the whole account moderation situation is already bad and you guys are making it worse.

I mean hundreds of people still gonna be buying 10k worth of pixels next league. Why would they care?

It's a step in the wrong direction. Let people have their fun, stop the fascism over mutes. Toucans are healthy for the community, but then we already got rid of those.

The only mutes I want to see are ones flaming, being toxic, and selling RMT.

Everything else you should NOT have your game access (trading) removed.

I'm all for getting rid of the annoying people. But muting someone for guessing 666 on a facebreaker unidentify is just absurd. Guessing facebreaker values is one of the oldest traditions. And beeing disciplined for the number 666 in a game where we slay all kinds of demons is just weird.
Or what's up with the other guy getting a mute for explaining a game mechanic?

You need to get rid of the people spamming crap and slurs, but regular players should not feel afraid to type in allchat. I expect more from ggg in that regard.

If you are going to prevent interaction with game systems while muted, just suspend the account.

Imagine getting locked out of trade and all social interaction for multiple leagues because you accidentally ctrl+V an item into chat instead of POB...

This is honestly pretty weird and feels heavy-handed.

Like sure, mute/suspend ppl that abuse the announcement system. Removing their ability to abuse the system they abused makes sense.

But coupling the doubling mute duration regardless of infraction, with essentially forced SSF, is what's crazy to me. Sure it attaches a real penalty to not being a dickwad, but given how easily mutes are handed out it's just kind of wild to be disconnected from the ecosystem too not just chat.

Fully agree with Arakki.

>oh muted for 8k days

nice 'we changed nothing' status update besides clarifying the obvious (that old mutes don't apply, becuase the flag isn't set). I'm absolutely convinced that if someone wanted do, they would have run an update against the entire database (lol) and start crashing out the game as people join (lol) just so they could flag old mutes and trade chat ban people.

For those thinking " It will only be a one minute/one hour mute". It doesn't matter if it's one minute or one year. The initial realization that after 10+ years of "good behavior" and money spent, I was then treated like a freeloading leech that is deserving of some form of punishment will trigger my simple brain to think that this is not the community for me. It's just how a lot of people's brains are wired.

Accurate stuff right here.

These changes make me LESS INCLINED to report people. I don’t know how long their next mute is, so I’m potentially banishing them to SSF for the duration. This change sucks.

OH wow they really wnet through with it

Horrendous change, why is your studio becoming more and more authoritarian over the years? I miss old GGG. Stop empowering and enabling tattle-tale crybullies. At least you guys can't censor the threads on /v/ and /vg/ which some of you even read. I've had to block a moderator of yours, too, who abused their power and would ban me for sneezing in global. I can't imagine what would've happened to me under these rules. Bizarrely I guess this is what you want though. Let's PoM random players.
