Default Extremely Simple Spam Reduction

Have the client collapse identical lines that occur one after the other, there's no reason to ever have the client display identical lines in rapid fire.

That would work. But I remember a few months ago the spam was the following:

WTS Perfect Shield handle of fortitude01
WTS Perfect Shield handle of fortitude02
WTS Perfect Shield handle of fortitude03
WTS Perfect Shield handle of fortitude04

Once that starts back up again your idea stops working. But then it should be easy for ANET to tell the difference between the enter-up-enter people and the people using a bot, because the bot will do it faster.

I'd also suggest that if its been over 30 seconds since the last unsuppressed line, it gets displayed. Also if someone says something between repeated lines, the repeated remains suppressed.

Also give us the option to turn it off. Not that I can think of a reason to turn it off.

Wow, I never woulda thought of that.

but then it would become...

WTB Shield.
WTB Sheild..
WTB Sheild...
WTB Sheild....
WTB Sheild......

Something like that.

But then they'd have to stop and type the extra dot, giving us a whole 1/100th of a second without spam!

Yay!

Yup.

Want a good thing? Make a right-click meu popup in names at chat panel, with some commands, like:

Invite
Whisper
Ignore
Add friend
Trade
Select
Copy name
etc...

And other possible commands to do with other characters.
