Alright, I HAVE to turn the chat off
KANE OG
The kids have even ruined observer mode with their babble. *sigh* I'll never know the joys of good old common chat again. You think it's possible to have say..... a half-million people in your ignore list? I think that's what it's coming to.
Sol_Vie
I feel your pain. I try not to add to the mindless chatter by just not talking... if only there were some way to separate the intelligent chat from the blabber.
Mavrik
I always have local chat turned off unless I am looking for a group or something. No need to see any of that crap.
Diablo???
If only the "Ignore" list has a button called "Add All"
PtiteDiablesse
I dunno, mebbe it'd just be easier to have it default to 'ignore all' and you can add folks you no longer wish to ignore. Seems like the list would be shorter.

Yup people spamming observer mode is annoying. The other day i watched 3 matches in a row and during each one the same guy was spamming observer mode asking for help with THK. =/
Lord Iowerth
What I want to see implemented: "Jerk Tagging" ... i'll explain.
Whenever you are in a party with a jerk, a doofus, a moron, or whatever other adjectives you'd like to use, you can put their name on much the same thing as the ignore list, but the difference is: whenever you see them in towns, outposts, or in the party you're in, they will have a big letter "X" preceeding their name on the party window (or above their head in local chat) visible by you only.
I, for one, can't be bothered to remember all the people who i've ever grouped with that have done something stupid ... so something like this would be > ignore list, IMHO.
And if you fear the number of jerks would far outnumber the nice people: you could have the reverse as well for nice people ... which would be a big "check" mark in much the same fashion.
Hear me, ANet, and bring it forth to bear in the next update, plz

I get really annoyed when someone who just lost a game in GvG, checks back into observor mode only to do his commentary as to why they lost, it oftens include accusations as "teh team sux" or something of that sort....
Anyway, I tried to "ignore all" in real life... but then they call me delusional.

It's not as bad as when they win and go into observer mode of their fight to explain "LOL WE PWNTZORED THOSE NOOB FAGS"
EF2NYD
It's called filter.
thor hammerbane
I feel you big time on this one. The matches in ob mode are sometimes replayed a few times, so all could see. One guy came in and started spamming who won it, untill they actually did.
eom
is there wts spam in observer chat yet?
'cuz that could be virgin territory....

"Their monk was awesome."
*someone comments of a particular opponent of theirs*
"Yeah, he really laid into us, and I never caught it. Lost my focus"
"Heh, here's where I die for the 5th time..."
"...and there's death number 6, lol."
It was good. Nice to know not everyone has to resort to childish retard behavior when they lose, and can step up and say "Yeah, we lost because I just didn't get my job done."
So kudos to whoever they were, I forget.
Diablo???
Its nice to know there are still observant players out there using constructive analysis.

But yeah, I did have a few people in observer chat talking about the games today and I had to turn it off because they were starting to explain why the team lost. And I didn't want to know who lost yet. I actually ended up turning all my chats off, even guild because I didn't want anyone to spoil the ones I hadn't watched yet.

lol ditto Ultimate, my local chat has been off and will stay off since about June. It aint needed. Get a group, chat in the group as you mission/quest, then if you get on well you can whisper each other regularly. Works better in the end and you don't have to put up with all the "WTS UBER ITEM" rubbish or, like i saw the other day in beacons:
"ANY GIRLS THAT WILL STRIPTEASE IN MSN WHISPER ME"
pathetic.

I always keep local chat on
is it that hard to ignore these stuff??

I call it short minded, only talking with ppl of your guild is imo pathetic

... and yes I find it hard to ignore all that braindead trash talk in local chat - especially because there is never anything else going on there. This hasn't anything to do with being "asocial" - I still love to meet people online. I am just not interested in talking to immature and rude f-word users, that's all. Neither in real life nor in a game.

