/Tell Options

[Grimmel]

I've seen countless times people forgetting that their Busy status disables tells, let alone a system without a bright red icon on your name.

Ever thought that some people play the game without displaying their name and the names of others?

All in all I'm done arguing with you because you seem to offer no alternative solution to this being implemented which makes your counter arguments; counter productive. If you can come up with a viable alternative solution, then maybe we'll talk. But so far all I see if you complaining and insulting people by calling them names. And quite frankly; your sarcasm in the majority of your responses is unwarranted.

Snip.

Again there is a simple fix if SE were to add this, a /tell is disabled feature. It wouldn't be all that hard for them to add something next to the chat box or on the server info letting players know they have /tell disabled.

Or SE could add another feature if you have tells disabled, to let you know when you try to send a tell you have incoming tells disabled. ex "/tell cloud hey can I join your FC? then a system message pops up and says "You currently have incoming tells disabled, and will not be able to receive any" something like that.


You're right that not everyone will turn the filter on/off when they need it, But as I said if SE added something to let you know in the system it would be fine. System Messages would do just fine.



Edit- Also wanted to say something.

Lets say we had an option to turn tells off, You said there could be issues when you are trying to recruit, sell/buy, or do party finder. When you /sh for FC recruitment you could simply do: "/sh FC LFM blah blah blah /tell ? for details" Just add "please have /tell enabled". Same goes for your FC page add have tells enabled if you apply. You can also add that to your PF details when you want to buy/sell.

Doesn't matter what you fools think of my feedback on this thread, this will never happen, so get your minds off of it.

/thread.

Hey hey calm down tough guy. Y so serious?

Because the implementation of this "thing" would have huge consequences that supporters of this thread are not willing/able to see. This would ruin market and recruiting, they just won't admit it because they're so bothered by the RMT.

People want control. So since SE is doing little to nothing, people want to take control over the situation.

As soon as SE comes to their senses and fixes the issue, people will no longer care. SE is very big on community so I highly doubt they would put anything in game as restrictive as this. They just, historically, take their time to deal with stuff like this.

Well it may or may not. But as far as I can tell none of us here can actually do anything but make suggestions. Why not try to adapt what you can to avoid the problem you see? Or perhaps try to explain the position. I don't know much but I know verbal jabs gets us no where?

You're right, but it still doesn't change the fact that the only people who applaud this kind of suggestion, are people who confine themselves with their FC/LS, don't craft, don't trade and don't recruit and it also doesn't change the fact that the more people who stand by it, the more chances Square would even consider this, which I'm 99% sure they won't. But I've failed many HQs at 99%...

They also put points like "Oh, you can just take it off whenever" - But no, nobody would ever put random tells on. They wouldn't even remember to do it while in PF because it's so convinient.

...Look up Loki Bludcraven on the Lodestone and tell me I don't craft and offer my crafting services. Tell me I'm not still recruiting for my Free Company. Tell me I'm some recluse who doesn't use party finder to search for content and shout for things. Go on. Be THAT person that feels pointing the finger was the worst thing they could have possibly done.

If this were to be implemented; I would take off the option so I could get random tells because I'm not some idiot who forgets what options I enable.

I wouldn't be using this, because RMT really isn't too bad on my server (yet at least), but this would be an easy change that could help people with lots of RMT spam.

It should then only be for when you use /busy or something, because otherwise problems will arise just like Lyzern said.

It would still only be a very temporary "solution" for some people, because I actually use /tell outside of LS, FC and friends list more than with players within them... I talk to them in whatever chat they're in (the friends I talk to, are all in FC or in some of my LS').

That's why I wouldn't use it, but then again... I consider RMT "spam" every 30 mins, to be a lot, and I usually don't get that many.

[Gilraen]

When I'm dealing with a crafter I only use /t for a few minutes to work out location, or I go to where I see the crafter often so I can instead talk in /s because they are literally right there. There's no reason to use /t once you're right next to eachother. This option... is for when you aren't expecting to be using /t anytime soon. Yes, people will forget they have it on. That's a given, as you said about /busy, but unless these people are blithering idiots they're not going to completely forget about it. I have minion and pet targeting turned off, I know this. I set it. If I want to use minion functions I have to go into options and turn them back on, but that takes all of a few seconds. It's not some 'have to log in again' kind of setting.
