Perm bans for chat violations are stupid.

Having a 10 year old account with atleast 300$ on it permanently banned/closed for “abusive chat” is genuinely a stupid punishment. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that some things said may have been “toxic”, but even after warnings, a permanent account closure because I said “fuck off” to someone who was, themself, being obnoxious in game is a really overdone and excessive punishment.

A permanent mute would be more fitting, that way people still play and don’t lose their insane amount of cosmetics. Instead, you can have your account closed because you had a minor violation once a year for 4 years.

I might be completely wrong, but having my account closed and deleted permanently because I said “fuck off” or “you’re bad” to a shit talker once every 8 months or so is a really dumb reason to close an account. (Especially if the other person saying worse stuff is still allowed to play)

Again, I could be wrong or biased or whatever, but a permanent ban for chat violations just comes off as extremely petty. If someone absolutely can’t stop saying stuff in chat, they literally threaten a perma mute. But they never get to that point and just outright close the account.
