As you can see by my post count, i almost never have an opinion I care strongly enough about to discuss. I've coming here everyday for years and years. I'll start by saying I really like the global chat system. It has added to gameplay in several ways, from trading to hunting to just increased communication across the shard.
But having a system with no one to police it is irresponsible. I am not easily offended, and I have a colorful vocabulary. But I have read things that have made my jaw drop. Read multiple instances of racial, cultural and homophobic bigotry. And it's bothersome that the only way to avoid it is to withdraw from the community, and let those that would abuse the system take control of it. There has to be a better answer than that.
