Tropical Thunder has chat-muted me again. That makes 14 times in a row over the last four tours.
Why does it continue? Because they have the numbers to do it, and at this point they appear to be counting on there being no intervention from Dale.
The chat-report option is there for a reason. It is not there to be weaponized against another player because you don’t like him, you’re frustrated with him, or he outplays you.
So here’s my message to Tropical Thunder: you can chat-mute me all you want. I’ll still outplay you. Repeatedly abusing an in-game feature to silence another player says far more about your squadron than it does about me.
Every time this happens, I email Dale and ask him to review the communications and determine whether I actually did anything that warranted the mute. So far, nothing has changed.
Fourteen consecutive times. Four tours.
At some point, this needs to be addressed. When players can repeatedly weaponize a game feature against someone simply because they have enough numbers to do it, that hurts the game and the community.
That is the kind of behavior that is killing the sim.
