^ This would be my preference as well.

Not saying I disagree, just curious how you would expect a GM to verify emote spamming? Offensive chat can be found in chat logs.

Not against the idea as giving players more tools to do this kind of filtering themselves is a good thing in my opinion. However, in your example, you will have to start adding quite a lot of variations of the phrase unless you are looking to do some kind of LIKE operator, which in of itself can be problematic. I can only speak for myself here, but if someone is typing stuff I do not agree with, I will just put the person on ignore and move along.

Someone using crude language I can totally understand and should get reported. Just using the smack emote is harassment though? I personally do not see it. Were it me, I would /e slap them back.

Actually, it is very similar. I can believe someone getting annoyed over another player using an emote, but actually reporting them over it as if it is an actionable offense?

This reminds me of the epic threads over on the STO forums about Disco balls causing a player avatar to dance. People were actually equating that to real life physical assault. True story.

Reported for what exactly?

That is completely fine and there is nothing wrong with getting annoyed. I personally do not mind it as I understand there are a lot of people out there leveling up alts this way.

Same here, but if that is how they want to spend their time, more power to them.

I am familiar with MMO culture, thank you. The farm map itself exists in the game world and someone is playing it to clear the map, so the game is being played. They are clearing maps, collecting XP and drops just like any other story content mission. I can understand and appreciate some people do not care for this and prefer to run story content which is perfectly fine.

Playing a farm is playing the game.

This is what precisely what the LFG channel is for - looking for a group.

My Le Petomane alt is anxiously awaiting a Wind Control set.

To be fair, everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how ignorant or dumb those opinions may be. People seem to forget others have different goals in playing. I think it is great that you are looking for others with a similar concept build to team with. I wish you good luck and good fun!

You are welcome. If you have not already, check out the Base Builders Cheat Sheet and Base Building Video Guide threads. Lots of great info in them! 😁

Type this into the chat - /sg_passcode <your password here> Example: /sg_passcode HELLOWORLD Look in the chat window and you will see your passcode there with the number in it, like; /sg_passcode HELLOWORLD-12345 You will need to have base editing permissions in order to set or change the passcode.

I am not sure if anyone is running that way. I have no idea code-wise how much work it would be to remove the incarnate slot requirement to queue for the various itrials. I think the lack of incarnate powers in running them would make support and CC/debuff much more valuable.

And out of the blue accusing me of being condescending is contributing what exactly to the topic at hand? If I am being defensive, it is due to being accused of being condescending to others simply by offering an alternative temporary solution as part of the discussion. I have already said repeatedly I think more incarnate content is needed. I have also suggested that removing the incarnate slot requirement to queue for incarnate trials might offer another level of difficulty and challenge. Feel free to disagree if you like. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Perhaps if you took the time to actually read, things would make sense.

Well no, I am offering a potential solution that works in the interim until something can be developed. It is a suggestion on a suggestion forum.

No, I am not saying that at all. You are assuming that. I am simply offering an idea. If they are using it already, great. If not, perhaps they will give it a try.

How is this any different than advertising for either speed or non-speed TFs? All specific AT TFs? All specific AT mission teams? Badge runs? Offering the suggestion of using available tools to find like minded players is a legitimate suggestion to improve the quality of play for someone. Suggesting my response is condescending is condescending to me. As for suggesting other options and ideas, I have done that in this post and others on the topic.

It was SIGNIFICANT shrinkage!

Why not lift the requirement of incarnate slots being unlocked and/or slotted in order to queue for Incarnate trials?

Both statements are exclusionary. I do not see why looking for others to run non incarnate power teams is somehow nefarious or negative.
