Macros in battle rooms
03. 29. 2011 09:57

COUPON	Ok, so I know that when the macros were introduced to the game that people often used them to spam up the rooms. However I am here to ask that the macros be reactivated for pre-battle room use. When you are trying to buy or sell a particular sailor, it is much more useful to just pop out a macro in a waiting room some 40-60 people in it. When you are selling something like a crew, this is much more time efficient to use the macros when everyone is just sitting there. I have had MUCH more success buying/selling sailors in the waiting rooms than I have ever had when using the forums or using a trade room. Forums are time consuming to take pictures, crop them, adjust where you want it to go, upload, post. I know it doesn't sound like that much but when you have some 10+ sailors to repeat this process for. Also, trade rooms to me are inconvenient when you could be doing the same exact thing when waiting to actually play the game. As for the spam issue, I suggest there being a timer to restrict the use of macros from being spammed - in the battle room only. Maybe a limit of 1 macro every 60 or 90 seconds or something like that. That would go towards all macros in general, even the people who try to make cute little pictures of a sail boat would no longer be able to do so. This would allow people like me to be able to buy/sell while actually waiting to PLAY the game, instead of having to sit around doing absolutely nothing in a trade-room or doing whatever else ways there are to get your sailors information out. P.S. I know that there is a trade channel... but come on let's be honest here. I see maybe 1 or 2 people enter that channel every like 3 days. I think this would be a much more appropriate use for trading. -COUPON

snow_ball	I'm sorry, but I'm not reading past the first few lines. This is because the MODs, players, and therefor SDE do not like to see the trade messages at all in trade rooms. Now, dont get me wrong. I would like them to allow it again.. Because that's the only time when I would use the trade macro (other than in the loading screen, never during battle) But yeah... not many players know about this trade channel... I personally know it exists... but i don't know what it's actual name is... But since these bans on trade messages have been put in place... It has been vary hard to sell any sailors. Because let's face it... trade rooms dont get many people to come... and most sailors where sold due to trade messages in trade rooms... this is simply because people don't want to go looking in the trade area for what they want, or when they check they dont see it, so go back to leveling. The only way to sell a sailor now is either A. on the trade board (which isn't the best, because there is no nagotiation between players, and you have to set a good price... where you could have gotten more if in trade room) B. in a trade room (but who want's to sit in a trade room all day when they could be leveling? C. fourm page. (These sometimes work... but not often since most treads aren't looked at, or there are so many, they get lost, or people just dont look at the fourms.) On another note, I'm with Audessy... I used to have macro's for hosting options too. Also, I know there have been many players that had other things that they like to post. Some where annoying.. but some where not. Also... Fleets using macro's to recruit suffer too. Because they aren't really allowed to advertise their fleets... atleast not when the battle starts. (and who will look at those fleet messages after the match starts? I usually dont) It's kind of silly that SDE had to ban all use of macro's just to stop trade messages... I mean really... why is it that much of an issue? If the player spams the trade message they will be muted for 2 mins. HERE IS A BETTER SOLUTION ON HOW TO STOP THOSE WHO SPAM TRADE MACROS! Let the player MODs ban them from the game for a bit for spamming the trade messages. NOTE!* If the player spams the trade message more that a reasonable ammount, then they may be banned... if they only say it once or twice, then let them BE! This only includes one message... It may varry if the player has more than 1 or 2 trade macro's. I recc this, because the ban of macro's and trade macro's in the battle WAIT room is unnessisary, and over-sensoring by SDE.

mysharona	macros are amazing! where else would we get our comedy from?!?! "under rain of fake hh brave uboat makes braveness brave" or something to that effect pure genius

Audessy	Recc'd. Not even just for trade. Back in the day I used a macro for hosting saying "Loader!" or "SNG, good luck everyone!". Another good idea otherwise would be to have everyone enter the trade channel by default when they log on. They must manually leave if they don't like advertisements.

koala44202	People (like me) like to minimize the game while waiting. This would just be useless ads.

Hoplita	Perhaps you would use the system correct but others only using it for crap, also trading selling etc is not allowed in those rooms. Best Regards,

Blazer4show	Trade Tab works great. Set it and Forget it. If your worried about the commission set the price to factor the commission in. If you want to direct it to someone, tell em to look at the trade window, they can sort any number of ways.

COUPON	Well, if you actually read the post then you would see my reasonings as to why it is needed.

koala44202	There's the trade channel. There's the trade tab. There's the trade area. Not needed.
