Um.... isn't an MMORPG based around interacting with other people, which can basically only be done through chat? Don't get me wrong, some people annoy the hell out of me when spamming shit with full shout, but I don't mind people chatting in shout as long as they have something interesting to say.

I myself have a full shout, and it's fun to fool around with.

It's certainly a matter of personal opinion.

How often do you take up a megaphone when all you want to do is chat with your friend?

I think chatting should be done with normal chatting, or even in the party. Just like in real life, get together if you want to chat (so you can speak normally), or use the phone (= messenger).

On the other hand, I do seem to remember reading rules that allowed normal chatting via full shout. I guess that's where the cash shop comes into play --- you don't really want to make rules that prevent people from paying hard $$$.

Recently, someone spammed some website with a trojan or other scam; that was really bad since he basically flodded the messenger with this crap. The GMs did... nothing. Or maybe they checked whether he paid for the full shout or hacked it.


Heck, I'm even getting annoyied by the GMs spamming Notices for their stupid little plays (*) --- I can filter shouts, but I can't seem ti filter notices. Yet these are the most irrelevant things in the game --- Guilds, Guildwars, Bounties and GM plays are the things I'm definitely not interested in.

The Halloween "Event" was even worse; they spammed stuff on the OTHER servers as well. I've never seen Invasion messages before, probably because I don't go there, but that time they apparently spammed it to every player on the cluster.

So, full shout is pretty harmless in the end. I actually like full shout; it seems to be the best way to find a party; I just wait a bit and watch the shouts.




(*) And they are even too dumb to do it right --- they like to keep spamming "tell me" and "find me" and stuff, but they hardly ever tell their name... it only says [Notice], instead of [Name].
