Get rid of Local and Trade Channels
Get rid of Local and Trade Channels altogether or get rid of them in every other small zone and mission zone. Only allow them in the major city areas.
If you see any flaws in this idea please explain reasons why you think it wouldn't work or post your ideas on how might solve this spam problem. Sorry if anyone has posted this idea already but I looked at the stickied thread and found none like this one. If there is one like this already please PM me with the correct thread to post or bump and if a forum moderator sees it is a remake of another idea please PM me and also delete this thread.

How will getting rid of channels help?
Anet has already "encouraged" traders to use the trade channel. What do you not want to see in the Local channel, people talking amongst each other? |

Eh... Local channel is not used only to make parties...
People talk in some outposts... not aonly about the game... You can not get rid of something that do not harms the game and its widely used. |

No, no... the banter you see in local is what gives towns their life. Take that away and you'd ruin the character of the towns. There was a group last night in Cavalon just sitting around, chatting in the local... the town would have been dead were it not for them. What about new people asking for help? You'd take away a great training aid for folks.
No, horrible idea, imo. |

completely disagree with this idea. i dont like spam outside of trade channel. But people should be able to talk to each other w/o having to group of be in a guild or whatnot. It is the charactor of the game and why I play.

the only that will get people to use the search window is if they allowed for more wording. most of the time you can barely fit what you want to say in it without having to leave out some words and hope ppl still know what you are talking about.

Only the trade channel
You would only have to get rid of the trade channel to get people to use the search tool. As of now, you dont see any people spamming wts and wtb in local chat, GW got rid of that with "Chat Channel Changes" And if someone were to try to sell in local, they would be critized by all, saying "Hey! noob, put it in the party search!"

The character limit in party search is WAY too limited to be used as a selling tool, or people might actually use it already...
Even if they fixed the party search, this is still a bad idea imo. |

/unsigned as hard as I possibly can.
I personally love to chat in-game, and there are times when I've needed to ask for help in small towns. Also, how are people in missions supposed to find each other if nobody knows who's grouping? Sure, Search Party, but that's a VERY limited space and plenty of people still don't use it. Also, what's the use of killing the trade channel? People sometimes have more to sell/offer than the SP window allows. Uncheck the channels if you don't want to see it. The rest of us will continue to socialize and keep the economy rolling. |

/notsigned.
Simply put: Why deprive everyone of the possibility to chat & tradechat in every minor outpost, if people who do not like the spamming on those channels can always turn them off and on as they please? As long as you are not forced to have it on and read it, I don't see why it shouldn't be there - it is fully optional, as it is. |

I don't have a problem with people chatting, trading, or even arranging to trade in a non-intrusive polite and sociable manner that does not prevent or normal chat communications.
What I think would improve things tremendously is if there were trade districts or auction houses. ANet does not want to retro-engineer this into the game. They have been fighting it and avoiding it for the entire 21 months that I have been a player. |

Alright, alright. I think the point is made. People generally disagree with this idea. Now some of you are starting to just slam the OP for the heck of it, which is a no-no.
We've a conclusion, so it's time for this thread to close. |
