Well, it is true chat is down. I don't know but since PrimeDice4 was released these small issues (auto betting problems, blurred descriptions, chat down) are getting more and more annoying.
I can't remember times in the past when Chat chat was down. Also just by reading PD's thread I see there are many people with pending support tickets.
Then you haven't been around that long on pd3, I remember the chat and the whole site being down at lot. When I joined PD (february 2015) i wasn't even playing the first months just because it kept being stuck on the loading page most of the days, because PD is a super slow loading site. Except the autobetting, when the site was working it worked way better then pd4.
I was hoping with the coming of pd4 all that kind of problems would had been fixed. It didn't became worst but it also didn't improved.
For the pending support tickets there is a simple solution, just let people email to a normal email address if Micro can't work with a support management system, or change the system.
