No smoke I didn't spam events, here or on XUO. Whenever I hosted an event I used macros I made to count down and announce an event once every minute. I don't remember word for word what it said but it was something like;

CTF starting in 10 minutes (50% chance to win a prize), call your friends!
60 seconds later
CTF starting in 9 minutes (50% chance to win a prize), call your friends!
....
CTF starting soon (50% chance to win a prize), last call!
60 seconds later
CTF closed!

Now then smoke, want to argue again about what I did? Maybe you want to tell me I didn't play hockey last night?...

Wikipedia Wrote:Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately.

...

Many online games allow players to contact each other via player-to-player messaging, chat rooms, or public discussion areas. What qualifies as spam varies from game to game, but usually this term applies to all forms of message flooding, violating the terms of service contract for the website.

Once a minute doesn't count as spam, else everyone would be jailed for having a conversation in-game. I think 2-3 times a minute is acceptable for advertising an event since it lasts like 10 minutes at the most (usually much less), and only happens a few times a day.

events and bcasts are meant for spamming if your macroing and doing something else at the same time or hunting and doing something else like watching tv etc you won't even see it every 1-3 mins maybe if you get it randomly you can catch one

Well, if you're macroing, I'm pretty sure you're spamming your own screen with system messages anyway, so what difference does a few more make?
