Angry How many people want a-net to ban yeti sounds?

Anyone who has ever been in a district with a bunch of yeti tonics spamming the /sit and escape stuff would totally agree with this, why should we have to turn our effects off just because some people find it funny to annoy other people?

Mini pets don't make noises in towns so why do tonics? A random noise every now and then wouldn't be a problem but come on!

BAN THEM?

Annoying people in town is always going to happen, be it dumb Yeti sounds or spamming your pointless zrank. Easier to just turn off sounds.

A feature that turns off the sounds made by tonics would be even better.

I happen to enjoy the ambient sound in GW, but this Yeti Bullshit has GOT to go...

You can solve the problem in one of two ways:

1) Ban the idiots
2) Prevent the idiocy (in this case, by removing the sound)

Since ANet is reluctant to expend the costs necessary to detect and ban, #2 is the only viable option.

It'd be OK for the Yetis to still grunt randomly.

I too enjoy ambient sounds, but Anet really needs to think things through some times.....and if we have learned anything from 3.5 years of GW, it's that anything that CAN be abused, WILL be abused

I agree, the Yeti noises are old but I don't see them happening as often as they were. Agreed, /signed

I don't have a yeti tonic. I like it, but haven't run into anyone being a dork about it annoying people either. I have seen any number of morons spamming up the emote chat with their masturbations which are equally annoying though.

I like #1 Ban anyone reported for spamming it up. They'd stop after a temp ban I would imagine. 2) Would love it but disagree with removing sound.

Those who complain do not deserve what they want.
Plus there are so many ways to avoid it (sound down, change dis, ect) and it is a freaking game, this should not bother you.

Two things you can do to avoid Yeti sounds:

1. Turn your effects volume down.
2. Change districts.

Pick one.

Yes it should go. I believe this is an ANet oversight on how people with yeti tonic can abuse it to annoy surrounding people in town within the same district.

They actually have an emote with sound which they can spam over and over. Don't tell me hearing that sound continuously lasting for who knows when the guy wants to give up, is not annoying.
