In RvR, /y is one of the very few methods that allows very limited communication with members of other realms.
Still, outside RvR, it's theoretical uses are even more limited, so for me it's an essential RvR-tool.

Abused ? Someone found a way to win fights using /y ? Something I didn't see, during all that time ?

well alright, don't blame me when she starts running around with flowers in frontiers again, causing mass confusion and mayhem

Abused in the sense of spamming


and very useful rvr tool? wow and you need to spam it every second and not every 3rd in order to use it? Seriously can't see where /y spam can be a useful rvr tool

Every action that can be spammed can be used to cause lag.
Thats why so many commands have timers.
We all know how much influence on RvR lag and lagging enemies can have.
So timers are a good thing to prevent abuse.

Just to ask why.. is it lag issues again?

Plz DON'T remove this timer.
So great that some players are unable to spam help and make themselves look like... *censored*

Oh yes, indeed. If only we had more posters like you, and less "*censored*" players like me. What a beautiful community that would be.

Well, useful for RP, not RPs. Roleplaying, not Realmpoints. When running away from some nasty Ogre charging me with murder in it's eyes and hitting me from behind, screaming for help in an orderly fashion only once every 3 seconds feels terribly inadequate.

And if I want to draw the attention of a player who's passing by, or maybe someone who just killed me, I might not even have 3 seconds before they disappear again.

It's bad enough trying to send a friendly emote to every memeber of an enemy group before the inevitable trigger happy caster finishes nuking, or before they dissapear over the next hill, but I can see this as a challange. But this new restriction of my ability to interact with other players in this multiplayer game indeed manages to greatly reduce my enjoyment of the game.

If I was speed-hitting some macro to block out every other form of communication in a chat window, I could understand such a comment. Since I'm typing every /y or emote, and am not doing so for extended periods of time, I can't see how this could reasonably be called spamming.

Oh well, I guess this change might have been targetted at someone else. I just thought it couldn't hurt to inform you that you might be making life miserable for more than your intended targets. But if you indeed changed your server to counter my kind of "spam" ... oh well, whatever, your server, your rules.
