Would like to inquire quickly about whether or not we have had a developer/GM post regarding the rules of using Yell (/yell) as a Zone Wide chat amongst players, and what discussion is proper for said function?
I have recently seen an influx of players using Yell as a form of General Chat communication due to lack of one, and I was just wondering if there are any rules against using it as such. I think a General/ZoneChat would bring a lot more life into the game, however this would also be viable.
Do GMs consider it spamming to hold conversations over Yell?

There's GMs in-game?
Also I'm not sure what the point of a chat feature is if you can't use it to chat. -

Using /shout is against the TOS clearly.

With how deadly silent the chat usually is in this game (at least on my server), it's nice to see some signs of life!

Well you give me a proper LFP tool and I'll stop yelling. Telling me not to LFP on my own when you've failed to give me tools to do so isn't just incompetent game-design it's just mean.
