4.01 Trade limit: Love it/Hate it Why/Why not?

[Enders]

I think it's great, less spam is always welcome.


So why didnt you just whisper them instead.

Because then someone else will ask the same question 30 seconds later.

Like that stops anything? You obviously haven't played since the patch was released. I can't tell you how many times I saw people asking the following:

What happened to my arrows?
How do I see my guild info now?
Where do I get my flying license?
I have to pay 5k to fly in Northrend again?
Where'd all my portals/teleports go?
How do I summon my pet?

No sooner does someone answer, than someone asks the SAME question again. Trade chat on my server's been really quiet not because of the limit, because you can only /facepalm so much before you just leave trade.

[Spectrez]

I dislike it. Even when I'm not trolling.

This.
I usually type fast and when I type
something long I would type it in like 3 or 4
different
segments.

Even though it does stop gold spammers and trolls. I hate it.

[Willing]

i love it. my trade chat is retarded, it's cut down on the gold spam big time. and the trolls. not gotten rid of them, but it helps.

[Cyphran]

The chat filter is annoying me honestly. I'm no spammer, but I type quickly and when talking in trade chat, rather than writing one max character limit message, I'll break it up to make it easier to read.

I do like to help, I'll answer any question I know the answer too (and often those I don't ). It's harder now.
The other thing that bugs me, is like some other posters, I tend to correct my grammar and spelling. It's harder now.

[Scarletreturns]

It's completely annoying and unnecessary. Before patch you could just ignore if someone is spamming, now I can't even look for a group and sell at the same time.

It should only be on for people who have been reported spamming multiple times, stupid move Blizzard.

[Littleraven]

should have been added a long time ago....EVERY other blizzard game that can be played online has this. why they just now decided to limit chat is beyond me

[Deleted]

Personally, I hate it.
When I have to write in long sentences, they tend to become mishmash.
So I usually just type like this.

-You have exceeded the maximum amount you can enter. Please wait a short time before entering again.
...
...

I had BadBoy before anyway. So there were nothing called goldsellers in my world.
But now I can't even give out advise to more than one person at a time.

-You have exceeded the maximum amount you can enter. Please wait a short time before entering again.
...
...

Effectively crippling my actual advise.

Catch my point. Very annoying when you had a good antispamming addon beforehand.

[Tikaru]

Trade became less retarded after the patch.

Limiting trade chat is the 2nd best feature of this patch, removing weapon skill is the 1st .

[Peroxide]

Perhaps a possible plus side will be people advertising in proper channels?

Maybe?
No?
=(

[Sneakysnado@Gmail.com]

It makes no real difference to me talking in chat, it does stop the wall of gold spammers though.

No, it doesn't. It barely puts a dent in them.

It's trade chat.

Not "talk about crappy movies" chat.

Not "talk about stupid anal jokes" chat.

Not "inform the masses about patch notes" chat.

It's only good if it stops kids from writing like that.

[Hegar]

I have actually found this a bit annoying. I've been unable to answer noob questions (i always try to help the noobs) a few times because of this.

I like this idea of restricting spam, but frostmourne is one of those servers where you either leave /2 or get SpamThrottle.

[DavidGX]

It's wonderful. No more 4-5 lines of macros from single person, or ASCII-picture spam.

This. Got tired of having to copy and paste that shit into tickets.

I don't understand how typing really fast makes people hit the enter button more often. In general I've very glad that people might learn to think for a few seconds before hitting that enter button. Typing the first thing that comes into your head and mashing the enter key as fast as you can, not proofreading, not bothering to see if you were coherent, not bothering to see if you were complete makes for a bad poster on a forum or in chat. I can type pretty fast myself, and I do make spelling errors, and I do sometimes form incomplete thoughts, but I PROOFREAD what I write since I know once I hit enter I can't take it back.

So Trade chat throttle cuts down significantly on

ASCII macros
Annoying multiline seller Macros
People who spam their LFM, WG, etc macros
Players who have conversations in public chat channels

It also hinders players who don't think before they hit enter.

As a result trade chat doesn't need to be throttled as much and you can actually view information without it getting pushed out of your chat window within a couple seconds.

Win Win Win Win...

So much win.

Try whisper, it has always worked for me.

[Jimusmc]

people still spam trade.

the throttle just pisses EVERYONE off.

[Thallidomaniac]

Well, at least I've learned to whisper people's answers to questions in trade chat so I don't get hit by the restricted messages limit.

[Thundercougr]

Trade chat limitation is what, 2 lines every 30 seconds now or some BS? How do you like it? Frankly, I hate it. It ruins my fun by not letting me

It does help spam, but nonetheless, I don't like it. How do you guys feel?

I have mixed feelings on it. I see the use of it, because it gets rid of annoying people like you. However, when there is a legitimate reason to reply consecutively and quickly (Answering questions, etc), it inhibits the usage.
