Anything under an additional $25 and I will be first in line. "It takes money out of the economy" Then make it more expensive. Lottery takes MUCH more money out of the economy, but it can be ignored / turned off. "It's to get your attention" You now have it. I want it stopped. I'm here to build and converse with people of like-minded character, not be screamed at by children saying "Look At MEEEEeeeeeeeeEEEE!" We do not care that your sports team won / lost, you beat someone in SG, you have more money than you have places to spend it, or that you want everyone on the entire Server to hear your conversation. You want to invite everyone to an event? If the Staff would deem it worthy enough, they could broadcast it on the Alert System... IF it was actually important "It's quite fun to read" To you, not everyone. Scream all you want to your friends. Stop screaming at everyone on the server. "Not until x is fixed" Why, because you have a pet project that affects you, does that mean that this is ALSO not allowed to be added to the list of suggestions? Everything else in ECC either has a cool down (/smelt, /tpa, /kit x, etc.), can be left (/leave g, /leave tr, lot messages, etc.), or can be ignored. Shouts override EVERYthing else, and there is not one single thing to be done to get away from them except [esc] [leave game]
You could press f1 or go into chat settings and turn of chat. but I don't think turning off chat is the solution as the community is the majority of ECC. Shouts should be ignorable or at least reduced.
How about allow a certain amount of shouts each minute? Say 5 shouts per minute. I suggest this because during events people like to have multiple shouts in order to advertise their events, but having to wait a cooldown in between each shout would not work. So, a minute is a fairly decent separation and 5 shouts isn't that annoying each minute, but would make the shout spam less while also allowing shouts to take place for events.
Why not ExtCommands? It's a fairly expensive feature, and makes sense because "Commands". It also is directly before a quite sought after feature, which would mean many people obtain this just in their moving up in ECC.
Simple solution is the fact that it is against the rules to spam shouts. Much like it's against the rules to spam chat/mail/commands. But, that doesn't mean we put a cool down on it. That's like only allowing people to talk very 5 seconds. -1
I don't like spammed shouts cuz what if a game administrators says an important thing and someone spam shouts it off the screen!?
considering inflation of the economy over the years.. I'd say raising the cost of shout to 5k or something should suffice. If anyone still wants to spend that much money then I, personally, would be fine with it.
Sounds like the outcome I want. Besides, it's only 20-30 minutes of making money. Since nobody can ignore shouts then making them expensive is an obvious solution, is it not?
Raising the price would help, but making it 5k/shout is a bit much. I could see around 2k being a thing as it is an excellent way to get money out, and I don't see many using it at 5k (which for some is great but for the server is not so great)
What could possibly be so important that it needs to override everyone else's conversation 5 times in one minute? Really? Every 12.5 seconds? Make the cool down once every minute. Or make it 5k each. I suggest both It would reduce the "accidental" spam, and people who are "advertising" might re-consider how much are they willing to spend to make sure the entire Server "heard" them... whether they would interested or not.
