I’m not really sure, maybe I might be the only one that is bothered by it, but as of late more and more people seem to be using the most obnoxious minis that are currently available in game.
Now I do not object to having everyone run around with their personal little ghost, toxic hybrid or bananas (to just name a few). What does annoy me greatly though is the constant noise pollution. Not only in cities, but at almost every vendor and obviously in Heart of the Mists.
The only way to counteract that would be to turn off the Effects Volume in game and I don’t know about all of you but personally I do like hearing my own skill effects go off and also in PvP as well as PvE this is a vital element.
So the suggestion to fix this can be quite simple. Move minis to their own slider, or if in fear of complicating things bundle them in with Player Instruments and the problem is solved.
