Community, spirit, friendship… and this:
It also doesn’t help that the devs lied about the whole affair and suspended the forum guys who finally confessed about it.

Its funny because people said this would happen from the get go and people said “no it wont” over and over again.

This is funny, and how long does it take them to unban someone wrongly banned?
And do they actually do that?
Well, the same thing can happen in WoW with silencing.

Tbf that is not toxicity tho, that’s an abuse of the system and a failure from the developer side.
A game based of guild clashing should never ever have an automated ban system.

and character names. I have a 1 second ban on my record due to a falsely reported character name and my name wasn’t bad but someone else took it and they wouldn’t give it back to me.

I mean it’s kind of obvious, but the game companies keep trying to cut expenses for GMs.

How is that any different from falsely mass flagging people on the forums and giving them 3-31 day ban?
+ New world is a pvp game, pvp always brings out the most toxicity

Forum bans are(arguably) handled by mods after reviewing the post. The only automatic part is that it’s hidden.

Flags dont cause banns. All bans are handed out manually. Whether that bann is justfied or not is another question. Also bans can easily stack up to several months.

toxicity was insane back in the day.
when most computers werent able to run a screen with alot of data on it, people used to rain magic. fire ball, blizzard and whatever else you can imaginen just to screw up with people until they crash or leave because of frustration.
i sometimes hanged with friends in chat rooms trolling everyone.
prank calls.
messing with cars.
shooting with airgun at people.
throwing rocks at little kids.
etc…
i remember as a little boy, we were scared to go to the playground because the big kids kicked soccer balls at us. !
WoW did it first!
they were all trained in wow, raised by the fret culture lords
