Disable AoE magic/ablilites in towns

Please can SE disable the AoE spells and abilities in towns.

I just don't get these players who jump around and stand in the towns spamming over and over AoE's. It is so frustrating, noisy and fills my screen. When I trying to work on crafting or talking to NPC's or using the ah I don't want that happening next to me.

Sorry for ranting but am I the only person this annoys?:mad:

Disable other players effect and sound, move elsewhere to do your crafting, be patient, ....

Seriously? The towns are not JUST for you, you know.

The real problem is the lack patience of certain players and their inability to understand that the world IS big enough for all us.
There are more than enough convenient and quiet spots. Just head into a residential ward to have access to the market board and your retainers without having to smell the adventurers dwelling in the main parts of the cities.

TLDR: NO!

Frankly - you can simply dissable those in your settings but what I'd much rather see enforced is to prohibit crafting in the main shopping areas, in front of the Market boards and retainer bells (the same way like it's not possible to do so in the Inns). The amount of morrons crafting right on the top of the bells or in front of the MBs and other NPCs is incredible ...

I do understand what your saying, it is just at times it really annoying if I am trying to use the AH or something like that when next to me is someone spamming over and over an ability.

When I can I do move to somewhere quiet and away from it.

I would not want to disable those settings- when I party it would still be disabled would it not? I completely agree with you about the crafting thing

I just want to mute crafters.

the thing with not lettin crafter craft in market near the bell is silly, most of us crafters do have material given to our servants, thus we do need fast access to those should we require material that we do not carry with us....in fact, not letting crafters craft in the Inns has led to this situation. Easier would have been to forbid crafting in the market BUT allow it in the Inn....aka personal room...where we have access to our servants and we do not annoy anybody...or better yet, create a zone where all crafters can go and craft...that way only the crafters would use that zone.

AoE is totally another story and I agree, although I have been guilty to have used it too just to see what it is. Testing is one thing, but doing it repetedly 10 to 20y in a rown like the Holy for Whm or that silly skill of tanks that you have flashes allover..is annoying

Moogle must be very crowded. People crafting around bells and market board on Faerie aren't blocking my way. I don't think you can craft inside an Inn but it would been nice to have been able to. It would have been nice to access a market board from an Inn and not just our retainers.

There are 3 seperate settings for 3 separate groups - You, Party memebers, others - for each you can have full, partial or no effect. I use full for myself, partial for party and none for others.

I'm mainly crafter as well and while I do aggree not letting us crafting in Inns seems silly (but it's most likely down to crappy instance servers) I don't agree with crafting RIGHT in front of the bells and MBs. I will not kill anyone to spent five seconds to walk a bit away. And I'd love to see "crafters" (semi-)dedicated locations apart of FC Housing.

Not really but even one crafter like that is annoying and pretty rude.

You're actually the "silly" one as you can both dissable the sound and other effects as well as the actuall messages in the chat logs. The point is about crafters PHYSICALLY crowding the busy location by being lazy to take 10 steps away and craft away from the main footh paths etc.

Yeah because this post is clearly not me making a parody of OT's post and is totally my own opinion and not me reasoning like TS to make him get exactly how silly it sounds.

well the bells are in the market, to move away from it would mean to crossover a zone change, depending on what end you are, you never know much in advance what you are going to need unless you have a piece of paper write it down all and then craft, provide your inventory is empty enough to allow you to, I dont see a problem with crafters. Incidentally, where do you craft ? you telling me you are crafting farrr away from the bells and boards ? I hightly doubt. unless you dont craft much anymore since you have already maximized all your crafts ?

AoE thought, like the mounts arent allowed in the towns (main ones) should be automatically removed. There are no need to use weapons and skills in towns, why have it OR allow mounts as well why would mounts not be allowed in main towns and AoE yes ? silly uh?

Thank you for that- I have not found these settings and I am much happier- spam away ppl It doesnt matter now.

I got sick of this because of all the asshat DRG's spamming their damned move over and over again in town.

Only thing you can do right now is what I did. Turn down the volume of non party members to 0.

But with me crafting sounds do not bother me in the least. I actually miss them cause it adds a little more flavor to the towns when running around.

^^^^ THIS YES! I wish we could do that. Also there is no reason to disable my Holy sometimes I need to see that pretty globe of awesomeness.

Not "far" away - just not right next / in fron of it, I actually store a lot of my crafting mats in FC chest as well so in Gridania I usually craft by the wall with 3 wooden chests next to the "middle" exit from the shopping area (at the sight of FC chest), at Limsa on the big boulder on side of the small round square between the shopping area sections (again at sight but not righ in front of FC chest) and in Uldah I'll "hide" in the doorway just on the north end of the shopping area just bellow the border with the next area (a little bit futher from the FC chest though which in the middle there). If I know that I'll be not needing anything from FC chest then I craft in the FC Housing area (don't have the House yet but hope to have one soon) to avoid lag, people running around me and to minimize chance of fail on the myth mats crafts. I do craft almost every day for a couple of hours and yes I do need to run here and there a few time to the bells, MBs (although I barelly buy anything from there anyway), NPCs and FC chests.

The power of casting "Shadow Flares" and spamming "Blizzard II" among groups of crowded players...

*evil laughs*
