This thread/post is an indication on an overlooked problem.
Situations like these happen in 70% of russian parties I get into through matchmaking. They are not clan-related, neither really ingame class-related, neither time of the day related.
I talk in English - it's all ginored until some1 is focused on talking something to me, which I can't trigger by talking in English.
I say on party chat "ja ne gavarit pa ruski, ja tebia ne panimaju', 10 minutes later whole party talks to me in Russian.
I put myself a title "ja ne gavarit" and players around request from me to talk to them in Russian and understand them in Russian, even after I talk in English or any other language.
I say in party "leader, Overlord or Dominator = AoE root = no need for healing" - ignored. 20 minutes later party dies. 5 minutes later another spellsinger invited to party. 10 minutes later party dies. Leader still ignoring overlord request. I say "invite overlord/dominator or I leave" and 4 minutes later a dominator is in party.
I use all caps, I insult them and they use perfect English, talk to me, understand and do what I ask them to do.
What the ****? Why can't they just communicate like normal people, if they can?
Can anyone explain to me why this happens and how to solve this issue without learning Russian language, on which they all seem to insist without accepting, that other people have their own languages and could insist on using them too, just like they do, which they don't seem to understand?
[edit]
I have also just been a target of xenophobic harrassment for not speaking Russian: in laba 78 on last % of HP boss started using magic and got 2 m crits on AoE around hhim, so all DDs and bd+sws died. I wasn't rezzed and the boss was finished. The party spoke English but only to harrass me.
