You don't need that message in order to know you can go in UW/FoW.

You can easily buy scrolls which defeats the purpose of having those favor...

Meanwhile for HA'ers, it actually helps, you can see who is winning, and get yourself ready for buildwars with them to kick them out of halls.

The best option I could see if, just being able to turn events off, just like Trade/Ally/Guild Chat, have one check box stuff under the Options Menu (F9) that could say, " PvE Events Notification" and another saying "PvP Events Notification"
But chances of such actions being taken by the 2 developers are slim to none because this is not a issue..

Its 1 line that pops every 12 minutes during active hours. So I'm pretty sure you can endure that massive amount of spam. Unlike when you get someone trying to be cool and bomb status with 3-4 titles getting maxed... and that is annoying specially when you are having a conversation. Just takes space of the limited space we already have.

I wish every title was broadcast everywhere for a constant bombardment of other peoples' achievements.

None of the messages bother me.

Or, you can use the /favor command.

None of the broadcast messages are really needed, expecially since you automatically get to know how many minutes of favor are left, or how many accomplishments are needed to receive favor, as soon as you enter one of the outposts that provide access to UW/FoW.

Point is, maxed titles aren't broadcast everywhere, while winners in HoH are. So it's 1 line you're FORCED to endure, against many you can easily avoid.

I'd get rid of both, but as you said, I don't expect it to happen.

Endure: (1) weather: face and withstand with courage; "She braved the elements"
(2) survive: continue to live through hardship or adversity
(3) suffer: undergo or be subjected to
(4) prevail: continue to exist

Thank heavens you're strong enough to withstand the constant battery of green text. God bless you for your bravery in the face of such harsh torture.

For the first paragraph, all you know is either the guild's name and tag or the leader's name, nothing on the group composition, you'd have to watch the recording to see what they're running.

For the second, sadly, the message is a part of the system message, they'd have to reprogram the message to another channel, but that would be nice.

I'd love to see the message, along with the title maxing put on a removable channel...well, I'd love for the whole chat system to get upgraded really, but at this point in GW's life, I doubt that will ever happen.

It's a shame to see so many posts in here that could be deleted.

lol, why would you want to get rid of the HoH winner status update. it Gives the guilds/chars reputation. if i see a decent guild holding halls a lot i am more likely to want to run with them than a guild who all bought thier r12 accounts lol.

I agree on this. On the other hand, it has absolutely no added value to most players. (i.d. if you play PvE, you will not care because it does not affect you, if you play PvP, the same thing is true, unless you are one of 8-16 to go to the Hall of Heroes next) Also, it is not by any means an achievement, especially since the game is really, really dead.
Concluding, while it has absolutely no added-value besides having funny names, there is no reason for removing it. As for keeping it: funny names are funny.

Someone makes a modest accomplishment and it is broadcast to people who are jealous. Should we also stop it from saying "John Doe has achieved God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals" to take away his 10 seconds of fame?

And it only happens once every 12 minutes as opposed to title spam. I don't think that even justifies a thread.

Some people are interested in the length of "favor" and some people are interested of who is holding?

You know, it's called "quotation".

"quote" /kw????t/???

??? verb
1 - repeat or copy out (a passage from a text or speech by another).
??? repeat a passage or statement from.
