Remove 5s Guild Chat delay?

[Harrytipper]

Would this be possible? Don't see it as a limitation in other games.

Hmmm surprised no-one else would be interested in this.

It's irritating. Why do we have to wait five seconds outside of global?

one programming fit all- it is not that limiting although sometimes it can be annoying

But in he grand scheme of things i prefer dev time spent on real issues than this fluff

The 5 second delay is meant to stop spam on the public channel, it works in guild which is not a public channel and has a much more direct way of resolving spam issues (i.e booting the spammer from your guild) so it serves no purpose and while I only see it occasionally there's no reason for me to see it at all.

To the dude that said one programming for them all, that is possible but pre-christmas when everything was messed up regular chat (global,help,wisp,news) would load correctly but you had to edit your member note in the guild to force the guild chat to spawn so they must be significant differences between the two otherwise they would both have loaded or neither would have loaded.

Another reason there is this 5-second delay is that a lot of people chatting with less than a 5-second delay will slow down the server, causing lag for everybody. Having this delay means that the server only needs to handle one comment per person in any 5-second period - a much more manageable quantity.

I'd rather have the 5-second delay than increased game lag...
