Chat Messages
I can vouch for that. Too much chat goes lost to useless red text that you read in the middle top of your screen anyway.
I don’t think anybody will look at their chat for this sort of information.
I wish that I could separate some game system messages from others. I WANT to know when a friend goes on or offline but to see that, I have to choose to see the stupid “you have looted 4 spider legs” or something. I also like to see the messages where my armor is damaged but “Your blah blah blah armor of the Soldier is damaged” is quickly pushed out of chat by damage logs, party chat, loot spam, and “that skill is recharging” spam.
What I have is a social tab (/G, /P, /Say, whispers) and then a combat tab (damage logs), then a loot spam-friends list-armor damage tab, and a WvW-centric tab (/T, /M, /G, /P and whispers) I generally turn off emotes on every tab and I still sometimes miss whispers or map chat because I may have changed tabs and forgot that some stuff isn’t showed.
