Developers: Regarding the upcoming "Yell" Chat Command

[Runespider]

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.

It's true when they say this game has the best community! XD

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

Being punched in the face is a strong reason to not be that big of a jerk.

exactly. For reference look up "John Gabriel's Greater Internet Dickwad Theory"

To OP: I agree. If they want to brag/fight they should be able to do that in /shouts in jeuno or wherever the 'hangout' is without annoying people in other parts of the server. Also, I'm hoping that it at least doesn't ever extend to out-of-city zones if there isn't a delay placed on it as those fights and spam would potentially disturb people trying to do events or enjoy the game's content and, call me lazy, but I just don't feel like having to filter yells every time i zone out to do something productive in game. If I'm just idle or crafting, I don't mind them, but if I'm with a group doing a mission or nm fight, I don't want to deal with a bunch of brainless yells about how much of an idiot Randomplayer is back in Jeuno. That's a scary thought. :/

The way they are doing it is all areas that can see the /yell have to be put on the same server. I don't think they would be able to put all starter cities and jeuno on one server without it crashing.

If you put a cooldown on /yell, you'll also make it impossible to use multi-line messages, especially common among YUP YOU GUESSED IT JP shouters. So I guarantee there won't be a cooldown on yelling.

[Raxiaz]

I would like this feature to be cross-zoned between all areas in San d'Oria, Bastok, Windurst, Jeuno, and Aht Urhgan.

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

It doesn't encourage them to read it either, so it's pointless. The staff themselves has said that it is unnecessary and that asking for attention will not gain you attention.
