Thread: /sys sould be in groupchat to...
/sysgroup displays a systems message, the same type of message you get when you harvest, get xp, or when being informed the server is comming down. These messages can be added or removed from any chat box.
Right click on the tab and select "Modify tab" you will see two boxes. If you had selected the groupchat tab then it will have groupchat in the right hand box, if you had selected combat it would have combat in the box. You can then add anything from the left box, or remove from the right.
This really isnt what you wanted, but I figured if you know how the system works then you could understand why the devs wouldnt be able to put the /sys message in groupchat.

Actually they could. Have /sysgroup do the equivalent of /systemmessage "message"; /gsay "message";
I've macroed most of my instructions with /sysgroup and /g. the only problem is that %TT doesn't work in /groupchat and as a result I can't deliver instructions as precisely as I would get there. You can't color code them in /groupchat too. :/
So basically, I have precise and color coded instructions in /sysgroup and imprecise ones in /groupchat for added visibility.
