonymity the internet provides.

I'd be happy to see GMs just in PvE to take care of bots once in a while. It's been months since I've seen one.

i hope this never happens.
we have been 5 years without zone chat moderation and i hope it stays that way.
if you dont like what some one is saying simply put them on block. solves the problem every time.

WitchyWarrior

I don't get this. At all...
Maybe it's different on console since it's voice I guess?
I mean, seriously. You have options. There is a profanity filter if swear words hurt your feelings. You can use the ignore feature if a player hurts your feelings. If you are really bent out of shape because of someones words on a screen, you can report that person.
This topic is so weird to me. Adults can't handle S*** talking in a game. WOW

U are going to play in "offlinemode" in a MMO? Are u *** kidding me? Why do u play pvp in the first place?
