Surely there were many players that never used the chyme sound for /tell in XI. Personally, I found out I could pay attention more to what was happening outside my chat log with the chyme on, not having to keep looking back just to check if someone was sending me a /tell and disrupting my concentration. For example, I would be watching a CS, and I hear the chyme, I have two options immediately, I look at the /tell because is one important enough and I was waiting for it, or, I have a fair idea how is talking to me and know it can wait till I finish the CS, but is already in the back of my mind and I will remember to check the chat log and see what was said, and not browse the chat log blindly just in case someone talked to me.
