This is one thing that's always bothered me with guild wars, the time in between messages has to be like 5 seconds or me apart. I'm a fast typist and to me this seems like an eternity.

Can't it be disabled until you post like 4 messages simultaniously? It would make so much more sense.

Hockster What happened is that a HoH team allegedly had friends spam whispers to their opposing team causing a large lag spike.

Did any of you read that? I know this may seem harsh, but stop thinking about how it affects YOU. From the sounds of things, there is a bigger picture ( People Being Idiots) Don't blame A-Net for things that may have been caused by people in game ( Which I would suggest is the reason for most problems).

Just take it down a 1000, and let A-Net try to fix the issue.

Simple solution. The logs are Kept if such a thing really happened it should be a bannable offence since it can be considered explioting the game mechanics if it can be done at all. Make an example and let them whine if they dare on the forums, better since it will discourage would be explioters from trying to test the system. Cheaters should be deal with swiftly without the making others in the community suffer.

The current *fix* isnt really very smart.

Fix it again please.

For those of us who type upwards of 100 wpm, this is VERY frustrating. I'm trying to have a conversation with a friend, who's in a different mission, and I'm told that I've had excessive messaging? Just because of how fast I can type and send the message?

Bullocks!

You can set your status to Do Not Disturb, and not recieve any whispers.

Agree with the post argueing you above mine. And also.... what your saying is that because of one event, all fast typists should be punished because of 8 (count that, EIGHT people's behavior in pvp event) DO NOT DISTURB, when I pvp , I use it! Learn to use it, or dont complain! GG, ANET is horribly wrong in this case, and they need to fix this abomination that they created IMMEDIATELY. I cannot type to my alliance members and then switch to guild chat to discuss a topic without pausing for at least 10 secs, or it suppresses my guild chat for 30 secs +. And that is 30 secs too long! So you know what, I do blame ANET, and there isn't a BIGGER PICTURE behind it, its a TINY one, an 8v8 HoH match caused an issue that now effect PVE and PVP players alike! Hmmm... so its 2 million to 16? Wow, bad odds.... I think we win. Now go dig your hole a bit deeper, I welcome it, dig me up some amber chunks while your down there kthxbai.

Kurow · May 04, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

I too find this really annoying, cant talk to more than one person with out getting stopped atleast a couple times.

Activate DO NOT DISTURB in HoH...your suppposed to be concentraiting, not chatting....

Wow I'm srry but I have never seen a larger "It's all about me" thread on Guru.
I am quite sure that, this is not due to 1 event (An HoH Battle) I am positive if this is something they are fixing, then there is a Bigger Picture. It could also be a bug, which they are fixing. I think all of you who flamed me for pointing out what someone said was the possible reason, should get of your high horse. Also to the people who had to say that they type 100 words per minute, I have a great idea. Go Get the Guildwars Secretary's Edition, I hear you can get the title of Fastest Typing.

WhiteZombie · May 04, 2006, 05:37 PM // 17:37

change it back, please, for the love of god. every second thing i whisper in a conversation to a friend is considered spam. its terrible..

shadowfell · May 04, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

The spike whisper was always better than the repeated single party whisper anyhow, in the instance of say... someone scammed a friend of yours, gather up all the guildes and 3 2 1 spike SCAMMER! lol.. imagine their face when 40 or so of those from a different source pops up. You don't even have to worry about heal party afterwards.

Set to 'Do Not Disturb' ftw?

edit - others suggested that too
What I dont get is I see traders doing numbers/etc at the end of posts and spamming, maybe this hits that as well? But yeah with whispers and guild chat? The former ignore or do not disturb, the latter kick the idiot out of your guild

Seems like a bad move in general.

HawkofStorms · May 04, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

Yeah, I've noticed this too. It is very unfair for people who want to talk to friends and guildies. I know you want to keep spam down, but as it is, I can hardly even have a conversation.

xuemin · May 04, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

they should probably give us the option to not accept whispers from strangers (ie people not in your guild or buddy list) since they're usually the one who are doing the evil whisper spamming (depending on personal point of view of course)

Cybah · May 04, 2006, 08:21 PM // 20:21

agree

My Sweet Revenga · May 05, 2006, 12:10 AM // 00:10

simplest solution would probably be to just lock whispers within an HOH match to only those in the match. Isolate them from outside, problem solved. If you're in a match, no reason anybody from outside should be messaging you unless your wife is expecting or something....

Fargin Scotchsman · May 05, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

imo, anet's "fixes" r makin teh game a helluva lot worse. apperantely, the dun got enough peeps actually PLAYING the game before they "fix" it. also, the release of factions didnt do the one thing i wuz hopin fo, better smite monk spells. EVERY DAMN ONE IS A RIPOFF OF THE PROPHECIES SKILLZ!!!! WTFH ANET?!?! WTFH!!!??

Akhilleus · May 05, 2006, 01:33 AM // 01:33

as someone who types about 150 WPM this is really goddamn annoying.
im a major trader with alotta peopel that i talk to on a daily (if not hourly basis) having conversations with 5+ people is a thing that i regularly do; on top of the standard GC conversations that i often have at the same time, while talking on vent.
this crap is inifintly annoying; i cant talk with 1 person, let alone 2 or more, without getting 5 "you have been suppressed for excessive messaging" error crap 3 times for every 1 message that actually makes it through.
no thank you anet, please revoke this crap ASAP.
and its not just about fast typing, its about i should be able to hold as many conversations in different chat channels as i wish, without being hindered. i can understand it in allchat, or trade...but in my own guildchat/alliance chat/pms, where having conversations with multiple people is a must (otherwise you get pms askign why you are being so rude as to ignore them in the middle of a conversation) this little feature is beyond annoying.
if it isnt intentional, please remove it...if it is, please remove it. there is absolutly no good reason for this, what so ever.

Aeon221 · May 05, 2006, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Ex-mud pvper.If any of you type faster than me, I would be surprised as hell.

And this new thing discriminates against me hardcore. My legitimate typing does not need punishment. BS I tell you, BS.
