/Tell during duty

[Faction]

It's cause healers would /tell each other stuff like "This tank sucks doesn't he?" or the Tanks would tell the healers to stop the DPS for attacking mobs out of order. Can't talk behind peoples' backs now. /conspiracy

Oh yeah there is NO WAY you would ever want to send a tell to someone not in your party.

If you think this is for any reason other than some hilarious mechanics side effect you're crazy.

I think it has more to do with the fact that instances take place on a different server than the one your character is on.

As for FC and Linkshell chat though, it may maintain a connection to that particular communication channel, but in an instance you cant manage linkshell, free company or friends list.

I miss Playonline's global friendslist. With something like that, it might even be possible to do instances with people from your fl on other servers if they tweak the Duty Finder to accommodate such a global list.

Honestly? I don't see why we'd need /tell in a dungeon.

I know I don't want gold sellers whispering me like they do when I'm outside of an instance. People really shouldn't be sending tells in a dungeon when they're supposed to be keeping up anyway.

You have your fc/ls/party chat if you really need it.

Well then, perhaps they should enable tells, but allow you to turn yours off. I really don't understand this viewpoint of "I don't want X, so keep it broken for everyone".

I don't understand what's broken in the first place. /shrug

They could always restrict it to only letting people who are on your friends list /t you while in a dungeon or instance.

That should be an option already, inside or outside of duties. I don't want tells from people I don't know, period.

This is a waste of a topic, this proves without a doubt people will complain about anything at all. You don't need /tells to cry about a bad tank, grow up and tell him he's bad. You don't need /tell to talk to ls mates or anyone else. If you can't stop being a shady back talker for the duration of a dungeon I damn sure don't want you slowing my party down. Stop digging for minor things to cry about, join a bandwagon and hate something that people feel is really broken. I have had 0 complaints so far because this is an MMO and much like wine should get better with time. Relax people and try not to infect the rest of the community by being pricks.
