But why not /r for rank?

/notsigned

Honestly, if you play an online game and have a typing speed of anything less then ~40 words per miniute, you will have a hard time communicating anyway. It shouldn't take that long to type /resign. Besides, touch typing is an important skill to learn anyway in the buisness world today, so I figure people need as much pratice as they can get.

Nah, too easy to mess up, and /resign isn't something you want to type accidentally.

Maybe it could be handy if you're looking for a Survivor title (as I guess you are), but I don't think it would make a notable difference in any other case.

When you start RA (I suppose that is why you want to shorten /resign), just copy /resign before going. Then paste by Ctrl-Ving it in the chat window every time you need. End of story.

It would be far too easy to mess this up, it happens quite regularly that I type /*some random character* and I seriously dont want to be resigned when I didnt want it to. So -> /notsigned

Aye I can see it now...

"for god sake, type /r so we can start again..."

"why, what does r mean?"

*bangs head off desk*

...there is a reason why its /resign and not /r. If I was a newbie player and someone told me to type /r id get a bit suspicious.

/resign means something. Besides can you not spell?

Keep it on-topic, people. No needless accusations or baseless presumptions. Discuss why you are for or against the idea, or just don't post in the thread.

/r brings up more problems than the convenience it provides. Plus, learning how to type/spell is a pretty useful thing to know...

how about they change the shortcut of /resign and /rank to /re and /r ^^ /re for /resign and /r for /rank this isnt necessary but it would certainly be helpful in some cases ^^~

More likely than not, A-Net will assign /r to "/report" to make it even easier for idiots to report whoever and whatever they like for such petty reasons as disliking the colour of someone's shoes.

Resign?

Just type the damned word. Are an extra 5 letters going to kill you?

See above comments for why this is an epic fail idea.
