    When I used to PVP the salt and rage tells made it worth not having it offline. When I raid I have it offline to avoid distractions.
    I play how I want to.

    All my characters are of the same faction, but I know others that are in PvP guilds that don't allow you to play another faction or you'd be kicked. They work around it by playing offline on their alt alliance characters.

    I play offline if I'm hiding from some people or just want to solo pvp zerg surf in peace and quiet. I don't do it too often though. 1 rage tell equals auto block at least temporarily (assuming they eventually cool off). I don't get why some people enjoy getting rage tells.

    Same here. Getting whispers about how I must be using a mod or exploit because someone couldn't kill me makes me chortle with amusement.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I do not. I also pve in offline mode. Why? Simply because I do not want to be disturbed, I am hiding or I just forgot to switch to online mode once I logged on (I ALWAYS quit game in offline mode)

    Yes. I got a bad whisper that left me perplexed about the mental stability of that player. After some time I had online mode and got another whisper (I was killed here) about my character's ass that was pretty weird perhaps from a necro.philia freak. After that I always keep offline mode, except if I forget. It's a waste of time.

    I do but it isn't to hide from angry whispers, it's simply for personal privacy and avoiding a certain individual who feels my time should be spent with said individual as soon as they log in.

    It got so bad that I was kicked from a trade guild for inactivity - I wtf'd then realised a month had passed with my status set to offline the entire time. Now I cycle online/offline when said individual isn't around.

    Brings a whole new meaning to playing a MagBlade I tell ya...

    No. Communication is too important in PvP, I'd be gimping myself if I did that.

    Besides, I've literally had more interesting/nice random tells than salty ones. The occasional drunk or rager is easy to block.

    Not in BGs, communication in BGs generally consists of either one person complaining, or someone calling someone out for being terrible.

    Very rarely is chat used for legitimate 'calls', though I will make an effort.

    In game voice chat is the only thing missing from Battlegrounds on pc.

    I started getting that feel of my old college days when TF2 was shiny and new but the lack of communication is frustrating. I was missing the sweet sweet song of "Medic!" And "Get on the point!" Lol

    There are no such thing as "incorrect" calls in Cyrodiil imho, just people misjudging the severity of threat/ being indecisive.

    Depends. Mostly I am online. I don't care about other factions whispers. Sometimes they are friendly and sometimes not. I did make "friends" on other faction due to PvP so that's good.
    I sometimes do play offline. Mostly if I am short of time and don't want to waste time chatting. When I am bombing I am always offline though.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Shamefully at the moment all my characters (all factions..) have been active in Sotha Sil... im sorry guys such traitorous me, and Yes I sometimes do play in offline mode, but mostly not.. I think many people get used to certain players on their other factions and know that you are not going to share information with them anyway. If anything you get a lot of friendly players who see you and then ignore you because they don't want to fight with you.. or maybe thats because i'm on a tank right now.. ;)!
