/Tell Options

[Lyzern]

EDIT I looked up your lodestone

I find it rude and counter-factual to examine other people's Lodestone to cement your arguments on a forum (where free speech by all should be had), but whatever.

Yes, but not exclusively. I am also an officer of my FC and am the master of 4 linkshells, which means I do a lot of selling and recruiting. In my point of view, taking into account most people's mentality, they will just keep their tells disabled for randoms, so:

1) I use a shout macro and get 3 PMs
2) Those 3 PMs have tells disabled, they send me a /tell
3) I can't reply to them asking questions regarding the joining of my FC/Linkshells or answer any questions they ask
4) Since they've grown accostumed to their tells being disabled, they don't even remember they have it off, so we can't communicate.

And again, this is just ONE example, there's many, many more. Far outweighing the benefits of this system.

And don't reply "oh but people will take it off when they need". No. No, they won't. Maybe you would, maybe I would, but not the average player. I've seen countless times people forgetting that their Busy status disables tells, let alone a system without a bright red icon on your name.
