Champions needs Ingame GM's/Devs

in Suggestions Box
I think the game needs ingame Gm's/Devs, as the Zone Chat gets more and more toxic every day and a lot of people get harassed for the look or concept of their characters.
The main problem - in my opinion - is, that those Trolls know that there is not really any kind of monitoring/supervision of the Chats.
Also writing a report ticket is basically useless - you get a message from Cryptic if you want to add something - otherwise the report will be closed.
I have several friends that were bullied ingame all the time, there are groups who are literally specialized on doing that, choosing targets and harassing them afterwards.
I also know at least 4 players who stopped playing the game because of such Trolls/Bullies.
And to make it clear - I'm not some SJW, Snowflake or something like that, I just don't want to read racist, facist (talking about genocides, KZ's for Furries for example) or downward insulting stuff in chats, only because those people know that there will be no consequences.

    I'm so sick and disgusted with the Homophobic biggots and EDGY kids who wish death over communities in the zone chat lately
    Having it open to know the location of MC event bosses was a mistake​​

    They seem to allow trolls to flourish in all areas of the game
  • fermifermi Posts: 117 Arc User
    How would this logistically work? There are a dozen zones, often with multiple instances. It seems like it would require either a huge crew or the acceptance that most stuff would be unmonitored anyway, yes? And where exactly is the line for enforcement? It's all well and fine to say 'no bad stuff' but an actual moderator - and the players - will need well-defined standards.

    I'm not being a nay-sayer... it's just that the devil is often in the details.

    The line for enforcement will never really be up to the players, but rather PW/Cryptic themselves.

    I would hope that hate speech and discriminatory language is inappropriate, as well as threatening or harassing another player.
    These are the basics that should be adhered to imo, and aren't being adhered to currently .

    I get that they are open to interpretation, but that would be up to GMs and Cryptic/PW to come up with their definitions and how to enforce them.

    Maybe our current GMs are "free speech warriors"

    While there are indeed multiple areas of the game with their own separate chat rooms, just monitoring the MC zone chat would address the vast majority of what is being complained about, as that is where it mostly happens since that is the area with the most players gathered.​​

    that not really a problem if they will have to be anywhere all they need to be at is Millennium City zone, since that will be the most popular, and there are ways to keep track of zone and multiple locations, and if anything they can always make a tool/app to keep track of those things mentioned.

    2 of the more money making games don't have Zone monitoring/Troll hunting GMs. Why CO be any different.
    Since those people need to be paid for their job and ...you know....

    People will say things for attentions and if you don't want to hear them the ignore button is one click away.

    I know there are other ways to troll. I have seen people troll cosmics but that doesn't happen that often. I just want to offer at least one option. @ealford1985

    May I remind you people. No one is trying to offend you. It's simply.. Satire. I screencap everything. I would advise ignoring them or growing thicker skin.

    "everything" . What a bizarre practice, I wonder why?

    Yeah, shut up and stop complaining you marginalised groups who these trolls target. "Muh Free Speech!"

    Quite the blanket statement there! Wait is this post satire? Is some kind of satire-ception ongoing? O_o

    I get harassed mostly in personal messages, and I can assure whomever got on my case that I am absolutely trying to offend you back. I think of it as chat PvP.
