RP shout ads are obstructive to chat and gameplay

[Gordita]

Not necessarily true (referring to my underlined comment). Hunts mainly operate over Discord/hunt linkshells. It's way easier to ping mass amounts of people in a server/have someone relay the message through linkshells than rely on shout chat to get the message across considering how large the hunt community has become (due in part to how the quickest route to getting EW relics done is by spamming trains for tomes). Now that cross-DC has become a thing, it's even more useful so people can be quickly notified for trains on other DCs compared to just their own. Discord might be a sore subject for some but it's ultimately just more efficient now an you can always go the linkshell route if you want a completely in-game option for hunts that won't be cluttered by spam.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. I said venue ads have taken over shout and you say that's not true because hunts use discord. What? The you proceed to talk about trains ... Relics... Cross DC... What does any of that have to do with shout ads taking over shout chat? This just looks like an attempted derailment and topic change to start veering off course again.
If you're suggesting that players use a second device and/or program to miss less hunts, that's not a solution to the spam in shout chat, that merely enables more of it. And I'm unsure as to why people are trying to hyperfixate on hunts, probably because it seems like the easiest thing on the long list of things that are disrupted to find a "solution" to but none of that changes the fact that shout ads are a problem and something needs to be done about it. Even people who have some here to argue and be immature, without realizing it, have confirmed the problem. Not that it needs extra confirmation, it's a well known fact that it's out of hand.
This morning I pitched this idea that I've suggested to a venue owner, and they were in love with it. So I can't make sense of why people are trying to argue against having something more efficient and effective to use. There's literally no logical reason behind it, only people arguing for the sake of it. Must be American culture , argue about left and right. I don't get it. Here's a solution. Fight it or embrace and support it

3.2 Disruption. You may not in any way disrupt or interfere with the Game experience of other players, including the disruption of Square Enix's computers and servers.

Shout ads are a direct violation of this part of the tos, and people don't have the right to tell people their gameplay isn't disrupted, if a person feels it's disrupted
