    They aren't from Dynamis, though. That's the problem. The spam in general should be bannable, but even then, they're like bots. They just crank out level 1s like gil seller bots. They are gone so fast, and black listing does nothing since they will just make another alt. It's frustrating because they spam paragraphs that fill up your chat log. It makes hub cities annoying. And I still stand by what I said. Ban them all.

    It's no longer some fun organic community event. They're businesses. Their ads are just as aggressively being shoved down your throat. I'd block shout chat, but then that negatively affects Hunt trains. Since I lose direction from the conductor. Granted, I could infer from group behavior, but still. I shouldn't have to remove a chat channel from my log because of aggressive bots spamming. Again, ban them all.

    And I don't enjoy saying that. This isn't some crusade by me against venues. I generally don't care what other players are doing as long as they aren't hurting themselves or anyone else. But it's so aggressive that I'm forced to talk about it. I played on RP servers for years. I've played and RPed in D&D for years. I have nothing but respect for RP players. But something is wrong here and a tab for them on the party finder isn't going to fix the spam. Hell, I don't think banning will either, but maybe the threat of it would calm it down. I doubt it, but let me dream.
    Turning shouts chat on for hunt trains (also they usually do it in /yell too btw, not always shouts) is such a hard task to do, oh my

    lmao

    better ban all those people you dislike because pressing a button is too hard for you

    Hyperbole, my name is thee.

    No, but think about it this way you have to disable and re-enable a chat functionality because people are acting like bots. Because people are being so hyper aggressive with ads for their venues. So you have a toxic player interaction that causes me to opt out of a basic functionality of the game. Is this a minuscule problem? Yes, but it is still a problem.

    Also, it's not a one button issue. I'd have to constantly enable and disable shout chat. Maybe make a macro for it. Have you ever played a game where the addon for adblock is preferable? That's not even getting into the fact that addons are so taboo. But in this situation it's a massive quality of life.

    And honestly, if a massive quality of life feature revolves around spam. Then spam clearly is a problem.

    Do you have any more brain bursters for me, Stormpeaks? Or is being unreasonable your one trick pony? Because we can trade insults and put words in our mouths or be adults.

    I have nothing against EPRers RPers and venues. Literally couldn't care less what they do with their time. I've said as much above.

    It's the spam. It's always the spam. The constant spam. If it's not ok for an RMT bot, why is it ok for them?

    But I'm going to block you Stormpeaks. You have proven to me that you refuse to have an actual conversation.

    Hey sure you have at it buddy, I dont mind lmao

    I'm not the one complaining about a minor inconvenience of having to push a button once a day or maybe twice to turn shouts on/off when I do hunt trains, especially since a majority of the time, train conductors also use /yell and /shout at the same time
