Since I feel personally pointed at when someone mentions aces flying in group;
Implying speaking english gives you an advantage in an english-only server is retarded.
If anyone feels their poor english puts them at a disadvantage then they need to get better at it. It's no different than saying you're not good at first person shooting so the game should change to turn based strategy. Play a different game if you want the game to be different at a basic level.
One gets a headache by just reading this nonsense.
Furthermore, players like to play with their friends, and people usually attract people like themselves.

In a game where there are death cooldown timers, the server is not PvP-dedicated and people have the ability to not only be completely invisible but also 1shot enemies without a realistic counter measure provided someone is distracted, typing before engaging is in fact a necessity.
And this is not just snub vs cap scenario. Snubs can almost instantly kill eachother provided all their guns and/or fighting ordinance lands simultaneously, and the same can be said for caps: even if battleship vs battleship one doesn't just "die instantly", you're still as good as dead. More than once I've been distracted and not afk and have still died because I was typing, doing a mission or listening to music as I play. ( @Tachyon ).
Whether certain systems should be considered arenas where anyone can engage anyone without roleplay as long as their ID allows them to do so is up to debate, but as a rule of thumb, it is not, given the focus of the server and the mechanics that exist.
