A message every 10-20 minutes taking up one line isn't really spam.

Less spam? It's not even that frequent!

If seeing a message a few times an hour is annoying, I'm guessing you've never played one of those games where kiddies have access to mommy and daddy's credit card and a cash shop that sells the ability to plague every player that's logged in with trade spam and other bullshit until their credit limit is reached. Those messages are usually in an obnoxious color and can't be ignored since it's considered premium content. That is annoying.

I'm not usually the type to enter a thread and say QQ more... but um... QQ more.

Those messages could be annoying for some other reasons ( yay , team i left is holding ; yay , lucky guy we beat in uw holds all 1v1 fights , ... ) but apart of that , having 1 message every 12mn if not more isn't really a spam ..

It's not really noticeable, unless of course you are all alone in a town, with no one talking to you. So it's really not something important to implement.

If those messages bother you that much, then I couldn't even imagine what Monastery, LA, and Kamadan chat do to you. Must be overboard with all that spam. Hopefully you keep emotes off and don't notice the guy spamming dance sixty times in a row for some odd reason.

The messages barely show up and they aren't groundbreaking that they will ruin your game in any way, unless your chat box fills your entire screen.

I do wonder why anet never bothered to remove the messages after they made UW/Fow non HoH wins dependant . Before it was good to see HoH wins and how many wins an areas ( usa/euro/asian etc ) district needed but now its not really needed - especially in pve .

Honestly, who cares. It's one message every 10 minutes.

Being able to turn off green text in general wouldnt hurt. If I afk in guild hall i'd rather have lines of what guildys are sayin/pms not who was holding for the last 4 hours

Still nice to broadcast your guild's victory to the world.

I love reading the guild names some people come up with.

LOLWUT!? This thread can't possibly be real.... Go see a psychologist if something as small as this really bothers you.

not spam, unless it's every 5 seconds, and not likely there will be a match that short.

I think it's better to have an uncheck message option unless it's really important like updates and such.

Sure some team wins hall of heroes, BIG DEAL! I don't care enough to want to know about it.

Green text should have a mute button.

-X has won a battle in HoH.
-X gains a skill point!
-X has earned the title...
-X more achievements will earn favor..
-Message about earning favor
-Message about no longer having favor

Does all of that really need to be required reading?

Why choose to read it? You have eyes and hopefully a brain, ignore it OR just don't read it.

I actually watch those while in town. If I see someone achieve a title, (Leg. Vang., Leg, Cart., or Leg. Guard.) I send them a congrats. IMHO, certain titles should be recognized.

Why do people choose to block pop-up ads in their web browsers? I mean, they could just be using their brains and ignoring those, too. It's not like it's distracting or anything.

Where do you have your chat window positioned? In the middle of your screen? I kept mine at its default location and don't find the random announcements distracting at all.

It pushes up/clogs the chat window with irrelevant information. You can disable several types of information that the chat window displays, the idea boils down to one more check box. I didn't think people would take it like a personal insult.
