This means that the commands can still be spammed repeatedly, but the spatial shout will only show up every 30 seconds. So don't worry about not being able to use your macros, cause I do understand that is the only way you are viable at the moment.
The system will change regardless in the Combat Upgrade, so this is just a fix until we decide how things will work then.

- Combat commands that have a shout text component, such as /formup, will now be limited to shouting every 30 seconds. All of these commands use the same timer.

good work on making the developers realize that this was an important issue worth their time to look into. I know that my guildmate, the GCW correspondant was trying to support a change on the correspondant boards as well. Glad to see that headway was made and I won't have to worry about getting warped to 0,0 during a battle anymore.

My spam has not changed. Is there something I'm supposed to do to engage a "spam timer" or is this really not fixed?
