The ez guys aren’t toxic, i think most cases it’s people joking around at how ineffective they were compared to their team. Its like going for a layup in basketball, tripping over your feet, smashing your head on the court while having the ball fly sideways bouncing of a chair that’s out of bounds which by chance then goes into the ring. If that guy got up and said ez you know he meant he completely messed up in a spectacular way and the ball going in had nothing to do with his own ability. The few people that do it on purpose…meh…it’s not even a big deal, those sorts of players(and “toxic” people in general) only gain traction when they get responses, they crave response. It’s just the same as blatent hacks, they CRAVE attention, if you just pretend they don’t exist in chat the whole experience becomes less satisfying for them. I honestly don’t see how people fall for it, i can’t be the only person who sees trolls as so insignificant it’s not worth the time to reply can i? ---

Yeah I don’t support domestic terrorists so I must be some other buzzword. Meanwhile the damage Antifa did to their own movement was so bad they had to disavow themselves as an organization and all their other forms of pathetic goal post moving damage control. But yeah let’s blame the people who haven’t done anything instead of the people openly advocating for racial violence and actually acting on it. ---

Pretty harsh don’t you think? I’ve been called many things by toxic players on this game, but EZ after a loss just doesn’t get under my skin. I genuinely think that I should at least be able to chose to not see any chat from the people who try to get under others skin while still being able to see chat from those who at least try to say something useful/fun. .

Are you like in that real life too? When people say things to you out of jest, you dwell on it for days? If you need to selectively censor things that you don’t want to hear because you’re afraid your feelings will be hurt, then I got bad news for you. It ain’t like that in real life. I don’t condone hate speech but you sound like you need to grow a pair, no offense but just being honest. If you’re getting offended over two alphabets “ez”, then you’re gonna have real problem facing the outside world. ---

People who jest in real life are prepared for the consequences if it is received wrong. So they do not act that way without damaging their reputation or worse. Also I tend to not associate with irreverent people irl . That behavior in the chat is a result of a lack of consequences in an anonymous lobby. . I strive to treat others like I expect them to treat me. Is it wrong to hold others to the same standards? ---

Yeah let’s endorse doxing because there isn’t such a thing as free speech anymore, only approved groupthink. The second they started claiming racism is a one-way street they lost all credibility and yet here they still are trying to force their dogma into every aspect of life. I really hope the Supreme Court decides that ToS that are basically written to remove consumer rights are factually unconstitutional. ---

I really hope the Supreme Court decides that ToS that are basically written to remove consumer rights are factually unconstitutional. Actually there was a precedent court case about ToS where it was ruled that the defendant was not bound by them cause ToS do not give you a real option because you are forced to accept them. . There is also an ingenius South Park episode about ToS, called The HumanCentipad ---

Everything I’ve heard from other players is that generally, EA doesn’t really seem to do anything about cheaters etc. I play most recent games on PS4, where things are better, though Ive encountered some things in my time. Mostly not in EA games, though I’ve had both players abusing bugs (like purposefully duplicating Heroes during a game of Heroes vs Villains in Battlefront 2, I think that’s the most recent example I can think of), and I’ve been sent some rude messages in the past while playing multiplayer in EA games alone and idek why because I’m far from the best player in the world. It was nothing compared with my first attempt to try Grand Theft Auto, but things still happened. I think this step, assuming it’s more than words and actually represents a change in policy for EA, will be a good thing. Both in-game and out, there are players I’ve encountered that I would personally consider to be toxic and overall bad for the game and the community. I think in a game like this especially, emotions run high - especially anger and frustration and I can see it leading to a very toxic atmosphere. I think a general, simple guideline like “treat others as you would want to be treated” as good for everyone… except masochists, but I guess that’s not really the point. So yup, I support this. I hope this will be a good change. ---

> [@Hawxxeye](#): > > Does that mean that the plague that is “ez” or “easy” sayers will finally be wiped off the game? We can only hope. I doubt it, though. I’m torn on this - I think it’s a good thing to attempt to do, but I’m skeptical on EA’s ability to do it, as they can’t even control cheating and bigoted behavior now. Even the waste of time chat filter, people are able to get around it easily with misspelling or with using a ! or something before the word they want to use. So - while I’m hopeful - it’s the kind of hope I have that the Seattle Mariners will ever win the pennant. I’m a die hard fan of the Mariners, but man - they stink most years.
