I'm from Fabul. Back in my day streets of Uldah were quiet. There were some shouts for stuff but it was few. Then we merged.
I can no longer craft peacefully on the streets. I blame Besaid. Pretty sure I'm just going to blist spammers and leave my shouts on. I think that'd be my best option.
Anyone else annoyed by the new pointless commotion?

I'm perfectly fine with people shouting for parties, or looking for help with something. But the ol' B-List comes out when people carry on conversations in shout, completely spamming out those who legitimately need help.

Gridania has been pretty nice atmosphere.
I'm also considering crafting loads on Gargoyle's Crossing, pretty amazing view -
04-03-2012, 07:24 AMXakerythat's what I'm talking about though... they converse via shout... -_-Quote:

If it honestly bothers people this much, it is as easy as filtering shout while you're in town...
Having a conversation in /sh isn't spamming...if you're constantly shouting the same exact thing (Casino), then you're spamming. So yes, if someone is actually spamming I say blist them. -

I'm in the same vein as Kaplan.
The shouts were too much post merge, so now they're not in my General, Communications (LS/PT/Whisper), or Battle/Synthesis tabs (only stuff I make or my interactions with enemy), but in my "Other Battle" tab.
Too many people would need to be blacklisted to make it work. And can still see what's going on with a quick tab flick rather than unfiltering shout chat. -

Like it or not /shout is a chat channel. Expecting people to not chat in it is well...silly.
Basically...you don't want people to /sh for LFP, don't want them to have conversations...what exactly should /sh be used for?
People should still use the party search features...but /sh for PUGs is still going to be pretty common for a while I think. If for no other reason than you never know who is going to decide to help you out, even if they weren't necessarily looking to do anything.
PS: This isn't really directed at you personally...seems like everyone I know is saying the exact same thing...I just don't agree lol -
04-03-2012, 08:14 AMXakeryI can understand the lfp... but shout stupid conversations? Sure a shout out once in a while is funny or okay... but like a 10 min long shout conversation?Quote:

Eh...what do you want people to do? Everyone who happens to join in a conversation should party up and switch to /p? lol It all comes back to this:
MMO town + Players = Conversation.
If you're the type of player who doesn't really care about other player's normal conversations...chat filters. -
04-03-2012, 08:43 AMXakerybut I don't want to miss an important shout... gah, I guess I'm anti social :/Quote:

lol Xak, important /sh? /sh parties suck imo, they never work out. In my experience people leave /sh parties at the drop of a hat. In pickup parties, people have no loyalty to the other party members, so if folks don't get a dungeon clear or whatever on the first run they bounce. But I guess I'm just being jaded/cynical.
send me a /t dude. I heard something last night that we have to fix for ya! -

Turn shouts off. I do that every time someone's having fun I dont' want to read about (remember, just because it's stupid to you doesn't make it stupid in absolute terms. Other people do have feelings.)
Personally I find them random fun! The server is very lively!
So... Yeah -
04-04-2012, 01:23 AMXakeryGoing on a limb here but if it is about Darkhold and batraal it won't work. You guys never beat it with me before.... just call me a negative Nancy :(Quote:

I kinda like the hustle, bustle and the shouts. It makes the game feel alive and there are people in it. Btw, I'm from Fabul too.

I find shout conversations annoying. That's why /tell is there!

04-10-2012, 07:53 AMDragonTch, despite the fact that you fell asleep when I tried bringing the quietness to you in-game!Quote:
