I really don't understand why you're being bothered by sound effects at all. They're really not that annoying unless you don't have thick skin. then...rip you.
In all honesty, if someone's spamming macros in a dungeon, ask them to stop. If they don't and they're doing it on purpose, vote kick.

Unfortunately, I don't see SE providing such option as it benefits most people.


like -shrug- easiest solution yet.
Some of your examples are retarded, sorry. Let's go over them:
For example, take the WAR who spams 1-2 sound effects every time they use Berserk and/or want their resulting Pacify to be Esuna'd.
Healers aren't looking at warriors 24/7. It's a DPS boost for warriors that have a downside. They're letting you know if you can esuna or not.

Or the SCH/SMN whose Virus and/or Eye for an Eye triggers a sound effect every time.
Virus tells the healers/SMN/BLM that it's been casted on said target, and will need to look out for the anti-body/immunization. Eye for an Eye is there so they don't override/waste the existing EoE.

...causing the WHM to raise him with a sound effect macro.
You want healers who don't know how to mana manage (or even summoners, goddamn.) to resurrect a target that's already in the process of being ressed? Unless you want your tanks to die, 1 healer resses while the other heals, Or in a special case, SMN resses.

The only ones I agree with you are:
Or the BRD who uses sound effects to let you know they just used Blunt Arrow. Again. And again, because they're using it as part of their DPS rotation....
Add to that the Ninja who just applied his 10 second debuff with a sound effect and the DRG who's lying dead on the floor,
bards, it's not a buff. stop pls.
Ninjas, there's a big animation that comes with TA, pls. We can see it.

as for the DRG, lol.

If they're spamming it to annoy you, go look at the beginning of my post.
