There realy needs to be a chat chanel for the whole land ,Zorai is particularly bad here as every city/town is in the lowest region and on/very close to a border. People (once >lvl 50) will just pop into town drop off mats/ craft for 5 mins and then theyre off into another region (having spent very little time in the heart of the community)
/Tells Grrrrrr maybe ok if youre a full time crafter but if you want "a life" doing anything else ingame then they are a real pain in the .... , whats needed is a filter/spam blocker system so you can go out n hunt/travel/heal your team in piece without a tell popping stealing focus (target) or worse another tell and reseting your menus as you type "busy healing team atm..." *team respawn*. Id like to have options such as DND (do not disturb) all tells blocked ,Guild only , Friends only , Guild and Friends ,ALL allowed also a limit on the number active at any one time with a "Busy" msg returned to all others -maybe a "call back" system would be needed though? another option would be to disable pop ups and have Tells as new chat channels instead -far less distracting (if they dont take focus)
Anyways ive wondered abit from the topic but I wont be crafting out of guild until a TELL blocker is implemented and wont "sell to players" through a merchant unless I can do it anonymously (this only leads to your name becoming known and more of those annoying Tells Grrrrr)
Completely agree with this!!!!!!!
We need a 'Leave me alone option!'
I have almost got to the point after receiving over 15 tells while trying to take part in the event last night, of stoping crafting 'retail'.
I love helping people, I love crafting.....
But this is becoming the norm....
Customer: Hi
Neun: Hello
Customer: I hear you craft armour, are you busy?
Neun: Yes, I many healing a group atm
Customer: oh okay.
2 mins later
Customer: What quality lvl do you make?
Neun: 556745
Customer: ?
Neun: Thanks, my whole group is now dead and we are respawning!
Customer: can you make light?
Neun: I have now got 280k DP, which part of I am busy did you not understand?
Customer: with HP boost?
Neun is now offline....
Put it this way, this is a polite version of some of the tells I get and is to make a point...
I don't just sit in FH and have resources magic themselves in to my bag....
1. When I am digging a tell just as you need to Stop current action to avoid a 2k damage explosion ... is more than a little anoying!
2. When you are healing the pop window - messes up you healing = TEAM DEAD
3. I can take orders while I fight in a group, but solo = death!!!
I want to be able to control my methods of communication!
a simple solution would be to add a tab to the chat window with the 'tellers' name on it, like TEAM, and have the message appear in the 'USER' windows like other messages.
Simple and effective.
