1. Mute your mic. 2. Mute teammates when they show ANY signs of toxicity, tilting, *-hattery, etc. I don't know how, but find a way.3. Do NOT respond via voice or keyboard. Especially do not respond with slurs, insults, or queries about the same as that triggers the algorithm and then your ban.Here's the deal: EA outsources moderation to a company overseas whose employees do not read reports for context or meaning. All that matters is that you triggered the algorithm. So if you ask "why did you call me a ****?" that will trigger it. And out of caution, they will ban you for a day/week/month/permanently.Oh, they got it wrong? THEY DON'T CARE. It's a free game. They don't need you. You triggered the algorithm, and they don't have time to draw out your deeper meaning. This isn't Shakespeare.Be civil or be silent, and if your teammates rage at you, mute!

@Xubunnytwo Smart ones already do.Other than a few runs with @reconzero I never have voice even ON in this game (set incoming voice chat to zero and never have to remember to mute squad again) and only use text chat for the most basic of things I can't do thru pings (where BH go? disconnect? AFK? etc).If I am going to play a multiplayer game with other people (which is really only GW2 these days) it's all Discord all the Time so we are not at the mercy of their 'moderators'.

@NatusM Settings > Audio > Disable voice chat ^ This may be outdated, I do not have a PC to check with. Here's another option: Settings > Audio > Incoming voice chat volume > 0%

It is. I just go to the squad screen and hit then "mute player" button. Also, from the very beginning of legend selection, a single button press for "mute squad" is also present. Good luck out there bud! I appreciate your creation of this topic. I have a small repertoire of text chats I will use (I am on console, so it takes a lot longer and more effort to type.) GG TY NJ GJ Nice about sums it up. My response to toxic players is to report, then mute or simply leave the match, if it is pubs. They don't deserve team mates - they can go it alone, and I can go to the next game. I'm not interested in trying to "make it work" with someone I can't trust.

Just had two teammates, in rank, watch my banner expire all the while looting boxes. “we don’t need a third”had to resist the urge.

@hayhor Happened first fight off the drop, teammate clutched the 2 vs 1, rez'd his buddy, watched me bleed out, loot, and only then did I open my mic to ask why....They actually finished 3rd, and before backing out, he goes 'if only we had a third'. This is in Plat 1, never seen such a toxic duo, it is what it is.

I always avoid EA by simply replying to people post game on PSN.

@Gabrielmojo26 That's awful. Hope they died soon after.

@NatusM Muting toxic and weird random teammates is just a good idea overall. Why listen to that garbage if you don't have to? Not like their comms are gonna help you anyways.

@Gabrielmojo26 good for you. I also stick around and reap the reward of their hard work, if they don't revive me. I get survival XP and if they win championship ... so do I. I think it is odd when I am playing with others who drop as soon as they deathbox.

@Xubunnytwo It was a rough gaming session last night, wasn't losing another 50rp just because of their big egos, but I'll admit, the 3rd place was bitter sweet, really wanted them to die early on lol.

Good advice, might as well shut down this community since there's no point.

@Gabrielmojo26 I don't play ranked, but if I did, and still got points for placement, I would thank them for the free points: "Thanks for the points, lads. Had to hit the can. I guess you were still useful afterall."

I had the ultimate baiter last night in winter express. He would run in, insta die and then type swearing and hate messages in the text chat about how bad me and the other guy were. I only stuck around so I could report the guy. The guy was clearly baiting to try and get a reaction to report. Our other random at the end told the guy it was the worst baiting he's ever seen.
