Would like to see a /banter channel in game and on discord to de-clog /advice and game-advice

Just a channel for ppl who want to (civilly) shoot the shit about their thoughts on game balance, planned changes, so they don't need to clog up advice channels.

Their excuse, when confronted, for clogging advice channels is that there's nowhere else to have a global chat.

What 50% of them are doing is wanting an audience for their complaining, but the other 50% just want to have conversations about things they care about with people across the whole realm/game.

So, make the ppl who want an audience for whining put their money where their mouth is, and give them a channel where it's only other people who want to have that kind of convo.

Then, if they bring it into advice channels, it's easier to make them go play in their corner.

Edit: spoke w/ someone who mentioned that the channels are hard coded.

Idea came up of merging trade and advice into a single channel and leaving /trade for chat, complaining, suggestions, discussion of game balance, etc.

Pretty sure the Dev's stated no additional channels would be implemented, although this would be very nice to help clean up /advice.

It's horrifically annoying posting a question and the next 6 comments are people shit talking each other and you have to wait 30s before you can re-ask your question lol.

It wouldnt help advice at all, as the same trolls would still trolling those who need help. It would be just another channel to monitor. If you want to "shit"-talk, use your own discords, but dont use any public phoenix channels.

Besides that it would be a nightmare to monitor, it would also bring a lot of troubles technicalwise. New channel wouldnt be editable and stuff like that.

But anyways, this will not happen.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply Uthred, understood.

I think the advantage of this (just mentioning it for discussion's sake, I do understand this idea won't be implemented) would be that it would sort out the ppl who are actually wanting real discussions with the whole realm/server from the trolls, since the trolls would still be in advice and the sincere ppl would use the appropriate channel.

Anyone who didn't move to the appropriate channel would pretty clearly be labeling themselves a troll by default.
