Pause and Think before Shouting

[Yumi_Hibiki]

you know what would help against the shout spam?

if people finally grow a brain and use the damn search function

but i already lost hope that it will ever happen no matter how much they tweak it unless they implement a "smash your face on the keyboard to get a party" function.
the often requested text commands did nothing to help make people use it and even the visible party flag will be in vain most likely

i am curious what the next excuse will be to not use it, my bet is on "i don't like the color of the window"

I check the search function, probably nab one person, if I'm lucky. I also use the search function for myself, I'm sitting there for 6 hours doing nothing.

I will continue shouting until the community learns to use the search function.

Deal with it.

I've ran into people who answered me in tells and told me having a conversation in LS chat is rude.

dafuq?

What in the?

But I've ran into a few people as well when I ask a question in a shell I get a /tell response to my question it's just odd.

that is exactly the problem, even the people that try to use it get discouraged very fast because everyone else is too stupid/lazy to use it which makes it unusable cause you neither find people nor get invites, so they say screw it and go back to shouting.

SE should turn off shouting for some weeks, maybe that is what people need to learn
with the current system there is NO excuse not to use it except that no one uses it, which is the community's fault alone
2.0 and new players are our only hope as it stands right now

I agree @ the OP, I would say its pretty much modern MMO mentality.

Content finder will most like stop much of the shouting but it will then cause problems with people not communicating.

Right now its quite stressful to start your own party in this game, getting 6/8 people for an hour and trying to find the last 2 spots is enough to make anyone not bother trying to make a party again.

Perhaps they're locked in crafting or gathering and cannot switch LS to the one you're using.

First world problems...

"Too many (Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It) shouts"
"Now I have to turn on chat filter."

Random shouts is common place in all MMOs, I have had loads of help on STO using zone chat (shout) and people don't care about conversations in zone chat on there, I really don't get why its such a big deal, people making parties shout atleast once a min, and if you see one fly past just wait 1 min, or scroll up the chatlog to see what was said.

If you are having problems seeing ls or pt chat then use a different tab for those, thats what I do and it works perfectly.

This game already has a lack of a social aspect, what you want is for it to get worse by making everyone hide in thier ls to never come out of it.
