@Anarchy-Marine said in Give veteran players the ability to silence bots.:
@Thrashinuva There would be room for abuse of an option like that. There are already players in this game, that seem to have some very disturbing views on freedom of speech and expression. Say you had someone getting offended by an avatar, symbol art, or word choices in game. Instead of single use, manual blocking options like we have, you would have those who share the same views actively trying to get the person who offended them mass reported and auto blocked by everyone, the same way bots would be.
Yes, it would help stem the bot problem, but it would open up a Pandora's box of sorts, in regards to hate filled people, that want full control over the atmosphere of the game. People that think their games should be safe spaces, when it's an online experience, and is used by people from many walks of life, and that carry different values and beliefs. It would be like Twitter in game, as you would give the average user far too much control.
I think you unintentionally made a case in supporting this feature.
I'm down with squashing bigots.
