Active Linkshells and an FC can start to drown one another out.

I am more in favor of saving them with a macro option to switch. The same way the HUD layouts work.

That way if I'm just hanging out in a Hub area talking, I can use General for local stuff going on around me, Battle for Linkshells, Event for Crossworld Linkshells, and the final tab for my FC.

But then if I go into a dungeon or raid, I can get the battle one back to normal instead.

There really doesn't seem to be a reason why console can't support another tab, or the ability to save/restore filters the same way HUD does.

I mean, if a PC modder can give us something that honestly looks like it'd work wonderfully, then why can't the console players just get something as basic as saving different filter setups, for different situations?

I mean, the one called Gobchat looks pretty nice. Fully aware it might not be something SE wishes to implement. But at the same time, it seems like we could get at least a slight bit more.
