Yss 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Whats up with new " You cannot speak for next 60 seconds " rule? Its really annoying for example when i spam(3-4times) rocket helmet macro which says target name everytime i press it (for example when i'm stunned and i wanna use it right away without losing 0,1 sec), so people wont break it,, 3-4 times to make sure it lands, and then i get chat ban again. Same with " EFC GOING RAMP " for example on BGs i do it often multiple times with ctrl+shift+P so people notice it on chat and react from between the lines, and chat banned again.. Thats just annoying AF.. Cant communicate at all, even if u whisper back to multiple persons too fast (answering whispers) u get chat banned again... Id apperciate if u re-consider this non-blizzlike feature, i rate 0/5. Also i believe that it will ENCOURAGE people to not use English, if result is getting 60sec-2hour mute, majority of players are CN/RU atleast, so why not advertise in other languages? And use it everywhere? I think its splitting community even more. Asked exact same thing on Discord "HELP" and GM answer was; "So you want to be spammed is what you are saying? You are literally doing what the gold sellers are doing, you made a macro that albeit has its merits, is being spammed and filling up the chat ergo, the system is doing its job" Well first of all i am not doing what gold sellers are doing, maybe in some sort of code language, but not as player. Yes i'm saying multiple times EFC location on chat becouse its hard to notice it in middle of chaos on BG, nothing bad on it, thats why we have chat on BG so we can communicate. Or a macro that says " %t sheeped, helmeted, silenced " or w,e who cares, i play this game so much and i barely never see anyone just spamming this kind of stuff for "fun", And when i say barely never.. I mean never... Only situations where some people made 10/15 man WSG/AB grp to farm other premade, they used to spam emotes, but not rocket helmet macros, or spammed chat with " EFC GY " & " RAMP " & " GY " & " RAMP, you get my point? And well... Earlier today i was whispering manually without any kind of copy paste to 3 people and i still got chatbanned.. its so hilarious. I understand its good if u can work VS gold sellers or whatever u think u solved with it, but its causing some damage as well. I still get whispered by gold sellers, i still ignore them like i ignored always since very early retail days, theres addons to extend ur ignore list aswell. I dont care about them whispering me, they will always whisper me, before this new system, and after it. Just sucks to be a victim myself here, earlier they didnt hurt me, but now they do becouse they got this system added. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I dont know... Just some thoughts... Tried to discuss about it but couldnt agree , nothing personal, I hope everyone could think about cons and negatives... getting whispered by gold sellers wont stop anyways, I love it when i meet new battleground leaders trying to lead people with new strategies, but that time is over, becouse they are doing exactly what gold sellers are doing?? **Sigh** And while they are chat banned gold sellers still whisper em.. and u must read it, and even if u are pissed u cant answer to real spammers, gold sellers, becouse you tried to do something good for your team and got marked as one urself. Any suggestions or ideas people? "When i played retail i got spammed on BGs by leaders and defenders and offense groups on raid warning to get noticed by whats happening." Add; World pvp raids / Dungeon pve raids, not only retail but every server...^^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jakira-Today at 5:30 AM yeah and there wasn't any gold spam on retail either so.. not that much even if there was Edited January 2, 2017 by Yss 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molotov 4 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 The spam filter saves me getting spammed. I like it. I don't spam and don't try to sell gold. Never been muted as a result. Posting 5 of the same thing in general is just inconsiderate. 60 seconds to cool off is fine. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats your in-game nick if that's the case, must be something very special if u are not getting whispered by gold sellers, i wonder?

Simple really, first message that I get, I ignore. Then it often takes hours for another to show up. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bepartofthis 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 I can see the benefits of both using a mute mechanism and not using it - but what's really buggy at moment unfortunately is that even when, for example, you want to share with the group the Damage Meter statistics, only the first two lines go through and then you're silenced. I am sure it will be fixed as soon as possible. :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Overtime 6 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 So many macros give mute now :( 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Extended 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 I agree to some extent that it is bad, but I wouldn't ask for it to be removed. I get banned for just replying to people because I type too fast. I've gotten 120 WPM - Words Per Minute - at the site 'typeracer' so this frustrates me SO MUCH. This is in place though to stop the amount of whispers from Gold Sellers, which probably does work as intended. Shame that the system can't individually identify these Gold Sellers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zargoth 3 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 The problem here is not the mute mechanism but where it is being applied. I can understand it being used for General, Trade, World, and even whispers but it is also being used on user-created channels that many addons use to communicate to each other. Battleground chat should definitely be exempt from this mechanism. It is highly unlikely that a gold spammer is going to wander into a BG to advertise. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
