Chat Time Stamp Option

Pretty much what the title says, it would be nice to have a time stamp option in chat. Notice that I said option for those people who don't want to use it. I don't like stuff forced on people when they don't want it.

I find myself answering stuff in guild chat that is old because I'm on another tab or I'm just busy with the game and a time stamp would be nice to help keep track of when something was said.
My concern can be measured in micro-give-a-craps.

    There are plenty of addons that do it. So it's already optional.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    Be nice not to have to update a starship enterprise fleet of addons every patch/minipatch to have basic functions like that, though. That's the OP's point.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    No reason it shouldn't be built in, but yeah, the add-on crew took care of it for the mods who apparently couldn't figure it out.

    And since they couldn't figure it out, it's just a matter of time until the next thing they randomly can't figure out breaks the add-on.

    It's that whole 'circle of life entropy' thing in action.

    ETA:
    It'd be nice to have at least an option 'ding' when we're specifically addressed in chat, too, but I aint holding me breath on dat one, neither.

    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.
