Guild Wars 2

I would love to see the “System Messages” chat toggle be separated into two distinct options:

• “Status Messages” should let you know when people on your friend list log in, log out, and change their Away/LFG status.

• “Inventory Messages” should list items you receive (which currently includes unequipping an item, picking up loot, crafting, etc.).

Having both of these together — which is how it is currently implemented — means my chat log is continually spammed with item messages (particularly if I’m crafting), when all I really want is to know when my friends are logging in and out.

You can make two tabs one for chat one for system messages

You can make two tabs one for chat one for system messages

Yes, I can.

This doesn’t solve the problem, because I’ll constantly have to check the other tab to see if someone has logged on since last I looked. Similarly, I could constantly keep checking my friend list and see if people are on.

What I’m looking for (and what I’m used to other online games providing) is to be notified when a friend comes online even when I’m not constantly checking for it, and without being spammed by loot info.
