I've had it filtered off since about the 2nd week of playing.

Welcome Izzni. yes, some folks here are "long past settled in". And somehow feel entitled to the monitor discussions of repeated topics here. Its a public forum. Post whatever you want bro. It doesn't bother most folks here.

I for one keep /ooc chat hide in a minimized window because I can't figure out a better way to hide it. however, I do peek at it regularly for entertainment purposes only. It can be quite funny at times...just like this forum.

I wish guides or something more common than admins could mute people like that :(

It just needs a strict filter for a kick/30 sec ban/1 hour ban/1 day ban or some kind of progression so it can still be utilized to assist in groups/actions because of the low pop but won't be as useful as a spam/constant conversation engine.

It took me longer to finally do that. I can't believe how much more pleasant the game is without it.

Yep :D

i've tried so hard to filter it off, but its like a horrible train wreck. i just can't turn off.

Exactly.

Please limit /ooc to level 10+ or take away the global nature.

If only you could opt-out somehow.

You dipshits keep using that argument..

I want to be able to use ooc.

However, the bullshit spam and / or ability for idiots to stay in one zone and talk all day about just dumb shit is lame and needs to be destroyed.

If I could opt out of "anyone level 1-20," that would rule. However, I can't, so it's an issue. This was never a problem on live, there was no such thing as global chat except /guild or /group. If you guys are harping on the "community is too small" bullshit, then fine, make a minimum level. But really you should quit your bitching, wipe the sand out of your vaginas, and support classicization of chat channels.
