No, Yoshi and the dev's disabled it on account of them worrying about harrasment issues.

In other MMORPG's that have a duty finder like option where people come together from different servers there is alwasy horrible harassment problems using tells. Think of it like when a person has the anonymity of the internet makes them a jerk, than add another layer of anonymity with the duty finer to become a super jerk, this is what SE is trying to avoid.

I agree, but a majority of MMORPG players aren't that smart. They solve it by sending in a ticket to a GM, and theres not really anything a GM can do other than give them a little talk. Thats another reason to probably will clear up allot of useless GM tickets about people being harassed when simply /blist them would solve everything.

Although on another note idk if you can /blist someone from another server? I have never tried it.

It's currently not possible, so that would further compound the problem of allowing tells. Like with tells, I don't know if it's a feature they have purposely disabled or if it's technically impossible due to the people being on another world and you cannot add people from different worlds on your friend list.

I also noticed i can't trade with my free companies pals while im in a duty

Is that working as intend or a bug cuase that and not being able to whisper i thought the game was broke lol

Only thing I have heard about is the /tells. You should be able to trade with anyone while on duty I think

Don't think you can. I have tried trading with someone once before but it wasn't allowed. I don't really have much of a issue with that, but at the same time I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to trade.

You can send tells in this mmo, as well as trade, just not in a duty.

People have gone over SE's reasoning for tells

The trades I can see as well, let's say you are a healer on a non legacy server, and you queue up for a dungeon that not a ton of people do. At the same time a friend of yours from a legacy server queues up for that same dungeon as a tank (dps would be more difficult to get this done with) at like 1-2am PST. You could do this until you get into the same dungeon and your friend off of the legacy server with the legacy account could just hand you a ton of stuff you couldn't possibly have yet (which is why legacy servers are separate and probably won't be able to xfer from for a very long time).

Just an idea, might not be right...

Tells don't work simply because when you're in Duty Finder, you're literally not on the server any more. The instance servers are separate (they're the things that initially overloaded) and when you're in a dungeon or wherever, you're playing with people from different servers. Your friends will also see a "Not in this world" icon next to your name on their friends list as well.

The trade is disabled for just that reason too, it could destabilise the economy of the worlds if it allowed transferring of items between worlds.

Hope that helps to explain!
