Guild Wars 2

Please remove your suppressing feature. I was on the middle of doing the wurms right now as a commander and got suppressed and couldn’t tell people what we should be doing.

Change it to not allow someone to spam multiple lines too fast without actually suppressing. Spam prevention, not punishment.

I can’t think of any MMO that has ever prevented me from talking to people during a fight when I wasn’t spamming in any form. This is absurd. It´s an MMO, we have to talk.

Eh, there are pros and cons to removing the suppress feature. For one, there is no way to tell if someone is really trying to communicate, or intentionally disrupting the chat with spam. I’d be hesitant to remove the suppress feature for map chat, or even for /say.

That said, the cap on squad size should be removed, and commanders should never be suppressed while typing in their own squad chat.

I command consistently with about 40-50 people and I’ve NEVER been suppressed. If you’re spamming ‘Back, back back back’ or something equivalent then it’s understandable that you did get suppressed.

He’s talking about commanding at the new boss events, where often times you’re explaining the encounter and what to do to people who’ve never done it before. In those situations, the more detail you can include, the better, so that they’ll understand what to do, when, and why. It’s different from WvW where you can pretty much get by with "back, “incoming,” “push,” and so on, and everyone understands what you mean.

I was letting people know “red is filled” so they would stop going to it. That means if I was at one corner of the wurm, I’ll tell the people there red is filled. Then, as I moved to another corner, said again.

Saying that 2 or 3 times, along with speaking to people in map chat got me suppressed.

I’ve been suppressed a few times, it’s annoying.

I understand the need to avoid repetition in order to avoid suppression.

Just play with word formats rather than repeat and you will never be suppressed.

I do not agree that commanders should be suppression free, i have seen commanders that troll people in chat just for “lolz”.
