If you've played any online game ever, chances are you've run into some form of toxicity. From BM, to name calling to the old classic teabagging, meanness and vitriol in games comes in a variety of forms. For years game developers have tried to fix this problem to... mixed results - what gives?

It turns out, video game toxicity is less of a systems problem and more of a communication problem - by removing barriers to effective communication, and rewarding people for not being dicks, we can go some way to fixing this eternal gaming problem.

The Architect is going to need to drop into the outlands, take a stroll around Azeroth and journey to the top of one of gaming's best mountains - all to learn the best ways to be nice... or something.
