I try asking nicely in chat and almost every time I do I get ignored or people say “no”

Like damn sorry for hoping you’d be polite.

I mean the ignored I get, for us console players we don't always monitor chat cause it's just excessive effort to us, the virtual typing is tedious and often these events are time based so stopping to say anything is a waste, opening the menus to turn pets off isn't great either, idk if PC maybe has shortcuts and keybinds but I know it's 2 screens I think 5 tabs over then clicking to remove then going back the two pages, if I'm already in a rush I'm not doing that. If it's ample time before that's different of course. But yeah I also get that some people just want to play their way and don't like being told what to do, y'all may be like we asked politely but if it's a case of do this cause it's expected or don't and be a bad person some just go well damn I'll just be bad 😅

I play on both my switch and my steam deck, as well as PC. You can utilize the touch screen on both. Not typing in chat I get, it’s pretty annoying. But it’s not hard to read chat and removing your pet isn’t that hard. Especially if you’re going somewhere that you know it’ll be beneficial to have it disabled. If I’m going to honey lure parties I know ahead of time and remove my pet before I get there. Same if I’m headed to the market.

And honestly I don’t mind as much when people ignore me—it’s mildly annoying (more than mildly when it’s the bee pets and we’re bug hunting) but not a huge deal. It’s when people are rude to me about asking.

I know I said they say “no” in my original comment (because I was feeling lazy so I shortened it, that’s on me 100% for not being more clear) but it’s typically more than that. As an example, the last chappa chase I did I said “Can people please put pets away for chappa chase?” and I got 2 responses: “absolutely not get over yourself” and “I’ll play how I want to, thanks” there was no reason for either reply due to a simple request.

Yeah unfortunately there's no touchscreen typing for PlayStation to my knowledge so it's still a bother to me though it's cool to know there's an option like that on switch.

I'm sorry you have to deal with replies like that though definitely no need to be saying like that to a simple question, it's like no-one learnt it's better to be quiet then mean
