I have to disagree with this because of a very strong point that can be
brought up. Some people enjoy using EQ's /ooc and /shout commands for their
constant chit-chat and arguing. They may find it fun and entertaining, but
the rest of the people on the server or in the zone couldn't care less and
would really prefer it if they'd take it to IRC. (There's enough stuff to
keep track of in that little message window without trying to filter through
all the chatter) And before you say that we could simply turn off shouts or
ooc's - I'd argue that you shouldn't be forced to do that just to enjoy the
game. There are some VERY good uses and quite a few times that the shout's
are used properly (ie: "/shout Mino Hero at cave entrance!") that make the
tools valuable. I'd also prefer to not have an ignore list a mile long.. I
do like interacting with people and helping them as much as possible. If
they were put on my ignore list a month ago and I go to help them and can't
see anything they're saying I'm going to be slightly confused. :)

Let me ask you this.. If you worked hard at your job for awhile trying to
move up the ladder and then someone that had just started a few days ago got
a position (or the window desk you wanted, or better pay or whatever) higher
up than you just because their friend was influential with the upper-ups -
would it bother you? Of course it would. Sure, EQ is just a game - but you
spend "real life" time playing it and earning things. The person that got
offered the above perk maybe would be foolish to turn it down, but didn't
earn it - and may not do as good of a job without the type of experience
that you had gotten. (This is an example, and obviously isn't perfect - but
I'm simply trying to make a little point)
I'm not flaming or trying to start any arguments, I just thought a couple of
examples might help you see why some of us disagree. There's probably no
clear line as to what's right and when..
