Anyone else notice that the chat in pvp has become very nasty. For a long time chat was cool, ppl would say things like good fight, good game and so on. Now chat is rude and turned into your mama this your mama that type chat

What happened? Is it a diff group of ppl playing now or the ppl pvping now are less mature?
Heck i had a person the other day after the pvp match was over got on his fed char and was spamming me with stuff.
I feel one way to fix this to a point is to stop cross chat. Don't let Klingons talk to feds and vice versa.
Now i know this goes on in many mmo's and Fps games. But the cross chat makes it even worse.

I think this was brought up before and I still believe that terminating cross faction communication is the absolute wrong way to go. It solves nothing and the ignore feature is there for a reason.
sorry but most of the people ive met has been during pvp on both sides, just ignore and move on, why let the few ruin it for everyone? especially since people arnt restricted to one faction.
this might sound mean but i like talking to the people i play with, i dont want to lose it beacuse someone spammed you and/or hurt your e-feelings lol. just add ignore the idiots like i do
most are nice and give a gg after a match thoug
Maybe I'm just on at less antagonistic times. We Europeans are known for being a peaceful bunch, not prone to petty bickering or belligerent posturing.
The last five thousand years beg to differ. True of everywhere of course.
No, you don't need GMs monitoring chat, or forbidden cross faction chat, you have an ignore feature built into the game. Use it. If you don't like what someone is saying, ignore them, you have the power and the responsibility.
Anyway, cross-faction chat should stay. I hope it's still there when they fix the idiotic flag capping time and it becomes fun again.
WW I and WW II mean anytthing to you? the crusades? who crusified that nitwit jesus christ? right it was US, the europeans. and im still loveing that last fact
Nice joke HAH; cluttering this forum with your thesaurus browsing abilities.
People from all over the world interact on the same server in STO; and this game seems to have more whiners than WoW US Servers - paints a nice picture, doesn't it?
My solution is, I just don't look at Zone chat anymore. I separate Team chat from Zone chat, in separate chat tabs. (Right-click on your chat window in order to customise the channel display for each tab, or to modify/create tabs.)
Unfortunately, these forums are becoming the same (looking at some responses within this very thread), so I will probably be reading these less, too. I do feel sorry for the people who -must- read through it all, however (i.e., Cryptic).
P.S. I didn't need a thesaurus to know to use those words
I think the man was talking about Europeans today, not 5000 years ago. Please continue eating your bannana.

But yeah, all it takes is one wise-guy with a smart mouth to turn the zone chat into something ugly. This is largely because PVP is competitive-- obviously, and people don't like losing, especially if it's because of a cheap tactic the other team/player used. I try to keep things civil and polite, but some people are just backwards and wrong in the head.
