    Please, seriously, allow us to send tells to people in dungeons.

    Edit: It's simple, give us three options -

    1. Receive tells from friends while in dungeons? On by default.
    2. Receive tells from party-mates while in dungeons? On by default.
    3. Receive tells from anyone on your server while in dungeons. Off by default.

    At least allow us to whisper our friends. Just like party chat, someone who is busy in a fight isn't going to stop and reply.

    I met a cool, good, whm today and wanted to pick him up for more WP running again but he was in an instance so wasn't able to. He's on my friendlist but not in my guild or FC.

    It is simply frustrating. I know this topic has come up before but that's because it's a good idea.

    It's even alright if they can't receive tells while finding a boss, and it replies to the player "Drag Anne is fighting Anantaboga and is unable to reply.".

    I also think it would be awesome to have the option to repeat a dungeon with the same group. There have been some awesome pugs I've been in, but we have no way to run together again.
    This too! I don't like embarrassing people, and sometimes, no matter how nicely you phrase something, the text is flat and people take offense.

    And yeah, I'd love to be able to requeue with the group, or whatever portion remains.

    This would be better than what we've got. However, limiting it to just friend list stops the rmt issue mostly, unless a friend gets hacked. I just can't see how receiving tells from friends is a bad thing.

    The last response from devs on this was "blah blah we don't want people to be able to harass you"

    How about just tells to people on your friends list?

    Lets compromise here.

    I was just thinking about posting this again today. We really need this to be fixed because I spend a huge majority of my time chaining instances like coil and tome farms early in the week, and it basically completely nullifies any conversations I have with friends who aren't able to participate in this content or join my linkshell yet.

    I have to use a messenger and tab out of the game to talk to my friends that are playing the same game on the same server as me in a pay to play title? Are you kidding me?

    That, AND being able to invite friends when someone drops out. Currently all you can do is chat in a linkshell and ask they to try to queue for an in progress dungeon, and *hope* they get your group.

    I think the reason we can't send tells is because they don't allow cross server chat. When you use duty finder, you're actually put into a different server. I think that's why we can actually party up with people on other servers. Until they let cross server chat happen, i doubt they'll allow tells or whispers sadly. But i agree, it would be a nice feature.

    If this was the case we wouldn't have been able to chat with people in LS or FC with us.

    Literally the only reason we can't send tells in dungeons is because it is disabled by choice, not by a technical limitation, and the devs said as much even in beta.

    We should have tells in the dungeon , It less rude talking to someone play style in front of everyone in the party. If there new to a dungeon they will not feel so harassed from the other players. We should have a default dungeon whisper command tells and have open world tells from friends. We also not clutter the FC chats or the linkshells Chats. But most in voice chat programs anyways. If someone that do not like tells in the dungeons then they have option to turn off the whisper or tells command and make sure other players know you got them off. When you sent the tell and it blocked. Also have a quick mute option if you get a tell you can just mute the tell. Till dungeon over. Make a better play experience for everyone.
