And so long as nothing from the founders pack is ever re-released, virtue is upheld rather than signalled.

Nobody has to resort to the lowest denominator just because it's profitable and 'everybody else does it, you'll see', and they can still make a profit without screwing anyone, and doing the right thing should be good for business and deserves publicity; as there are a lot of people loyal to WF because DE have actually listened to their players, and there's a lot of WF players that support the good work they do by being one of the most helpful communities around.

DE fostered that positive environment through the way they designed the game and by being receptive and kind to their community, as well as setting a lot of boundaries to ensure everyone is safe and doesn't have a bad time (by design and interaction).

Since Warframe entered a more mainstream spotlight, I have noticed a higher level of toxicity permeating in region chats ; I don't get how region chat could obsess DAILY for what seems to be hours - the desire to make sexual references about a warframe that doesn't look like it has reached adulthood yet, or spend a similar amount of time race-bashing particular people who don't represent strongly in a particular region, that and of course now the ingress of homophobia and transphobia pops up frequently as if people jump onto WF just to express their hatred - nothing good comes out of either of these things; but more and more people are starting to expect it and take it as normal, and hardly any push-back is seen against these things any more, as if those things are better than what could be assumed as 'virtue signalling' and calling them out.

I swear there was once a time where region chat tended to be 90% more: someone needs help, and people would answer, people would have a good chat over anything WF and not, dotted by the occasional newbies request for free platinum that quickly falls flat :P

When did a desire to help and do good become an issue? When someone says they'll do something good, we should hold them to it rather than tell them we've pegged them with an expectation that they won't follow through, or that it's a standard they won't maintain.

Ugh, anyway, ranty I know; but I'm left wondering if someone is going to take issue with me wanting something to get better?
