So there's no way to configure log filter announcements? All or nothing?

What specific system messages are you seeing that should be ignored, specifically?

Item searches are deliberate, for example. Why would you need them if you never invoke /isearch in the first place?
Show recommendations have their own 'don't show me this' button in character configuration, as do those related to available achievements.
You can turn of a lot by going through the character configuration panels. No problem.

And where, oh where, did you read or hear about 'amazing customization options' for system messages in the general chat channel?

I'm not on the same train as OP; the spammy system messages are but a minor inconvenience for me, and I'm not looking into leveraging any "false advertising" angles.

But, for me, I'd shut off:

- Triple Triad is / isn't allowed in this area
- You've entered / left a sanctuary (this one's doubly spammy since there's an icon that indicates sanctuary)
- There's X number of new players in the party so X bonus to whatever Y and Z currency (big, center-screen message does the job)
- You've entered a FATE area, you need to sync your level in order to participate (again, big center-screen message with the same indication)
