Originally posted by GwapoJosh its protected speach under the first amendmant, so if the game dont wanna crack down on it its just talk anyway. as mentioned before, if you dont like it, dont pay the game money or play it, theyll get the message when they only have a few assholes flaming each other in chat not paying to play. |

TERA chat is quite graphic. It's enough to make me blush at times. I'm somewhat surprised as to what they allow at times, but since I usually shut global off in MMO's it didn't bother me very long I guess. Chat certainly doesn't do anything to stop TERA's reputation as a place where pervs and pedo's hang out. It's kind of a shame, actually.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Originally posted by neorandom It's not protected speech under the first amendment. Threats against children should not be tolerated in any form anywhere not even as some sort of sick joke.

I've played Tera since it came out.. I've never had someone say a racist/pedophiliac thing to me, nor have I read something as disturbing as what the OP quoted. Also I don't recall any game company notifying you of their decision to punish players you report as it serves no purpose, so I call bull on some of the things he said.
But as far as the topic goes, turn off global, mute/report people if you want, and play the game, get over it, there are tons of disgusting people on this planet, deal with it.

Originally posted by GwapoJosh Yes and that is why Tera is the F2P game it is today. The game is filled with the single WORST community in the genre and they drove as many people away as the game itself did.

Originally posted by neorandom We have had this argument before - in game chat is NOT free speech. The company can and should whack the heck out of these people because you are chatting in a product of their IP, not face to face. |

Great another one of these threads. Use the /ignore or /mute feature and move on, I don't know anyone who cares about your personal feelings on some troll in general chat.

I've been experiencing the same thing. Most people are not-talking or just being trolls/asses. If there's anyone playing on Ascension Valley (NA) not being a total douchebag and want to group up or something, just give me a message! I'd like some nice and respectable people to talk to.

There's always bad apples in every game you just have to weed them out. Join a good guild and turn off the Global channel then you don't have to worry about it... Keep blocking if you have too I know it sounds bad but you have unlimited block...
While I agree this community is worse then alot of games its really Global chat that is the worst turn that off and your pretty much g2g. There is a couple idiots in Area but nothing like global chat it's basically "the barrens" of Tera.....
I joined a good guild and am having fun for the moment who knows once I max out probably will mmo hop again thats my pattern....

Originally posted by Aeonblades It's hard to do that to most of an entire MMO playerbase, especially when an MMO is supposed to have multiplayer interaction. TERA has a horrible community through and through. I've known it for a while. Not sure why anyone would defend people who say the kinds of things that get said in TERA chat. Pathetic. |

Originally posted by Ecoces This is exactly why I quit playing. When you get people commenting on what they would like to do to their "child" character, it's time for me to move on. OP...people are doubting some of what you say, but I found chat to be as bad as you described. Obviously people posting here do not pay attention to the chat when they play. I wish I could ignore chat in mmo's, but I watch it often to look for people selling stuff or LFG. OP...Do like I did and find something else to play. Just my thoughts on the subject |

Originally posted by Thorkune It's so stupid though to quit over something so trivial IGNORE it....
I mean really people can't turn off the chat or block people I mean if you like the game. I just don't understand people quitting basically means (the haters, trollers, whatever you wanna call em) WIN.....
This community is no worse then Wow or AOC... AOC has the worst people I have ever dealt with in my life.... This doesnt even compare..... |

Originally posted by nationalcity It would be easy to ignore if its just a few people, but when you have to turn off an entire CHAT CHANNEL because of 100s of jackasses it makes the game what? What is the point of playing a god damn MMO when you end up with every single public chat channel turned off! May as well play a single player game. “I hope we shall crush...in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." ~Thomes Jefferson |
