/Tell in dungeons

[Laifon]

I noticed this still isn't possible..

Is there any news regarding this or are we stuck in a duty without whispering people for ever?

This was widely protested during beta leading up to launch but despite it being ridiculous, it's not changing.

That could be the tagline of this game: "FFXIV! Despite it being ridiculous, it's not changing."

Think about how annoying it would be to get an RMT /tell mid dungeon.

Think how annoying it is that you have to call people out for not doing their job right and give advice in front of the whole party, only to have them not take even the best well-intentioned advice just because you just shamed them in front of 3-7 strangers.

This has to be one of the most idiotic design choices I've ever seen. It does so many bad things and solves nothing of what Yoshi-P said, I have no idea what he was thinking when he stated the reason, which was that he doesn't want people to be mean, what kind of dumb excuse is that when it has zero basis?

- People mean, abusive etc in party chat.
- With the above, it shames the person in front of everyone
- Because its party chat, more people get involved, becomes a fuck fest of arguing
- Discourages talking private with someone if you plan to do dungeons as you will have to stop talking

Imo, I think SE just built a crap system and are hiding this as an excuse for their laziness because the reasoning and justification is beyond pathetic.

This is the only thing that really ticks me off about the game.

this is a pretty ridiculous limitation.
AT THE VERY LEAST, one should be able to send a tell to someone on one's friendlist... I have to text via cellphone to my friend to coordinate things for when one or both of us are done running something.

Need to talk out of instance, make linkshell, add to linkshell before instance, talk outside of instance.

complete support

I know you can do this, but it's kind of a ridiculous workaround. Linkshells are intended to be a form of mass communication between players outside a FC---not just two people who should otherwise be able to communicate via /tell
/tells are the only real option for "private" chat.. not that we're doing anything scandalous but there are discussions that just don't pertain to or need to be heard by the entire FC or LS.

Think about how annoying it would be to get an RMT /tell mid dungeon.

Think of how annoying it is to have to put on hold private conversations every time you want to enter something instanced. Think of how annoying it is to be unable to whisper someone on your friend list to ask them to join you in something or to just chat. Think of how annoying it is to be cut off from a socializing feature in an MMO!
