Repetitious Character Speech on buff

I’m playing a Mesmer, and each time the player receives the swiftness buff from the Signet of Inspiration she says the phrase “I could outrun a centaur!” She says this phrase over and over again, literally every 30 seconds when the buff is cast. It’s extremely annoying and unnecessary. There is a visual of the buff when it’s enabled so you don’t need an annoying audio event to be called as well.

I would suggest an option in the audio portion of the UI to disable player announcements. That way they don’t say other dumb unnecessary phrases randomly. Since when did this become a defacto standard in the gaming industry. Sometimes a player should just be silent. You don’t need to loop audio events, it’s simply not necessary, and only a filler for content.
