And make a five minute conversation into an hour long one.
The message supression has been bugging the holy hell out of me since they first slammed it into med-high gear a few weeks back. I'm a fast typer who also uses vivid descriptions as to make sure the other party understands exactly what I mean.
Before the suppression, I was cranking out max length messages every few seconds, getting large amounts of
valuable information to multiple parties. After the supression, I have to type like... Well, someone who
isn't me. I've even had friends think I was somebody else! It's bloody annoying. I can't get the same quantity of information to others without taking 4 times as long or more to do it, and even then it's harder for them to understand it.
I understand the need for spam protection but seriously.. Isn't there any other way to do it (query to ArenaNet)? I read
in this thread that "WTS" can no longer be typed in Local Chat. If this is so, why not just spend some time gathering keywords that spammers would use and block those from certain chat tabs? Not sure if I was descriptive enough there because my entire typing psyche is out of whack now...
I'm sure most of us appreciate the effort guys. I sure do. But please, alter your course a bit and try something else; the current system does help kill spam
but it also causes undue stress upon players who are just trying to communicate with others. By eliminating one form of communication and not offering another one, well.. You risk losing even more players. You haven't exactly eliminated our chatter yet, but what you have done is limited it to a point where quite a few of us wont bother because of how frustrating it is.
I've got faith in ya still A-Net. Absolutely loving Factions, and eagerly awaiting Chapter 3. Show us what you're made of and blow us all away with this
