So this is what it has come to? Pathetic.

Guys, it is true that is pointless and stupid to make some comments. People have different ways to deal with the "shame" of "defeat" (I still think there's no shame in defeat, shame is in behaving badly or not doing your best or not fighting the Good Fight) - Same are not mature enough to realize that being bested is not bad and that hitting back is not making you look better.

Just ignore them. We're mature (apparently), we're the stronger side - let's just take a deep breath and ignore whatever we can, and when it gets too bad report them. I know we're not solving the problem: but it's the most viable solution, me thinks. After all, you don't HAVE TO listen to them - one is not touched by petty little insults. Racist insults are not even to be mentioned - reported, yes, but not to be taken seriously. After all, who except a little mind can expect anything reasonable or useful to come from a racist comment, or the reaction to it?

with any luck observer mode will mean anet can no longer ignore the racism and bad will found throughout pvp. Until then take screenshots and spam them to support.

Yes, please scrap both. Anything that promotes nationalism, or any other such us vs. them mentality. Remove nations too.

We can only dream. *sigh*

As for PvP though? All channels are on. I'll ignore the ocassional insult because that same person is likely to type in a team strategy to everyone by mistake.

Yes, the only good -ism is obviously Nash-onalism

Umm why can't he post it on the forums? Is he supposed to turn a blind eye to it? Using your way of thinking then you didn't have to read this thread. You can just ignore it and not post in it. Sheesh.

But yeah, the level of crassness and racism and just plain idiocy never stops to amaze me.
