Chat filter suggestion

Censor the strings "Alienware" and "First MMO" in area chat, and silence anyone who should utter them for [2 raised to the power of the number of repeated offences] minutes.

Lines containing these strings serve no one and ruin whatever conversation was about to start (albeit likely to be some misshapen foetus of a conversation).

I'm not sure if I'm joking or not :/

[Obviously I know this is not the kind of thing that gets implemented lol]

Better suggestion(?): Don't censor anything. Change it into different words instead.

Alienware becomes OverpricedPC or something similar

WoW, GW, Guild Wars, Diablo 3 becomes NotTERA

Use the damn block command.

You still get the first message, and you have to see at least one Alienware message before realizing you have to block another person.

And I don't want to disable /a, because every so often you do get a conversation struck up which makes the game a little more enjoyable.

You don't like the Alienware/First MMO messages because they are by trolls, for trolls and serve no purpose. Ergo, no other message by that same person is going to be magically rainbows and butterflies.

Your system:

See trolls by person all the time. You cannot block every word.

"Hey guys you should get a ####### computer, they are the best." You're going to tell me you don't already know that that word is Alienware? The block just served no purpose except to physically stop the word that you already know from being shown.

Current system:

See troll once. Block. Never see that waste of space again.

You know you guys don't have to read area chat, right? I can't remember the last time I played a game and the general chat was worth reading.

I would keep using block if they increased the list cap size. There are so many annoying trolls on Basilisk Crag that my list capped out after just 3 days.

#1 general chat is amazing its a fantastic way to waste time when your bored and get people like you mad

#2 if u block every troll you see do u even have any one left to play with? and I hope the block list has a cap because people like you are just wasting server space with crap!

#3 just shut it off and GTFO of my general chat with your QQ just because you cant afford an alienware
