Eliminate /sh in residential areas

[Alukah]

Why should I have to switch between chat filters because people like you need attention?

Because YOU are the one being bothered with interacting with others, they give you tools to deal with it, so use them.

most people

Yeah no, you are a minority.

No, i can guarantee you that I am in the majority. Most people hate /sh. This is the problem right? A few loud obnoxious people think everyone loves to see their /sh. News flash: almost nobody does. I guess I should be more tolerant of the socially disadvantaged and attention-starved, so why not make a compromise and have a configuration option that lets you filter /sh when in residential areas, or are you afraid too many people will miss out on your witty repartee?

Why are you even playing MMOs if you don't like players socializing? I mean there should be quite a few single-player games that provide you with a nice challenge without having to play with others.

And as others have already pointed out, you have the tools to overcome this issue on your own so use them. And don't say "But I don't wanna!" because you won't be getting sympathy from anyone.

I don't want to have to make a special filter for Mist,

If everybody hates shout, what's wrong with making yourself unable to see shout at all? You keep acting like there's never anything worth of reading in /sh. Why wait for SE to force it on everyone, even people who don't want it? Filter it now and you're free forever.

At least when I do it, it's here in a forum, not forced upon people

How are you so sure you're not forcing yourself on..wait, are you saying forum posters aren't people? What about you then?

Except I can guarantee that you aren't in the majority. I frequently hang out outside of my FC house. My FC house is located in Mist Ward 1 of my server, which is probably one of the most populated wards on most servers. Also keep in mind that I share my server with a large Japanese population. I do see /sh being used now and then but 1) it's not frequent enough for me or others to care about or 2) It actually helps us build a sense of community within our small ward.Just yesterday I randomly did a /sh to tease an FC friend that I had been chatting with in FC chat. Not only did nobody tell me to stop talking in sh but they even joined in on the fun. We all had a fun time and I met new people. If they had found my /sh annoying, they could've told me to can it but they didn't. This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. So your one opinion clearly doesn't represent the MAJORITY of people who hang out in the residential districts.

Proof or get out. Honestly, I don't mind shout at all except when people are being exceptionally vulgar.

You're misunderstanding. I don't mind cursing (I do a fair bit of it myself) but I've seen people say some truly foul and offensive things on /shout. Racial slurs, harassment, etc. Those are the sort of things that I'll report as well as blacklisting. I value the GMs' time too much to bother them with everyone that says a four letter word, though.

I myself dislike /shout in most cases; but guess what? I use the function that developers put in the game to keep myself less annoyed.

You're honestly spending more time and energy arguing a point that there is a majority of people out there who dislike shout when truthfully the "Majority" you speak of, does what everyone else does. They filter shout chat to a different window and move on. But for some reason you're incapable of this option for yet unknown reasons. So technically you ARE considered the minority, because as I said before; the majority filters the chats.
