Everyone spams EC wares for sale or wtb...but what if they implemented a timer to list auction or WTB channels in EC only? I know we have a site that shows peoples for sale or wtb wares you can actively watch but I don't like doing that. Some people are posting their auctions and WTB stuff wayyy too much clogging up the EC air waves. Would be cool if they implemented a 10 sec or 15 sec timer before you could post again in auction or WTb channels in EC only. What you guys think?

The fact that we can customize our chat boxes and filter what channels are in what box solves a problem that we couldn't deal with during live. Not the mention the item links being a crazy useful feature that saves us tons of "stats +15 str +9sta..etc" spam.

Yea resizeable windows and the ability to filter /auc to its own window kinda eliminates the need imo and if someone is SUPER spammy you can always just /ignore

I'm definitely not a classic purist I'm all for non classic changes as long as the gameplay stays mostly the same. I'd be all for a global trade channel so we can stop having to go back to stupid EC all the time to buy/sell things.

This, without this I wouldn't play.

This is what I do ^^ In fact, whenever I pass through EC I do this so I don't miss anything ^^ Simple solution. No need for timers in my opinion. Ty for looking for ways to improve our play experience though!

As a guy who spends about 90% of his time in EC I don't think I've ever seen anybody ever spamming their message this frequently. Even if I did I could just put them on ignore.

Separate auction window works fine for me. No change necessary imo.

I just use /ignore for the heavy auctioners and refer to their posts on http://ahungry.com

Yeah, I already feel spoiled enough having links handy. Like corpse runs and pets dying on zone-in, it's the little annoying struggles that I enjoy about the classic version of this game.

like other posts said, make a separate chat box for auctions. drag it to top/bottom of screen and only relist auction once you don't see yours on screen anymore.

the more you spam it the more desperate you appear which will increase the lowball offers from resellers.

Reduce /auc to the distance of /yell

Not sure what that would achieve, aside from sparing orc 1/2 folks the spam...and it's good for everyone to use filters eventually anyway so why not get people into the habit as they level.

Overall these suggestions...all of them...
