Developers: Regarding the upcoming "Yell" Chat Command

[Habiki]

This update will be a nothing really, it won't be a global chat channel it is just going to be all 4 jeuno zones. If you don't care to hear it filter it or go somewhere else, the only reason to be in any jeuno zone at all is for the shouts, home nations give AH and Aby NPCs.

Agreed, but remember their just gonna start with implemanting it in jueno, and depending how it gos, they have plans to make it work in home nations as well. Shouldn't really make a differance though if they added that now or later people are still gonna stay in jueno for shouts + convience of travel and it won't serve much purpose anywhere else. I don't see people leaving jueno unless the magian moogles are added to the home nations as well.

Personally Im finding I dont visit Jeuno as much as I visit my home nation now. The introduction of the AH and maw teleporters to the home nation and the ability to use the op warps means its much easier to stay at home than go to Jeuno. Only when Im bored to I go check out the bazaars and listen to the shouts in Jeuno which isnt very often. Even my mule went back home. Much rather use the shops in the home nation too.

I'm not against a "Yell" chat command and i don't want to have to filter it, however some ppl already abuse the shout command spamming every 5 secs looking for a tele, looking for a party, wanting to buy something, etc

A delay on the time between each "yell" from a single person might help keep it from being a flying spam fest onscreen.

Don't want to wait between each time you can use "yell", then use shout.

This is Square, you really think they meant it's going to be shared yell?

It will be 4 seperate yell channels for the 3 nations and jeuno, shouting in jeuno won't be heard anywhere but there.

If you dont ask you wont get, if you ask and dont get you are no worst off.

you do not need to call out the developers for your post to get read. In fact, it makes your post less likely to be read.

and yell doesn't need a cooldown. Just filter it, or blacklist the people abusing it if you don't want to see it.

Um no, I just came back to FFXI and rerolled, I could barely function in Port Jeuno when I was doing some nation mission or job quests, i forget which. I shouted "why does the entire server have to AFK in port jueuno" and right away I got replies in shout saying 'go fk yourself', 'get lost, youre an idiot', 'you are not worthy of this game just logout and kill yourself' lol.

Putting dev in the post won't disuade paid staff from reading them.

They don't reply to the vast majority of posts no matter what you put in the title, simply because they have to get confirmation for everything they reply to that isn't simple stuff.

The age of rage. Imagine what these people are like in real life? Makes me shudder.
