I don't really see the point. The shouts don't have very many spammers anymore because of the level limit, its mostly in the normal chats in Roumen where it's a problem and the block list takes care of that. As for cutting down on general chatter...isn't that the point of a MMO? Maybe you like to just grind, grind, grind...but I like the conversations that go on, for the most part.

It definitely makes for great debate. I can see and understand both sides of it.

My friends and I have talked about how people just get used to it. He was talking, initially, about other features that contained annoyances, and from WoW, but the general point was that we all get used to things, and when we get a break we're like "Wow I forgot how nice it could be without..." or "I was so used to this, I stopped thinking how nice it'd be if it were..."

Kind of akin to taking things for granted. Like some people near the ocean take the beach for granted and start hardly ever going until they move and then there like "I wish I woulda went more.."

The shortcuts can be really nice to. The system works, no doubt about that, but sometimes it'd be nice not to need it. When I'm in town chatting to someone in the same town, and whispering to my friend in a KQ I can easily miss something one of them said and it can be annoying, even doing that one little step of clicking to switch channels.

I dunno, it'd be nice to hear from more people what they think of this.
