I think this is a kind of touchy subject but I really do want to be the devil’s advocate on this one.
I don’t think being straight up racist is ever really a good solution but if there are so many Brazilians causing problems with the english speaking people this server was designed for, then it does cause problems.
I’m actually all for international play-ability so if I wanted I could play in EU despite being NA with a friend or someone in Australia but I think part of it is that there are SO MANY south americans to the point they should just have their own server or they will naturally overrun, take over and be just as racist back to the north americans.
Freedom of speech is kinda important even if some view it as “rude” and sadly language barriers and prejudice on both sides DOES exist. Neither side wants to deal with being overrun by people who won’t party with them, or even really be able to communicate with them in a social game.
I think if Brazil loves tree of savior or other mmorpgs to the point it causes this huge of a divide we should give them their own servers to play on. Give them to the freedom to still play outside their home server, but don’t complain when people tell you to ■■■■ off for speaking anything but english.
In the same regard they should be able to do the same to us if we play on a BR intended server. It’s better than having horrible server lag just to mesh everyone together and try to force people to get along when we clearly won’t.
Take away people’s reason to dislike a minority and I promise it’ll be a less toxic environment for everyone. The truth is gamers aren’t racist, we’re just selfish assholes - We don’t care what colour skin you are, we just care when you’re taking our bandwidth and causing problems towards our experience online really. If it wasn’t BRs we’d b itch about peruvians or russians or chinese anyway, and it’s not because we’re all xenophobes - in fact many of us will likely be hypocrites and visit those countries at some point loving the trip.
I know it costs money to maintain and run servers but if there is demand to this extent it’s always better to shell out to pay it, you’ll just end up with more customers in the end from both sides.
