Chat System Anomalies - Disecting the flaws.

Possibly, but after re-reading the posts I think I pretty much did get the gist of it.

Regardless, it is far from perfect, for 8-12 year old children, or anyone.

Well if you mean flawless, then yes, it is far from perfect. Hope you aren't expecting anything near flawless from Disney's POTCO product lol...

You specifically stated you never have "much trouble" working around the system, yet you don't use the speed chat (supposedly that you say that Disney says is the target audience of ONE survey commissioned by a new and clearly misguided team) that you also claim to be perfect, despite routinely not using it (perhaps never?)

I don't use Speed Chat? Wrong. I routinely don't use it? Wrong again! You really have no idea how I communicate in-game. I will say that my in-game communication style and technique varies and is situation dependent.

And yes, you would be shocked to learn...

Hello? Still not shocked and won't be. Not sure why you would assume how I would/should/will react. Let me restate and expound on a few things: I know chat is messed up. I knew it before you started this thread. Learned it all by my lonesome and confirmed it with the help of some friends. Wasn't at all shocked or surprised when I figured out that there is no notification for filtered chat in certain situations. Pretty much what I have come to expect from Disney's POTCO product. I do find it mildly surprising that you would argue with me on what my reaction would be, especially since I specifically stated that I was not shocked lol...

Just so I make myself clear: I am not shocked in the least that any part of POTCO is glitchy, buggy, incomplete or lacking. To be honest, I am no longer even disappointed. If I want quality product I look elsewhere. Which is sad in itself for I truly did love this game. Disney fails not so much for these particular chat anomalies, but rather because this is how it goes with POTCO development: updates are put out without being fully tested; updates are put out with known bugs previously reported by Test server players; things are made to work but never truly fixed; playability, balance and/or fun often suffer as the present team of developers attempt to meet whatever production goals have been set by the game's producers or their bosses at WDIG. I see POTCO as nothing more than a product, where once I thought it truly had a chance at being a contender as a great MMO.

Edward didn't say the chat system was flawless. If it was flawless, we wouldn't be typing things about this right now.

Also, it would make communicating a lot easier if Edward knew what chat system you had. I have Speechat, although it's basically Open chat, which still hasn't been released yet.

I can type anything I want to, although most curse words and words that may be considered real threats get through.

And if this is a family game, why can I still say hell anytime I want to and not get a warning email? I don't use the word often, but it's annoying seeing others abuse the word.
