I'm with Skorpion on the journal thingy. I'm one of those who always have my journal up and likes to check it out every now and then and sometimes I really need it cause some people use such stupid font colors sometimes that almost are invisible to the eye but visible in the journal.

The thing with the spamming is that all the spam makes it totally impossible to go back and read whatever that person said. A little suggestion to what Skorpion said would be that you could remove powerwords from the journal entirely. That way you'd never get a spammed journal. I dunno if this feature would be possible to script but I can't think it wouldn't be.

If you are in a different area than the person whose spamming, then you can simply hit [filter and you won't be seeing what he's casting, nor hear the sound of it.

However if you are actually fighting the guy you'll still hear and see it, plus see it in the journal. This is of course not a time when you'd want to look in the journal and talk to players anyways, so it should be fine. :]

I still think thats too much =/ 10 rows in 4 seconds... thats still considered spam to me

If we'd make it any less than that people would almost always be able to tell WHEN you are casting a spell, even tho they won't know which spell it is. A big part of this PvP at this time is to hide it so they don't even know you are casting a spell, tricking them to instead wait with the heal, or use a bandage instead, because they think you're just spamming "as always", not because you're actually casting something. If we'd have it so that you're only able to do like 4 spams every 4 seconds then they would for sure be able to see when you're casting something, since you'd have to "save" your spam for when you actually are about to fake something, when you get a good hit or whatever, because you wouldn't want to waste it on nothing.
