RP shout ads are obstructive to chat and gameplay

[Doozer]

1.) Turn off shout chat. It's not like anything of value would be lost since 95% off what goes there in the big cities isn't just ads for venues, ads for RMT, or general crap-posting. I've played the game since like 4.1 and I can count on one hand the number of times that I've seen anything worthwhile in shout chat.

I don't know how you play this game, but shout chat is not useless. Like Limiloo said, shout is used for hunts, asking for help (like a raise in Eureka/Bozja), as well as people who don't seem to understand that just because the default colour is orange it's not actually the same as alliance chat.

Also, usefulness aside, how is completely blocking out one specific chat channel that's programmed into the game a solution to people who spam it? Why should everyone else pay the price of someone who's being irritating?
