This. *grumbles about the massive necessary proofreading*

Then you could just turn it off.

So you get to dictate, once-again, how the rest of us play the game...

Well, I guess someone's going to get to dictate to somebody...

[Mirage]

What the shit does that even mean? I'm dictating how people play the game because I suggest that people turn off shouts they don't want to see?

seriously, some people are depressing
I dont understand. /shout bothers you, set your filter, problem solved (less than 3 secs..., mind you)

I want to enjoy the game whenever I can play. I want to be able to log and setup a party easily and quickly.
/shout is a tool to meet some people. How do I find people for a mission fight? How do I find people for abyssea ?
Being able to reach/being reach by the widest audience will make these tasks easier.
This game is hard because it's hard to get people. Actually most of fights are easy, the hard part is gathering a party.
It shouldn't be this way.

Exactly. FFXI emphasizes grouping more so than many other MMO's but it does a bad job of helping you easily do so. Good luck to anyone trying to get through CoP/AU/Wings/Addons/Assaults or any of the other niche crap that are nearly impossible to find help on.

Effectively. The only reason I haven't globally disabled shouts is for events where shouting basically is the only means of effective communication to everyone in the area.

Just like the game currently dictates that you must idle in port jeuno if you want any sort of PUG for anything. Do you seriously not get it? The only difference this thing would make is that not every goddamn player looking for a PUG has to idle in port jeuno.

Turning off the region chat to get some peace of mind is practically the exact same as leaving port jeuno is now.

I think we just need a place easily accessible to people regardless of city preference and capable of containing shouts away from people who don't need to hear them. Why don't we all start a petition to move all shouting to the Chocobo Circuit. After all, with the exception of Bonanza marble purchase, when is the last time you went into that zone for anything after your first hour of frustration with the race system?
