There are some really obnoxious things I've seen popping up in chat. These need to be stomped ASAP.
- ASCII symbols in chat, especially block characters, to make messages stand out. Excessive punctuation for the same reason. All special characters not needed for the language of the zone you're in need to disabled entirely, and a single message doesn't need more than 10 punctuation characters in total.
- Shouts. I saw this for the first time today, and I was surprised you'd put it in the game in the first place. No one should be able to cover my screen with gigantic red letters. White chat boxes are nowhere near as obnoxious.
- Circumventing the anti-capslock feature with punctuation. You can put periods or whatever in front of your message in order to get all caps.
yeah i saw those for the first time today, the ASCII stuff. i'm all for getting rid of that. easily fixed, lets hope they implement it!
