So, a user that shall remain somewhat anonymous has been making numerous group chats named "TooManyPh/Indo" or "Indo/Ph=Uninstall" and spending time in Sofya, where there is quite a large amount of the indo/ph community and telling them they shouldn't play a game that's set in English because these people can't speak or understand it well - which, as harsh as it is, I see why they claim their logic is flawed. I certainly wouldn't play a game in a language I didn't know well. But, if possible, could we do something about this? Or do we just have to accept that there is a person spending 3-4 hours of their day telling Ph/Indo/Br people to not play because this person can't understand why they play a game in a language they don't understand.

Pretty sure English Iruna is 99.95% PH/INDO/other places that are not native English.
It's not reallt racism if it's done by the minority. Lol.

Racism is racism, "lol" regardless of the size of the community saying such.

The point is, they don't understand what he is saying. But in reality, it shouldn't really affect a thing. He's just one guy wasting his time. It's a 1 versus 10000 thing, and that one guy isn't going to do much. Of course, there are more than one persons being racist and the hate spreads both ways. If you feel you really need to do something about it, just report him. |

haha well its their choice -- i rarely see such things as sell item --ph only ...but mostly sell item -- indo only
dont want to shoot at anyone since i as a PH player also enjoys the company of a few indo player friends -- heck on fb i got more indo/br friends than Ph --well most of them i dont even know since i just accept the friend invites i received -- but the few who talk to me is not that rude --well at first theyll ask me if im also indo .well partially cause of my fb name xD --
but anyhow -- haters go hate and i wont even give PIE if they wont sell me things just because im PH --
-----------heck when i first started this game 2 years ago i didnt even know anyone from ph aside from my irl friend who introduced me this game --------- and then 1 yr passes and wow i can meet ph players right and left --like wow and theres only 2 of us from my region who knows this game xD----------oh right my first in game friend --who also adopted me and raised me till i can stand on my own two feet is an INDO player-- which aside from a bit of pervertedness is a great person

I often see people who hate on the indo and ph community.
As a ph player, I don't really mind. Also, a lot of ph players can actually speak very good english. I've met many ph players as well who can use english well. Here in the Philippines, almost everyone speaks at least understandable english anyway (some might not be used to it). I've also joined parties with indo players who can speak good english. Though some ph players shout out filipino insults in say chat so I feel like they make a bad image. I usually just speak english when playing iruna since that's what most people understand and I want to have fun with the majority.
English is just the most used language but nobody should be forced to speak it even in the english server. It's like telling english speaking people to stop playing JP iruna because they don't speak japanese as their main language.
If someone wastes 3-4 hours just telling indo and ph to stop playing, that's pitiful. Most players wont quit just because they were told to stop playing because their english was bad. The 0.0001% might actually quit because of these racist people.

I tried to start a similar thread a few months ago and I am grateful for the responses I received.
I learned it is not a matter of racism yet cultural differences and language barriers. The want to surround yourself with players who are similar is human behavior.
Wanting every player to use English language 100% of the time is no different than those who only party/guild/raid or trade with the other PH/indo players.

..but any sort of hate or bullying racial or otherwise I think we all know is completely unacceptable.

Since i have this indo kohai who asks about things in iruna but since he is not a good english speaker, im having a really hard time but he is thankful that i was helping him. So i think, if some doesnt speak english that well, they may have a really hard time selling items/haggle or learning something if not from their native language. |

Right, we hear it as " pfffttt I'm not gonna sell this to you you English speaking pig" when they mean "sorry I can't risk being duped"
Some people seem really rude to me and then I was like.. it's probably easy to come off as rude unintentionally if you don't know some words have negitive sounding meanings, like molest means annoy but we don't use it that way, soliciting by definition isn't always linked to the naughty naughty but writing that the girl scouts solicited a principal in a fith grader's essay isn't a good idea. Mom.

And I don't think Indos are racist, any time you join a pt or group everyone speaks Indo, so everyone gets upset cuz we'd like to talk to people when we do social stuff, so people say mean stuff to Indos and pH and maylays so it's sorta easy to see why people act the way they do, there's just no real need for pollution in fourms and stuff like that
