Guild Wars 2

so i’m in a roughly unpopulated silverwastes, 20% complete. and i’m trying to taxi people, explain how the map works to new players, and get things organized for an epic fight. i’m branidhsing my bright blue commander tag, as i’m mostly concerned with blue base at this time. and i get suppressed. like 4 times. and i’m sure i’m not the only one annoyed to kittens with this kind of thing.

while a commander is tagged up, they should be incapable of suppression. the premise is that I’M COMMANDING, OF COURSE I’M TALKING ALOT.

Just as bad as not being able to put up a party description for LFG after providing a few taxis.

The problems that could come then are spammers with commander tags having no method of limiting them. Commanders should have a higher limit than non-commanders, but unlimited…probably not.

Yes, but what then about people who would abuse immunity to suppression for obnoxious spam? I’m not sure what ANet’s policy on that is, since suppression prevents that from happening. There’s always a flip side. Except maybe the LFG thing; I’ve yet to hear a good reason for that.

There’s always the squad channel that you can use, all you have to do is get people to join you as a commander and then you wont have this problem.

You expect the average zergling to make an actual effort that requires more than spam 1? I’ve been commanding worldbosses for quite some time now and that seems rather excessive :/
Don’t make commanders immune to spam filters but up the limit before filtering messages out and remove the filter from LFG for easier taxiing.

Doesn’t suppression only occur when you use the same phrase repeatedly? Try using more variety in the way you describe things? /shrug.

The people above already explained why it’d be a terrible idea to prevent suppression.

Its adorable that an average zergling listening to commander orders in /map chat is acceptable but asking them to take a couple seconds to go squad is just too much.

I understand the problem, I sympathize even… But I would not wish to give anyone the ability to spam.

i suspect a majority of it is the lfg taxi’ing. and reminding them every 2 seconds that you cant use aoes at red. oh look, another meteor shower…..

there’s an immensely simple solution to it too. separate lfg abuse suppression from chat suppression.

Even if you vary your wording, there is a threshold of messages over time. So you can still get suppressed, once you’ve reached that certain number of messages. And there isn’t an easy solution. I’ve partied with people and rotated out who says what, or just taken turns each speaking for a few minutes, as a workaround.
All people have to do is make sure squad chat is checked, and rt-click to join your squad. There still may be people who won’t or don’t want to join a squad, though.(Even though squads are the solution to this problem. Some people just aren’t aware, or won’t do it.)
