An option to block "ECHO" from activating (in preformed groups)

Hi everyone,

My friends and I like to play old content in "Minimum item level" mode to experience it as it orginally was.

However, in order to do the things right, we constantly have to click off this "ECHO" buff that keep activating itself.
It may not be a big deal at first, but I must say that it quickly becomes very annoying when we're trying difficult stuff...

Not only do we have to absolutly remind it to each player after each try, but after 15+ tries, we can start getting bored with this and we may remove another buff by accident instead (like food buff for example)...:mad:

I totally understand why this buff exists, but could there be an option to completely diseable this thing, at least for preformed groups ?

I even tend to think that the "Minimum item level" option itself shoud already diseable ECHO...

Has this already been asked ?

Gonna be honest and say I thought it already did. I kinda thought that was the whole point of the option

Maybe scrub the trial and start it again fresh? Echo only kicks in if you wipe once (unless I'm mistakened)- otherwise your at your base level right?

Might be faster than reminding everyone aside from just having everyone stay put. Or SE could put a "No Echo" option to be designated by party leader as a quick fix. Much like unsynching..global override.

Can't you just remove the buff by right clicking?

For some content (e.g. Coils) Echo kicks in right from the start.

You can, and the OP clearly knows that - his point is that it is annoying having to do that and to remind everyone else in the group to do that after each wipe.

I'd like them to detach undersized from unsynced, and also make minimum ilv automatically block Echo. It doesn't make any sense to put an extra bonus on for 'hard mode'; letting us configure our own hard modes properly would then be possible. I cannot imagine the number of people who want to run at minimum ilv but with Echo active is significant; the options are contradictory.