The quality of the Chat channel has declined sharply after the PvP weekend, I don't know why. It's *all* sex & insults now in the PvP area, in the PvE areas (outside LA & Droks district 1) the tradespam is pretty silly. Also the "noobcake" calling has increased. I hardly ever saw real noob-calling until the PvP weekend, now it's pretty common in the PvP arenas.
This on the EU servers, don't know how it is in the US.
I still have local chat turned on, but the situation is definitely deteriorating.

quite so Fantus. I have some wonderful friends I've met from online gaming (though I myself AM pretty antisocial, but in real life more so that in gaming). Yes it is hard to ignore it when every second there are lines of WTS RANDOM GREEN THING WITH LOADS OF RUBBISH ABOUT HOW UBER IT IS INSERTED HERE flashing up and down or how OMG STFU N00B or ANYONE WANNA CYBER!. I always have team chat on. But I don't want exposure to selling (if i did i'd have trade on :roll, I don't want exposure to sexual desperation (see enough of that in real life) and I don't need morons telling everyone how noobish they are. If this was the minority, I'd happily keep local chat on, but as the community has grown, so have the morons, and unfortunately you rarely see any 'normal' chat there now. I'm sure it goes on, it's just hidden amongst the lines and lines of spam 
I wanna meet people but hey, im not gonna expose myself to rubbish and abuse in a game where i'm trying to enjoy myself.
oh and this is on US servers

I find their speech, as they are trying to act older than they are, and act like complete idiots.

I've yet to have a problem with observer mode, except for newbies asking questions - which I usually answer (though some feel the need to flame newbies for some reason) - observer mode is quite safe on the European servers at least.

lol because i was helping a guildie spot lfr's in beacons. Very very rarely I will flick it back on to see whats going on; it always gets turned straight back off within 2 minutes.

I tend to keep local chat off unless I am looking for a group. I have no time nor need to 'listen' to someone brag about how good they are, flamewars, cyber offers, or any of the other nonsense that general goes on. Way too much headache.
MinaDrakul
I also keep local chat down unless I'm looking for group. I have no need or want to listen to bunch of schoolyard fights, chatters, etc. And to me, that's about all that you find in there. *sighs*
Age
I have my mini map covering up my chat window this is in observer mode.I know what you mean by the way chat has become degrading in not only PvE areas but now PvP areas especially on the PvP weekend.
Grimm
Unfortunately much of the inanity seems to be in Temple of Balthazar and Random Arenas. I guess becuase there are no groups really being formed there, so people just stand around saying stupid things. If you're on really late/early, most of the kiddies have gone to bed and you can have a decent conversation, I've found.
I really think there should be an "Internet License". You should have to be a certain age and be aware of basic netiquette, usage of Google, and search functions on Forums to be able to get on it.

Yawn, why do people keep bringing these topics up constantly..? Ok, local chat is unintelligent mostly, I (or we?) get the picture...
allience
i usually have the local char turned off. i turn it on if no guildies or friends are on and i'm LFG in heros ascent.
what annoys me the most is the item SELLERS in the pvp areas that use the local chat. they have been increasing lately, they are idiots and i find the the hardest to ignore.
i wish there was a button in GW were i could completly ignore ppl so that i won't see any msg the say, even in local chat. goddamn the sellers are annoying me!

When Observer Mode was released I thought I would check it out. Within the very first minute of my very first Observer Mode match I had to turn off Observer Chat as it was filled with lamers, idiots & jerks.
The Real Roy Keane
On the PvP Factions weekend, the RA outpost became unbearable. It seemed that I was the only one there not shouting ' EvErY1 GeT naKeD and d4nce,' or spamming Chuck Norris Quotes.
Now instead we have the pretensious, wannabe intellectuals in RA ID1 telling us how god doesn't exist, the corporations are raping the world for money and that all our houses should really be made of a combination of solar panels,windmills and tofu. Anyone who disagrees is, of course, a misinformwd conformist..*local channel off*

It's beyond old. The horse is dead and beaten, and the investigator is closing the barn door after it disappeared.

For some reason I stumble into matches in Observer mode where two or three players start insulting each other... you see the usual words; 'noob', 'stfu', 'sux'.
You know it's getting good when you start reading insults involving other people's mothers. Oh yeah, that's when I stop watching the match and focus 100% on the chat. /sarcasm

I enjoy the luxury of turning local off. and observer. anyone i really need to talk to is in whisper mode anyway.
Ira Blinks
not easy to find a group with local chat off... nor on, when d1,2,3 in every major town is flooded with WTS/WTB crap and buncha kids typing nonsense crap in caps 
Edit: would love to see feature to be able to build own regex filters...
Edit 2: ignore list limit removed would be rly nice to... Every time i form farming group i get bunch of idiots who would get kicked out for obvious absense of basic knowledge of their characters and then pm me offencive crap, so i have to go to my ignore list, remove one guy and add another
Edit 3: im new here... is it just me or forum is dead slow?
