SE: Please add cooldown between shouts

[Elkwood]

Why does SE need to implement a cooldown? Are you incapble of blacklisting someone? Taking away shout removes general zone wide conversations that DO take place. The gil spammers are largely only conentrated in the cities and starter areas. Easy way to blacklist is to click the offendors name and pick the "send tell" option. Instead of tell command, replace with /blist Gilspammer (obviously the name would be the one your original command would send the tell to). You're done..no need for SE to waste time.

You blacklist them the same. It's actually easier to do as they aren't nearly as common.

Except most of the time they are spamming so fast you cannot see the multiple names doing it. Not to mention this eliminates the issue of people using shout to hold conversations which have no purpose and should be done via tell

10 people should have a tell conversation with each other?

I'm not saying shouting is the most conducive way to have a discussion, but sending tells is hardly any better for large groups of unrelated people. There pretty much isn't a better method of talking to some people across the zone from you than shouting.


Putting that aside, I think everyone agrees that SE should probably try to figure something out with those RMT spammers. Quite horrifying, those.

Tells or link shells.
