Greetings,
first of all, I play on pluto only so I am not aware of the situation on other servers. However I feel that it is generally a good policy.
On pluto, the TRADE-NC channel is more or less used as the OOC channel. If you are a serious tradeskiller, advertising your services and/or merchandise can be a problem. Often you see a tradeskiller advertising, then a number of OOC lines. This in turns leads to the tradeskiller advertising again, since the channel scrolls too fast and is cluttered with trade unrelated information.
Also, if I'm playing alone, or there is only a few in clan on I like to have OOC turned on for some background chatter. Currently this isn't possible, since I would then have to have TRADE-NC on. I don't, since I am not interested in trades when hunting.
My proposal would be to introduce a send to channel flood control. What this would mean is that you would only be allowed to send for example 2 messages a minute to the TRADE channels.
Now, as a part time tradeskiller I don't see a problem with this, since 2 messages a minute seems fairly enough to advertise your skills and/or trading stuff.
What do you pure tradeskilles think about this?
I would very much like to have the pure trade channels back to their intended purpose :)
Of course, the time limit etc would be subject to tweakage.
