This is an online game. You're not the only one playing. Not everything that's going to be typed by someone may be relevant for you. But can be relevant for someone else. That said, it doesn't justify spamming, but on that case, be it sound effect or anything else, it can and should be reported and delt with.

I also have a macro with sound effect for Hydra's fear ability, and while certain few did say it was annoying, much many more thanked me for it. So if it helps even one person - I'm going to use it. Feel free to blacklist me lol

Just because you know the fights don't mean you can't space out for a split second and not realize something critical is going on... And while I don't spam it, in CT for instance during Thanatos if our alliance's Magic pot is under attack (as in actually being attacked, not just the Sandman hovering towards it) I use a macro that just says "/p Magic Pot is under attack!<se.9>" I've actually been thanked for this type of thing before, and heard it called "useful"

Was like people who macro'd Provoke in FFXI with a damn <call1> or something. We didn't need to know they were provoking every 30 seconds, and we sure as hell didn't need a shrill noise on top of that to reinforce it.

/ja "Provoke" <t>
/p USED PROVOKE!!! <call>!!!!
/wait 15
/p provoke ready in 15 <call5>!!!!!!!
/wait 15
/p PROVOKE READY!!!!! <call8>

/ja "Provoke" <t>
/p USED PROVOKE!!! <call>!!!!

/loop

that warriors w/o sub using 2h sword wearing subligar were annoying :P

We really need a customizable chat filter so we can just filter out any messages that contain specific phrases.

Man what is wrong with people on MMO forums? It's like you're responding just to the thread topic without reading the content. Here I'll help you out.

<se.3> Read all the posts before making your reply <se.3>

This thread is about people using excessive spam. Warnings are really helpful, but what if 3 people have them and refuse to turn them off? It sort of makes sense to have a /ignore type feature.

[Parodine]

This would be funny for 5 seconds, maybe. Not for a whole entire effing run. In CT, communication is paramount and this completely ruins it.

I'm sure glad we can't /tell in dungeons. Really protected us against spam and harassement. /sarcasm.

[Arkista]

Because everyone is born knowing the mechanics and in any case no new players are doing the content for the first time.

I bet you're the first to /kick someone when you discover they've never done your precious content before.

If there is someone taking it upon themselves to lead the alliance and telling players what's going on then that's fine to an extent. As for what I experienced if someone wanted to lead the alliance it was damn near impossible with the <se.1>..... Spams from 4 players.

It wasn't even the sound that was the issue, I know how to use mute. It was the fact that 4 players spamming idk 15-20 <se.1> on a macro made it hard as hell to communicate with a few new players in my party.

Don't get me wrong sound effects do help where silence rotations are needed or other things like you said Fear Itself.


Edit
I did party with this one guy who came up with this pretty cool sound effect "Song" but he didn't spam the hell outta it.

[Orophin]

To answer your edit, yes, you can filter alliance chat in your log, but it's an all or nothing thing.

[alhandra]

run enough CT's with people who dont know what the hell they are doing and you will learn to appreciate the people that take the time to make macro's with sound effects for things like behemoths meteor.. id rather have some annoying sound effect and spam then wipe repeatedly because because people cant pay attention without someone holding their hand and telling them exactly what to do and expect at every given moment
