I completely agree with you. I refuse to use the FF chat due to how rude and power hungry the ranks are. I'm sorry but if a new player asks a question about how to play don't just tell them to shut up or boot them, explain it to them. Makes me angry!
Whenever I'm on the FF world I purposely make sure to shout out combos in the public chat because one of their rules is to not shout out so "leechers" can't get combos. Anyway they always tell me not to shout them out. Great logic when I'm not even a part of their friends chat. So I make more of an effort to shout them out. Rebel!!!
