curious about others's experiences.
i've been in the game for a while. been active in alliance chat but haven't really used the global chat until yesterday.
in these 2 days, i got the following:
just by entering the chat and saying anything:
- people invite me to their alliance
- random people send me friend requests
alot
people send me friend request, i accepted immediately. they never said anything, or only said "hi" or similar, once.
people invite me to their alliance after i told them i already am in one
one guy sent me a friend request only to ask for my gender (at this time i have an avatar of the opposite gender, i can't help it

)
i assume he was a man (and had a punisher avatar. how manly...) , i am a man (and had a gwenpool avatar. how manly...) , told him i'm a man, he didn't ask anything else. sorry, i have a 4 star antman and i wanted to have him as my avatar but i'm missing a catalyst to rank him up. it's not my fault

one guy sent me a friend request to ask if i wanted to trade my other account for his secondary account (i never said anything about having another account, and no one in chat mentioned anything about anyone having multiple accounts, he just randomly added me and brought the subject out of nowhere. and yes, he literally started the conversation with "hey, want to trade your other account with mine" (something along those lines, i forgot the exact words) and for a good few seconds i was like wtf, and when i told him i only had this one account, the last thing he said is it didn't matter anymore because his second account was better than mine (man, if you're reading this, that was NOT cool

) )
people add me to ask me for help to recruit (yes, being aware i have an alliance, they ask me for help in recruiting for theirs)
sometimes i enter the chat, say anything, and someone randomly sends me a friend request. when i accept, some of them never say anything, others only say hi.
people add me to ask to merge my alliance with theirs
one time, i get a friend request. it's only one friend request. i immediately go to accept. i lift my finger and am about to tap the "accept" button. when my finger reaches the screen, i see i have accepted someone else. yes, they're so fast, by the time my finger reached the screen to accept someone's request, someone else managed to send another request in that fraction of a second.
whenever i enter the chat, almost all of the posts are people looking for an alliance, or people recruiting for their alliance.
when recruiting, some people just copypaste the same message over and over
most recruiters look for people to clear AQ map 5 (what about map 6? )
ocasionally i see people that are in an alliance, looking for an alliance to join
one time, someone added me and the first thing they say is "i know you're the leader of your group". (you know that feeling you get when someone has been watching/following/stalking you for a while? yeah)
for some reason no one has been capable of giving a proper answer whenever i ask how to get tier 2 alpha catalysts
my experiences visiting the global chat the past 24 hours. can't wait to see what other stories the future has in store for me
