When this happens I find it pretty hilarious actually. People need to lighten up a bit. It helps ease the pain of repetition.

Perhaps a chat block would be better then a blacklist? so you just block them from chat - but then again I can see how this would probably get out of hand.

Personally I don't use silence but saw Bards use them to announce they just used it, and it's really helpful for rotations to tell the other bards / roles to get ready to use theirs.
If you don't like sounds you can turn them off, if the players spams them in chat just report them for spamming, it has no differance spamming <se.1> x9999 or spamming "I love to eat chocobos" x9999. Both can be reported for harasments and spam. -
01-14-2014, 06:23 PMblowfinYeah but a silence rotation is only needed in a few places. Really your macro sounds effects should be turned off if you're not in one of those situations. Even then, after getting used to the fights (e.g. T1/2) there's just about no need to announce it at all. Beyond that it keeps everyone more sane if you don't have the notification macro attached to the ability itself, have it on a separate button so you don't spam people with the sound when you're spamming for your CD.Quote:

Was like people who macro'd Provoke in FFXI with a damn <call1> or something. We didn't need to know they were provoking every 30 seconds, and we sure as hell didn't need a shrill noise on top of that to reinforce it. -

Funny I should notice this thread after the CT run I had earlier. Some self-appointed "mother" of the raid took it upon herself to spam the raid chat with lines and lines of drivel announcing Iron Giants, "Hide Now!" etc. Pointed out it was patronising to her fellow players but she continued to do so. Fortunately she's on my server so I can blacklist her future moronic spam.

That message was lost instantly with, "BAD THINGS INCOMING!!!" <se.1>" x6 lines followed by, "IRON GIANT!!! <se.1>"
