Have you considered, hear me out, that some players just hate playing with other players, because being insulted breaks immersion?
All the other micro transaction fuckery you do on top just makes it yet more unappealing.
It's an issue in US and EU servers. The Deadlock community in particular rn is upset with voip racism and general chat harassment.
Really disappointing to be a gamer sometimes but weirdly enough the Asian servers are very chill for most games. Tf2, cs2, Deadlock - very little flaming or racism just people calling each other "noobs" at times. If you have any ability and ping is reasonable give Asian servers a shot.
Thanks, but I'm a single player kind of person.
I find it weird that people prefer staying home to avoid talking to strangers, only to jump into MMOs with a crowd of abusing strangers.
Gamers are the biggest reason for the decline of the games industry. Entitled half-aware idiots demanding features that give them bigger and bigger hits of dopamine have driven the entire industry into the ground. The celebration of toxicity in the community hasn't helped a damn thing, either.
