Guild Wars 2

I wonder how the Role Players deal with it. I’m a chatty person and stuck in the lobby of the clock tower and running around events is proving fun. What’s not fun is chatting to someone in /say whilst in the lobby and others are joining in but you can’t respond because you’ve been branded a spammer!

Fix it! I thought this was an MMO that wanted to build communities, not hinder them.

It really is annoying and has me sticking to guild chat now because what’s the point in getting to know other players in a social and annoying environment like Clock Tower if you can’t continue to chat to them between sessions?

Yeah, I ran into this problem the other day and it lasted an extremely long time. As an RP’er this is going to be a serious problem. They need to fix it. I understand its for anti-spamming but the amount is too low…

I totally get the anti-spam reason behind it but spammers are attacking us through the mail system, the only spam I’ve encountered in any of the main chats has been guild spam which is okay as the community tends to speak up if someone gets a little too persistent with their search for members.

For me, this is a real issue that’s really hindering my enjoyment of the game, especially as I was having fun in the clock tower lobby, the two to three hours I spent there and I’m still FALLING at the same jump!

Oh so that’s what it was! On the first day of the festival as I was standing near the new open world mini-dungeon where the last page is located, a guild mate came and we started chatting, he invited me to a party, and we kept talking in party chat. At some point when I was about to offer him to show the location of the jumping puzzle on this map, since he said he didn’t know they existed, I discovered my messages were not appearing in the chat anymore. I thought the chat was bugged but I guess I too was blocked by the system. I was bored anyway and since I could not help him with the puzzle location whilst being mute, I logged out.

If you do it on /say it’ll come up with a message to say that your text will not be transmitted due to ‘excessive messaging’ It lets you know which is just as infuriating as the text not appearing.

That system is sooo buggy. Generally I can go my whole play session blabbing away, but then the suppression kicks in at really weird times. I was chat-suppressed yesterday and had not said a single thing as far back as I could scroll. I was chat-suppressed the other day and the only thing I had said was “/say ty” for receiving revives (the rest was on voip).

Yet other times you can /say or /map or /team long conversations with no suppression.

The system is important, I suppose, for the health of our community. However, the system as implemented is rubbish.
