Would you PLEASE consider making this place a 'no magic' zone?

I agree with this but I dunno if they'll implement it.

However, I have somewhat of a work around:
While you might not be able to block out sound effects from spells (without turning the sound effects off altogether), you can turn off spell effects for non-party based players. I'd highly recommend doing that and turning off display names on anyone who isn't in your party or on your friends list, or at least setting it to initials only. It makes things a lot easier to see and you won't have to deal with the Holy spam. (Although you still have to listen to it.)

Even as I type this, there's someone in the lobby doing it right now. I think they have some kind of macro going or something cause they haven't moved at all and they keep using Swiftcast at the same time, and Surecast later, and have been doing this for at least the past ten minutes from what I've seen (probably even longer before I got on). I already reported them because this is just ridiculous. You can't find anything better to do with your time, so you're going to try and ruin other people's fun? Awesome.

We should just be restricted to basic actions in Gold Saucer (sprint, return, teleport, etc.). I'm really getting sick of this Holy spam.

thumbs up. This is also helpful when you have loading problems during Hunts.
