I'm just curious - what would you prefer zone chat to be like? Serious question.

you guys miss my point. these are repeating messages. it means vampire and werewolfing arent working how it is supposed to be.
and there should be a dolmen group queueing or something.

[Edit to remove bait]

Dolmen group queuing? They can't even get dungeon queues to work properly.

Of all the things to be annoyed at in game, this is yours? Serious question.

Auto Invite works pretty reliably. We don't need ZOS getting involved.

i like to look at zone chat when someone writes something. but i stopped to check it anymore because i know that it is going to be about dolmens or bites. i will even close chat window for this reason. is this what u want? players to use zone chat only for stupid bites and dolmen groups?

Group queue is to place people in smaller instances, I can't imagine the strain that would added to it by trying to also matchmake group open world content.

We also disagree about the abundance of people asking for bites signaling a failing of the WW/Vamp system. The bit that I find to be rather lovely is that usually there is someone who will give those people a bite without charging them. That sort of thing helps build community. As the player giving the bite almost always gives a quick run down of what a player should do in order to level up their WW/Vamp.

I would rather Zos not micromanage what we can and can't say in chat any more than they have to, these sort of things are exactly why the ignore button exists. If they limit these messages, it also means that world boss pugs will also be stifled, or potentially people asking for help, or trying to trade/sell items as there is no way they could differentiate. The game already has spam features, but on your end they don't seem to be working because multiple players are saying the same thing.

If ignoring those players isn't something you're interested in doing, you can also change the settings on your chatbox to only show certain types of posts/info by selecting from the options presented in the settings tab. You can even setup multiple tabs and swap between them for when you're trying to perform a set task. Additionally there are chat add ons which add much more functionality as well. All of these solutions put the power squarely in your own hands to deal with as you see fit which is precisely how it should be handled.

I much prefer people requesting aid or trying to buy/sell in zone chat to the weirdnesss you see in some zones. *cough* stonefalls & auridon *cough*
