My English isn't excellent so I will use google translate. Sorry in advance for the mistakes :)
I play on European servers where a lot of people with different languages meet in-game.
When I enter the game the first thing I look at is if my allies have voice chat enabled and I always say "hi".
But often I don't have an answer.
A lot of my friends also don't respond when someone tries to communicate in voice chat in their game.
For me the game is easier with voice chat, so I asked them why they weren't using it.
The main reason they gave me was that other players made fun of them when they tried to speak English.
Yesterday I experienced this situation for the first time.
I tried to give information and made a mistake. Two other players spent the next four rounds laughing at me for my mistake (the two remaining players never spoke during the game).
My English is not excellent and I quickly corrected myself.
But I didn't understand why it was necessary to make fun of someone who tries to speak a foreign language that he doesn't use every day.
So my question is: how do you react to this kind of thing?
I have also noticed that 80% of the time the comments about English come from people who don't have English as their mother tongue.
