geez louise
YES.....you CAN MODIFY CHAT TABS
but that DOESNT help when you WANT to listen to the spatial chat in case soemthign coems up you actually need to pay attention to....now doe sit
what exactly is it you peopel arent understanding here
I understand that some people don't like the spam, but honestly what good is a barker droid that everyone can just ignore easily? If you want to do business in a busy place like the Coronet starport you are going to have to get used to the spam, its part of the atmosphere there and at other busy ports. I've found some good deals listening to the spam in Coronet and Theed and I've found some crappy offers too. If I want quiet I don't hang out there any longer than is necessary to get from point a to point b.
The droids have a lower noise level than player spam in the first place since they don't /yell they are on a 60 second timer and they have to be recharged to keep working. Most of the spammers in Coronet probably don't have the skills to use them anyway.
This is a cool little toy for merchants and I don't see that it hurts anyone or makes anything worse than it already was. The only thing that really bothers me about the spam in coronet is that you rarely actually have someone there doing business. It used to be that you have people running through the streets offering their wares for sale..now they just spam their vendor at you... wonder where they are getting the skills for all those vendors

One of the good things of the late, unlamented Earth and Beyond was the Market channel. This channel allowed folks to buy, sell, trade and look for stuf without it spilling over into the regular channels. And it really worked well. I hope they implement something like a market channel. When somebody spammed over a different channel, he/she was immediately hailed with a chorus of "Wrong Channel" or "Take it to Market". It worked. It also prevented the "bank sitting" or "starport sitting" prevalent in UO and SWG. Also allowed marketeers to play more than stand around shouting.
Earth and Beyond is dead?

Thanks, Doc. My thoughts pretty much exactly.
