We have now finally enabled the spam limit on .wops . I know a lot of people will have a hard time accepting this, but it has been a long time coming.
The spam limit will be 8 spams / 4 seconds. This value has been chosen to accommodate for the different PvP styles and weapon speeds and it should allow you for a lot of different spam options. When you pass the 8/4 limit you will not be able to use any wops until the next 4 seconds, this means your spells will be visible if you wasted your spam. In the future a penalty system (e.g squelching) might be added.
The reason for the spam has always been to confuse players, and it has also been a big part of skill to our PvP (reading and tricking your opponent). Now, with the limit in place, using spams will require even more skill. You have to think about when you want to trick your opponent and when you want to hide your spells.
The 8/4 limitations should only limit people with a constant spam macro, and those are the ones we are trying to limit. It should not limit any interesting and intriguing part of our PvP.
