It’s a happy-go-lucky, historically inaccurate medieval competitive combat game, honestly what where those people expecting? What was the author expecting?
Honestly, I wholeheartly support this kind of dev thinking. I am so sick of the easily offended and this constant, oh-so-important indignation which grew ridicuously popular in the past few years.
As if people would behave differently in competitive real life scenarios like f.e. a soccer game. Those wimps gotta learn how to handle people, or at least how to disable the ingame-voicechat.
