Keeping /Map inclusive
I’ve kinda gotten the sense that Queensdale chat is now the Barrens equivalent.
Honestly, I don’t see a problem in people joking around or rambling on about random topics in map chat. I’ll usually jump in myself and joke around, some guy was talking about a unicorn chasing him in Queensdale he was trying to kill, so a few of us we’re trying to give him tips to fighting in, and listing other beings that were attacking as well.
A few times in LA I’ve seen some major arguments about actual topics start up, and some shorter ones as well.
If people aren’t trying to dictate what they’re saying as the complete truth, and still willing to accept that someone else has a differing opinion during a discussion, I see no harm.
If someone is putting someone down, or a group, etc. then it becomes something a little out of hand.
Otherwise, I don’t mind the nonsensical chats going on, and will join in on them myself if they’re any bit interesting.

Slurs are a bannable offense, you can report anything you find offensive and let the mods to sort it out.
Oh, I don’t mind randomness at all! I’ve had good experiences in Map too, and I still think we’re one of the most helpful MMO communities out there. I’m talking about things that are very charged, loaded topics handled poorly, and furthermore when someone points that out and asks people to stop, the person doing the asking gets attacked as well.

The thing is…people are dumb and easily offended sometimes, and anyone can be offended by anything. Some things offend me, but I realize they only really offend me so I dont make a big deal about it. I just hate censorship. Were it up to me, there would be no kitten, but the actual swears. Just when people start attacking eachother is when its an issue, but you can attack someone without swearing too.
Ive gotten into discussions in map chat that some people did not like. Not because they were offensive, they just did not like talking about it, but should that mean we are to not talk? I’d rather encourage people talking more. GW2 is quiet enough as it is.
