Hello:

In the current game "Call for Help" is more of a nuisance than anything. Most content is in an Instance meaning that the feature is completely useless there and can only serve to create chaos. And even outside of an instance, there is unlikely anybody to hear the call and with current movement speed players can just run away. So let's just get rid of it and save my sanity from any more of these situations (although at least for W3 you still get mask credit. Not sure if it will block the W3 clear to unlock weapon upgrades)!

Call For Help still has some niche uses; I don't agree that it needs to be removed entirely, but taking it off the context menu and removing the /h alias to make it harder to do accidentally would be nice.

I think if the content has a queue, or a "wait to enter" mechanic, SE can safely remove the Call for Help feature from the context menu.

It makes me very nervous too :P

You could always turn /blockhelp on. But this only remains active until you logout, then it resets.

I have that turned on by default at all times. But not everybody does. Maybe just making that the default would be the ticket.

I think it just needs to be made into a toggle available within the options that can always stay on or off, and be enforced by the party leader instead of on an individual basis.
