How many rude, foulmouthed, randomly spiteful narcissists do you think the average user is going to take the time to mute before they just get disgusted and turn the whole thing off permanently? Over time, this would lead to a situation in which the majority of people who would still have prox chat on would be the ones randomly screaming abuse and bad pickup lines at each other.
At which point [b]new players[/b] would fire up the game and walk into an established culture, wherein the people who might be worth making friends with will ignore them by default, and the immature jerks will feel free to say anything to anyone, because they know they can get away with it. That'd be a great way to keep new players coming back, right? A whole gaming ecosystem full of willfully isolated pleasant folks, liberally sprinkled with loud, random, vicious, childish trolls:
[i] "Welcome to the tower for the first time, Guardian, this is where you'll... [b]nice tits bitch get rekt noob mom bring me a coke turn that goddamn music down join my clan join my clan join my clan huntard i did my chores 1v1 me bro i just teabagged you learn2mute fggt pools closed gottamic gottamic gottamic -blam!- you then scrub xbox off[/b]"[/i] So much for that teen rating, I guess.
Sort of like having #destiny right in your ear on blast while you try to play the game, only worse, because the people who are actually worth talking to can't even hear you.
If you want to think about this issue in terms of game experience, ask yourself which is more important: One individual or another getting feature X, or the in-game experience being a non-hostile one for all new players as months and years go by?

Good point, but I still want it. Right now there's nothing social about the game. Maybe it should just simply include a "general mute list" that automatically mutes the players for everyone who are muted by X number of people?

由aboniks编辑： 8/19/2014 5:24:42 PMI can dig it. I think there's a terminology issue at work here though. When Bungie says social, people don't use the word the same way they do, it means something different to everybody. Much like the term "competitive". I found the experience to be quite social. I didn't have any friends playing the beta, so I ran strikes with matching and we made a fireteam at the start of devils lair a couple times. I had random people in the crucible send me fireteam requests. I cam to the forum, talked, got invited to a private forum, joined a couple clans, met some interesting people, got into a conversation about proximity chat, etc. I think once we have more time to play around in the world, the social structures and groups are going to evolve at whatever pace the players choose to create them. Bungie gave us the basic ability to form a group and talk. Who we talk to is up to us, at that point. They're trying to encourage the community to develop external structures akin to those you'd find in traditional mmos, and it's already happening. [quote]"We want to make sure your level of social engagement in Destiny is something that you have complete and total control over," he explained. "We want you to make very deliberate decisions about the people you're going to have on your team, and the voices that you welcome into your audio mix." ~[url=http://www.gamertagradio.com/new/2014/07/episode-441-interview-to-david-deej-dague-from-bungie-about-destiny/]Deej[/url][/quote] Prox chat is the antithesis of deliberate decision making. Just my 2 glims worth. Not saying you shouldn't want it.

You know what you sound like. You sound like the guy who logs into an MMO. See's a bunch of people having fun in the Chat Channels.. And you come in with nothing interesting to add, except to try to tell them to shutup, insult them, etc. You're the guy that is jealous that people actually have stupid or interesting things to say to each other, and you don't.

Actually, I sound like the guy who logs into an mmo and permanently quits all the chat channels other than his guild chat, because the global chat is perpetually full of incoherent raving gibberish, spam, l337haxxors, recruiting, WTSWTB, cazhazgoldzplz, ihazgoldz, ASL, and derps. If my standards offend you, feel free to mute me. That's your proposed solution for everybody else, right?
