People who /yell and /shout.

[Reiterpallasch]

If we just saw your yell, why do you think we need to see it in a shout as well?

Please stop it, kthnx.

The reason is a lot of people don't have /yell turned on so they have to use /sh as well

I'd like to say that people with /yell turned off aren't the most likely demographic to response to anything in /shout either, and have /yell turned off for reasons related to that. That would make a lot of sense. I like things that make sense!

I can't, however, because I've discovered in my time playing Final Fantasy XI that people do stuff completely at random and there is no way to make sense of anything. It's best to just take the shotgun approach to everything involving other people because of roughly two billion things, none of which will ever make sense.

While we're on the topic: People who shout "GIVE ME ALL THE HATE!" in your provoke macro: why?

[FrankReynolds]

IS it just me? Or could they have just jammed the functionality of /yell into /shout and been done with it? Who are these people who have so many demonic voices in their heads telling them to do things that they just can't handle life in a world where other peoples text messages exist?

Sometimes i picture an emo kid with long black died bangs hanging over his eyes, sitting in his moms basement sweating off his mascara and freaking out because the really cute 8 year old girl voice in his head keeps telling him that he has to cut himself again every time that someone shouts in PJ about how bad spacedragon's linkshell sucks.

Maybe SE could just create a chat window in game that shows the feed from that guildwork shout app.

You may need to put that in /say as well so he gets it.

Unlike /shout, when SE first released /yell it was turned off for everyone by default. So there are probably many people with yell disabled that do not even know of its existence - they only see shouts.

It's also worth noting that /yell has a cooldown, and some people are impatient and can't wait 30 seconds to advertise again.

This was changed later, even for people who already had it off, as far as I know. So I'm not sure this issue really applies anymore. /yell is being used pretty widely now.

It's cause nobody responds quickly to our alliance yells and we have nothing to lose, so there, we don't care about your chat log.
