I personally hate global spam and global fights.

And Troy hasn't had much of either in a really long time. :)
Been really nice and peaceful :D
I know some people like the bullshit, but there are some like me that would rather mind our own shit and not care that Gayguy43 ran away from Gaygirl45's guild, or other crap like that :roll:

If its about their mothers, I switch to union chat.

but if its and intellectual debate about something in the game, its ok.

Definitely better...as long as the silk is purchased legit. Funny stuff there, and some of the random comments makes it worthwhile. Until they start with the alphabet/numbers/blanks/random symbols...

Go ahead, waste your money and keep SRO free for others. :)

the spam helps me know who the idiots are, luckily for me they self identify by spamming.

nothing like seeing XXX is gay and I did his mom, XmyguildrulzX is recruiting.

Tells me that the spammer and his guild are full of morons and that I should PK them when I see them.

I like it when it has something fun in it and it can entertain me while grinding, it generally makes me giggle

I saw this last night on Pacific I will only post links and not the images as I dont think that it issuitable for children. I think that JM has to do something about this the game has no age rating so its JM's responsibility to make sure that it is suitable for all ages they are not doing this at the moment.

Sometimes it's fun, especially when you're SP farming it's nice to read all that nonsense lol. But if it's really those endless fights and bad insulting and crap it's no fun anymore.

It doesn't always HAVE to be the bitching and fighting, just some randomness in globals is nice to read too. :)

Venice has got very little of it and I like it. Don't think i'd like it if the whole chatbox was yellow 24/7 though.

They pay for it so they have rights to do it.Personally I think it makes game more "alive" if you see bunch of angry kiddies swear at each other with their silly insults.

It depends what you class as spam.

I hate it when people have to argue over globals, it makes both the people arguing look like idiots.

But i dont mind when people have a joke overr globals, even if they keep on globaling for ages, its still fun to read.

Other types of spam i dont like are the stupid gold selling adverts and ccfers spamming the alphabet ¬_¬ you know who you are!

globals (apart from friends) are what kept me grinding. They are so funny to laugh at.

Look, this poll isn't about global chat/chatting or that's what I would of said.
I clearly said it's about global spamming/ shit talking.

i would say without spamming but with fights.

some fights are fun to read, but spam like 123333 ABCD or same sentence X times etc are really annoying.

so i can't really vote.

Hmm in the middle.

Most of spam7global argues on Babel is like:
-: ..... you noob
_:..... your mother
-:..... you gay
_:i ..... your family
-:i kill your fater .......
continue ...

That you can see is kid of 12-15 years, but when real argue starts with many facts and some constructively sentences,thats really nice to watch and laugh.
Too bad thats such rare to see :(

Its all about perception of what is spam.

Both. When the people aren't TOTAL idiots about it, then it's ok.

On Venice we definitely don't have the idiotic global wars we used to, now they get started by some low level unknown dude trying to be cool.
