The Toxicity in this Game is unreal.
Pretty sure everyone has experienced this at some point. I just came on to play a few games, and the amoutn of toxicity in ppl was actually disturbing. The targeting, the taunting, the relentless eff...

@Shadowphinx101 Agree. Seems to be a new level of toxicity across games in general - it's a cowardly way of bullying / enraging people that probably wouldn't be done in a face-to-face situation.
I've found it interesting that during my time in the forum that most of the xp I get from non-regular forum members or one-off visitors has been on comments I've made about expressions & emotes being used in a toxic manner.
I like the speech options but I've said before, some of them should quite simply be removed.
On Xbox, I can block someone from messaging me, I can mute either individual players or the entire lobby. I can put myself in a private party to start with & I can report players..... NONE of that works with the expressions & emotes. You can't suppress them in any way, nor can you even report them easily because they are using an ambiguous but legitimate form of in-game communication.
On their own, you can shrug them off, but accompanied by spawn-camping, targeting etc, they make both Giddy Park & PvP horrible at times - and I'm speaking as an adult.
I know many enjoy using these things & there will be some who genuinely think it's just a bit of fun that doesn't bother anyone, but it's an awful way of behaving that is all too easy to do & get away with in BFN.
I think the devs need to find ways of making this kind of thing harder to do in the first place.

The devs can mitigate this issue by giving players the ability to turn off individual emotes & expressions so that they won't show up on your screen and allow them to pop up under certain circumstances (e.g. if you're in a group/party in BFN).
I use it to bully the bullys mostly but I do love the taunts. Praise dummy is epic.
