Curse

Good, we have taken care of trade offers (If you see trader offering in local, please report for chocolate cookie

) but I'm fed up with posts like: Join Holy Eternal Dragonlord Vegeta Hero Knights! We have GH, 1k Kurz faction etc. It always breaks a good chat in social places like Shing Jea (American is REALLY social), Temple of Balthazar (Obi Noob Kenobi ^^) and many, many other lovely places. But to the point:

I want Recruit channel for Guild Recruitments. We all hate Guild Recruitment spamming in local, don't we?

Turn off local channel.

Anyways.../signed. Is a good idea. But it would be better if people get banned if post recruiting messages in the Local Channel. Only in Guild Recruitment.

Recruit channel is a good idea, but i doubt people will take note if we ever get one and still spam in local chat.

They've needed this for ages. I'm sick of trying to help someone in Ascalon and having my speech replaced by 'We have 3 billion Luxon/Kurxick faction, join us!' spam.

I keep All chat off by default, but signed.

Most guilds suck; it's a shame they don't realize this

It is annoying. And for those seriously looking for a guild would have to cut through all the crap that is said in local-this would streamline it I think.

Yep. Local off 99%. It wasn't so bad in the early year of the game...but it has gotten out of hand. Most people just want to play and already have a guild. Those that don't would benefit from a channel more than they would from spam.

While I have no real argument against this, what happens when we request enough channels that local chat should just be deleted? The next one I expect to see a request for is a runner channel, farming channel, and questing channel. Hmm isn't that essentially what they did in the party search window (without the runner portion) that no one does. The guild recruiting piece is even in that already.

I hate it when alot of the good conversations get interrupted by a 3+ line message about some stupid guild. Thing is, you do need multiple channels, since it would make stuff easier. Farming channel, running channel, and help for quests, etc. And local is just for talking, with more channels, it's easier to be organized and find what you're looking for faster and easier.

The Channels fail to work and probably always will fail because of the uncertainty principal.
ie you become convinced you are not reaching people because they don't have that channel enabled.

I am selling in the trade chat and no one is buying so then you start thinking maybe your missing customers so you spam general chat.

Ok to be clear I don't do it but many do and its the same with all the channels you convince yourself that general is the place to be to reach everyone.

It's not right and it's certainly not polite but it will probably always happen, unless someone has a brilliant plan that accounts for idiots.

Making trading and recruiting happen in a form other than chat might be a way forward, but how to implement it ?
Some kind of notice board perhaps that keeps your commercial allive as long as you remain in that town.

People have to click on the board to read what's there.

if the sellers got kicked out so should the recruiters....peace in the all chat at last

/signed better than being annoyed by guilds proclaiming their amazing stockpiles of faction.

legion_rat · Mar 11, 2008, 02:50 AM // 02:50

This should have been in long ago

The other way to combat this would make it harder to create guilds. I think people find it hard to get/keep members as any tom, dick or harry can start a guild.

Darkobra · Mar 13, 2008, 02:16 PM // 14:16

Join my guild! We have a cape so THAT MEANS WE PRO!

Yeah, I'd love it if they had their own channel.

We also have a hall and we do PvE/PvP ( AB) so THAT MEANS WE REALLY PRO!

/signed i said we needed this long ago for a long time in game. everyone always said turn local off which doesnt help me at all.

guilds who recruit in local chat are trash anyways and joining them is a waste of time.

Get them out of local chat.
