Guild Wars 2

This is what happened just a few moments ago:

Although I know there are upcoming changes planned to make getting into fractals much easier, I decided to try and find a group anyway. Although I didn’t expect many responses, pretty soon I found a second person. So I happily changed my chat message to looking for 3 more. Over the next 10 minutes, 2 more people started trickling in. We asked our guilds and friends, and pretty soon, beyond my expectations, we were a 4-man group.

But then the chatfilter decided that things weren’t meant to be. We had already taken turns asking in map chat to avoid the ‘Excessive Messaging’ block, but by the time we got to 4 people, we were all blocked from usin the chat.

Realizing there was no way to get around it for the next hour or so, and having already asked our guilds and friends, we now realized there was no way to make it a 5-man team.

And thus, our run was thwarted on the brink of being able to start. Some decided to do something else, and within 30 seconds, I was all by myself again.

Thank you chatfilter!

So on behalf of all dungeoneering players, I beg you…please remove the filter from map chat.

PLEASE!

The chat filter gives us all headaches. I wonder if Anet would consider adjusting it to not kill chat for legitimate players?
