i don't think its annoying, it separates each line which is great when it scrolls at light speed

i think WTB should be dark red and WTS should be the red that it currently is for this same fact

And you'll get stuff like this:

Kigou(symbol) and onpu(musical note) are part of the Japanese IME, not ASCII.

I have tried to do this in GW chat and was unable to paste anything. I tried CTRL+P and Shift+Insert - neither work. Has anyone been able to paste?

Sorry I meant CTRL+V.

cntl - v is paste in windows
also i think the characters might be unicode, given this is a multi-lingual game i would expect them to use that instead of ascii

saw someone spamming a bunch of triangle symbols with the "Pay me 1k to learn how to do this!"

REALLY annoying and makes me hate going into towns. Pretty much I have the all chats turned off but guild, team and whisper.
