Giordano Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm not in favor, because people would spam all day. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakster Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 That's way too much like macroing and I know Jagex would be against it. Just give your fingers some exercise and continue typing it yourself... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenT0 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I now type like 20x as fast as I used to... your fingers will get through it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerocool11 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 There would be so much spam! There would be so much spam! There would be so much spam! There would be so much spam! ...bad idea :roll: I think that the opposite should be implemented. There should be a limit on how fast one person could post messages. To stop the flooding of screens with the same repeat messages. Or if a player sends too many messages too quickly, they'd be muted for 5 seconds.

harper128 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Zerocool11, that would be a punishment against people similar to myself who do type rather quickly and are quite...verbose. I prefer to say things well, instead of typing them in quickly. Often this takes several lines of text to do, especially if I am attempting to explain anything that is at all in depth.

Fiery_Gyr Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 They invented "floodprograms" for that. When you are trading and use one, they won't punish you (mods use them too). It makes trading easier. I understand the pro's and contra's for your idea though, cuz there are allways people who abuse these kind of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadd Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 *rises eyebrow* This would be just like a legal auto-typer. Meaning no more banning by JaGeX or muting by mods who are just doing their respective duty. Maybe If you could go back to the drawing boards on this idea.... Or, they could have it where you type in what your selling and once you press enter, the messege will stay posted over the players head. They should create a "sticky" feature for that to work so it wouldn't get in the way or normal conversations and what-not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunksrs Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I am against it. Alot of times people type stuff like that way more than they need to, and it just gets annoying. I could see repeating yourself in Falador bank world 2, but there I times when I choose the least crowded server, and am in a bank with maybe 3 other people, when i see: Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! Selling whatever 500k!!!!! We heard you!!! Obviously no on is interested, go away!!

CrabPeople999 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 i sort of agree with the "sticky" idea, where when u type one thing, it just stays over your head but in crowded worlds such as 1, 2, and 3, this wouldn't work becase the screen would just be blocked up by all of these, and u would never be able to find wut u were buying/selling.

harper128 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I had made a similar suggestion.:) The idea is not a bad one, but the extreme potential for and likelyhood of abuse is what makes it unfeasable, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty4242 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The sticky idea is good, but as mentioned before it would make reading hard in a crowded area. So how about instead of displaying the entire "sticky" message, a special symbol like a glowing $ would appear over the players head. I see it working like this: When they first type the "sticky" message it would appear over their head for the same amount of time a regular message does. Then it would change to the special symbol and when you move the mouse over the player you would see their message. Moving the mouse away would change the message back to the special symbol.

zaquierming Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Oh wow, It's happend. Someone is too lazy to push down a few keys. Well, If that's so much work, Go outside and play some sports. Oh wait that might be even more work. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Oh wait that might be even more work. Not lazy, many people are incredibly bad typers. I've been typing for 25 years and still can't get past 30 wpm with a couple of spelling mistakes / minute. Just go into any bank on a crowded world and see how many people make multiple spelling mistakes over and over :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
