Howdy,

Personally, I like to know that a champ is still up 5 minutes after it started so I know whether to bother trying to reach it.

I also just saw someone get hassled for discussing the hunting event in world chat. Apparently it's spamming when it takes several lines to offer where to find current spawn.

I'm in favor of the ads restriction, but come on these aren't ads. Why bother having a world chat if we can only discuss any particular aspect of the game once an hour?

Regards,
Wil

1) 17.1. 13:00 Nelreth: anyone looking for osprey there's 4 in one spot
2) 17.1. 13:01 Nelreth: already submitted so i dont need
3) 17.1. 13:01 Nelreth: north of the town through the portal there's a bridge into sand/volcano area
4) 17.1. 13:01 Nelreth: full of osprey
5) 17.1. 13:02 Nelreth: i see like 7 within two screens lol


This could easily have been summed up as: Anyone looking for ospreys, there are 4 in one spot. Pm for directions.

Instead, there are 5 lines of text.

Ignoring the one "17.1. 13:01 Nelreth: already submitted so i dont need" that leaves 4.

line 1 - self explanatory.
line 2 - ignored
line 3 - ok, directions.
line 4 - unnecessary since it was covered in line 1.
line 5 - also unnecessary, as it was also covered in 1, and 4.

Btw: I just said something in chat. I didn't give an official warning or anything.

Perhaps it is a bit overboard. I'm sorry, and I'll try to improve for the future.

i understood perfectly well and i was not at all upset by it. i, as a member of the community should keep up on things like changes to rules anyway. no need to apologize at all
