Ever wanted to send a tell in an instance?

[Xieveral]

Those that disagree, what are your reasons for that decision?

If someone really, really wanted to trash talk and be abusive they could still do so in party or trash talk behind their back in company or linkshell channels.

It is a focus issue? Everyone in the dungeon should focus on the task at hand instead of chatting it up. Company chat and linkshells are still available though, so exclusion of /tell is ineffective.

RMT ads clogging up your chatspace or distracting you from your duties? That is understandable but I don't see why /tell should be prohibited for such a reason.

Do you find it a waste of dev time to address such a small issue?

Or are you disagreeing out of spite?

I made my post in jest, but I honestly wouldn't mind if they did. The people I would whisper are usually in my runs already. Or in my FC. So for me at least I don't need it, but at the same time, I would still like to see it implemented. Sometimes I have conversations with random strangers especially if I am helping them or share a topic of interest.

Not sure, if you are in a dungeon and you are afford to spend time on chatting...... there is really something wrong here. Where is the respect to other 3 people in the party?

Don't pretend the dungeons are that hard. I run things constantly and chat with people in my FC/LS and /p simultaneously, often having very lively debates while completing instances. Not being able to send tells is an entirely arbitrary and unnecessary restriction that imposes a social limit on the vast majority of one's gameplay.

I think it also needs to be said that RMT was not the cause of the disabled /tell function, as this discussion and decision was made before launch. For many of us, in light of RMT, it's also a saving grace as a result. Yeah, it's an inconvenience, but it's seriously not as big of a deal as you people are making it out to be. Don't take minor inconveniences so seriously.

I don't know why you think I am making it out to be a big deal. My comment was directed at the fact it seems like every thread on this forum that offers a request/suggestion always leads to "NO DON'T LET THE RMT DO THIS."

I don't think rmt should ever be a part of the conversation when legit players are requesting something.

You realize people still could be chatting in FC/LS right? If they are going to chat they are already going to chat.

Its not about them being hard. Like she said, its about respect for the other people in your group.

Interacting with my party members and fulfilling our mutual goal of completing the instance is pretty darn respectful. Whether or not I'm also chatting with people in another chat channel has absolutely zero bearing on that.

I don't want those running the dungeon with me paying attention to anything other than their job. Same reason I don't want my employees talking on their cell phones while they work. Too many times, some maroon is more interested in getting his next show queued up on Netflix or going AFK with no warning; I don't need that compounded by fools sending tells.

If it were up to me, FC chat and linkshells would be banned as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of other people cannot pull off carrying on a one on one conversation while communicating/running a dungeon with a group. Some people think they can, but they don't.
