I used them a lot on pvp servers, but never did on non-pvp. people who used them on non-pvp didn't bother me beyond the first pings of annoyance. instead I questioned my own reasons for not using anon/roleplay. i questioned our need to know everything. we're information addicted. the pings of annoyance went away.
anyway, after thinking about this for a while, i came to some conclusions...
and the trolling begins...
When I see item names in chat, i want a link that tells me the stats...
When I see an item link, I want it to tell me what monster it drops on and what the name is...
When I see an item link, I want to see which zone the monster that drops it is in...
When I see the item link, I want to see what level the monster is that drops the item....
When I click on an item link, I want to be able to click on a button that teleports me instantly to the area where the item drops...
When I click on an item link, just give me the item already by allowing me to click a button that says "get item" because camping the named is boring and unnecessary...

When I am going through a zone, I want there to be landmarks so I know how to travel through the zone...
When I am gpoing through a zone, I want it to be small and simple so I know how to travel through the zone...
When I am going through a zone, i want a map of the zone printed out so I know how to travle through the zone...
When I am going through a zone, I want a map window so I know how to travel through the zone...
When I am going through a zone, I want the option to teleport to anywhere in the zone on the map window so I know how to travel through the zone...

Some things we work for, somethings we get free, and some people are never happy until they have everything and there's nothing left to do. I understand the pleas that some people have about needing to know some things without working for it, but when you drive this need to its ultimate completion, it's focused on the destination, not the journey. I believe the journey is the joy. If you do not enjoy the journey, the destination will never, ever make you happy. You will never be happy. You will always need and want.
a billion dollars won't make you happy. all the riches in the world mean nothing. max level won't make you happy. having all the knowledge of the universe won't make you happy unless you're happy without it.
I understand the frustration people feel when they /who all and get a bunch of anons. but for once in your life, sit back and think in non-reactionary terms. actually question your own self, have you ever done that?
