Ok, I and I'm sure a bunch of other people get annoyed by the constant spamming of guild recruiters, with those long messages full of details making it difficult to read general conversations. It would be nice if a Guild Recruitment channel was added, and people that aren't actually interested in looking for a guild can turn the channel off.

Good idea?

It would be like the trade channel : some (if not all) would still post in the Local Chat channel. Also, the Local Chat channel is dead most of the time...well except in the big towns because it's full of WTS/WTB and guilds advertising.

You already have the option to just turn off local chat...anyway, guild recruiters are only a small part of the annoyance being local chat.

You should blank out their names unless you've gotten permission, in which case, I'm guessing you should note in your post.

+, not signed, many people would just go into local chat, just like people do in trade chat, and sometimes you wanna see it anyways, just to help them out with spelling/grammar or w/e

I tend to lurk in int districts to get what I need done. Less spam, and some actual chat sometimes.

Plus I doubt the air thieves would use it. They would continue to spam because nothing is more important than the lame ass guild they are recruiting for.

this would take out 9/10ths of the invites, and someone might miss an opportunity to join a great new guild that they weren't really looking for, all because they had their chats off.
OH I GOT AN IDEA!! make an idiot only chat, and a:
-cyber chat and
-a racism chat
-a "lets talk about religion" chat!!! (3 hour sermons in ra ftl)
-lolcat chat
-fail chat
-echo mending chat
-bill gates chat
-presidential election chat
-anything else chat

btw you shouldn't screenie their names in like that, thats pretty uncool.

No reason to be such a douche bag about it. He just was saying it would be a lot better if they could sort out all of the spamming about guilds so that if someone actually wanted to find a guild they could get one without being pressured all the time.

You were being a smart ass and that is something everyone looks down on. I know i used to be one. What you said was uncalled for unnecessary.

That's not being a smart ass, that's making me laugh xD. Anyway, he is a little right : you can't suggest a chat for every subject... a while ago someone wanted a Runner Chat and soon someone will want a PvP Chat...

This doesn't warrant its own tab. It may contribute to the crap on local chat but if you noticed, 99% of what's on local chat is crap.

Everyone in the game and on this forum is a smart ass to some degree. So I would say people look "up" to it. People mistake being cool with being jerks.

/notsigned. People simply wouldn't use it, and there's no specific set of characters (i.e. LFP, WTB, WTS) that could be used to filter it.

/signed,

I am annoyed by spamming guild leaders and their spamming guild leader's minions, No one is looking, if any player seriously wanted to join a guild they should go look at a guild roster found with the guild registra. go thru a list of guilds, pay 50g to the guild registra to add their names in the guild recruitment roster, guild leader will then send pm to these players for sort of an interview/talk to see if they want to recruit them.

hooray to the end of spam!

To expand the OPs idea, how about a general "Announce" channel, to cover all guild and event related stuff?

ANet could use it to put out notifications when stuff like festival finales are about to occur (i.e. Mad King Thorn is arriving in Lions Arch in 5 minutes... etc).

Hell they could put all the player/title stuff there, too, so I don't have to keep hearing that player x has achieved Legendary Grind Monkey or won some PvP game I don't care about.
