Just that that isn't at all important in 4 player content when there's only one person who has the skill in the first place, and no fight where E4E would ever be vital. And as I mentioned, Bards who bring on a sound effect every time they Blunt Arrow a random target for DPS serve no purpose at all, either. If people won't stop trying to "get my attention" to stupid stuff, then I'd like to be able to simply mute those annoying sounds. And since people won't stop and there's no way to blacklist them, I don't think asking for this option is wrong.

The point of making it an option is so that you can enable/disable it as you see fit. Enable it for fights where they may be useful, keep it disabled for all the rest, which constitutes 90% of the game. I'd rather not suffer through the plethora of useless sound notifications in trivial content just because there may be the occasional use for a sound effect in content I'm not currently involved in.
