Please. This type of garbage should not be allowed.
These bugles have no cooldown timer, so spam like this can keep happening. There's no option to turn off bugles. Blacklist doesn't mute it.
it keeps going. This was on thanksgiving.
I am really sick of seeing people argue in bugles, preach religiously, maliciously advertise to harass people, or just relentlessly spam stupid stuff. This lasted for like
20 minutes straight.
Suggestion 1: make blacklisting better-
This has been proposed before, and it should be done regardless of the other two things. The fact you need to be next to someone to blacklist them means that anyone can spam like this with no recourse to stop it in the moment.
Suggestion 2: add a cooldown timer/use limit to bugles
This would help to limit the spam, especially when there are events giving them out and they're not solely cash shop.
Suggestion 3: have a setting to disable bugles from showing up on your own client
Not everyone cares to be pinged about sales or recruiting anyways, and if they did they would look at party ads on ch1.
EDIT: I have been informed this setting has been added, however I cannot confirm if it stops bugles from appearing at the top of the screen currently. Either way, individuals abusing this function should be punished- turning off the whole thing punishes EVERYONE.
Suggestion 4: Actually punish the players who use bugles maliciously.
Please.

And since its a hassle to turn it off/on, I leave it off. Mostly cause it just clogs up default chat, which I like to be on so I can see normal and guild chat. I wish if you were on the bugle chat tab, you could see the bugle conversations so I'm not totally left out in the dark, but uh, that's not a thing.
All in all, just making a bugle cool down would really fix this issue. Maybe adding it so you can see bugle ping in the bugle tab even if you have it off, plus a cool down, even, since both would be helpful for different reasons. We need more bugle related options though.
Anyways, I do agree that players should have the option to turn these off if it bothers them.
Its not, but its annoying and it'd be nice to have more fix solutions for this or a bugle cooldown, even if only a 1 minute cooldown between uses for one player, considering I don't see why anyone need to have that many back to back bugle messages anyway. Also there would def be more convenient ways to roleplay with someone then using a bugle-
There's a way to turn it off, but its not easy to reach and there might be more ideal solutions tbh.
Yep. I was more aiming my comment at "I am really sick of seeing people argue in bugles, preach religiously..." That is freedom of speech. If you don't like to see it you have the freedom to turn off the game for a little bit. Just because someone doesn't like something, does not mean you can excommunicate the party annoying you. That's part of life, and OP should understand that.
Instead of advising people to just drop the game whenever they get tired of seeing it, even though they might want to play and others are just ruining their experience, it makes more sense to toggle the feature off altogether like what I've already done. But its kinda sad to block an entire feature to the game because its getting abused. I've seen plenty of people annoyed with it and telling others to take it to dms or whatever. If everyone who was tired of it just turned off the option to see bugles, then who's really going to be paying attention to sell/buy or party advertisements?
Just considering better solutions for a bit doesn't do any harm, and to give a cool down to bugles isn't excommunicating. For people who are looking for a party/are giving people an announcement heads up/or are advertising an item for sell, they only need to ping a bugle once or twice between some minutes--maybe a few times every hour if they're that desperate. Not spam it constantly. The only ones who would suffer from a cool down are the people who want to spam to be annoying, and even a minute break between bugles would be just too much that it'd be hard to have actual arguments through bugles. Its a win win situation, cause if people really wanted to fight each other, they'd finally have the motivation to just message the other person.
That being said, the option to block people without having to see them would also be great alongside this, though, for multiple reasons.
I never minded bugles before in the past and I do think they're a useful and sometimes wholesome feature for when someone wants to send out a heartwarming message. It just needs some restraints though because the way some are using it is too noisy.
