Guild Wars 2

I have never played a game, MMO or MUD, which did not have an alias feature. Considering the amount of text I enter, much of which is repeated on a regular basis, this is a must have feature. Extra credit will be given if the alias can contain color. Extra Extra credit: I write songs about the games I play. I sing the songs in the game. If I could have a macro that could contain an entire song and print out a line every 30 seconds or so, that would be awesome.

On a related note, the excessive message warning seems to be -much- easier to trigger now. I generally start to get it 3/4 of the way through a song. I also have a char who is a hyperactive girl and with her, I get it -all- the time. It’s bad enough that I can trigger this while singing a song or RPing a char that talks too fast, but does it -have- to spam in every chat window? Please!

An enhanced version of aliases would also be appreciated. In MUDs, you could create user scripts that allowed you to chain any valid /command together and many of the /commands had variables.

For example, I had a user script that would take a text string as a parameter and send it to all of my contacts at once. In GW2, I have to do this manually.

And before you say, ‘This can be abused’, -anything- can be abused and it is easy enough to report/block an abuser. A simple solution would be for a person to authorize being added to someone’s friend list, which is pretty common everywhere else.
