Policing of ;lnet

[Tenlaar]

I'm confused. What's the argument for not separating merchant chat and general chat?

I like to be able to untune from the stupid bullshit on lnet from time to time when it's annoying and still be able to see if something I'm interested in is for sale.

Thus far the only argument I have seen is "but I DON'T WANNA!"

I agree with you, the only stipulation is that there are a lot of people on Lnet who aren't tuned to Merchant who might see your item and want to buy it.

Merchant should be merchant, Lnet should be Lnet but I don't see the need for rules for Lnet - and if there are, this is a stupid place to start.

Are there, though?

LNet 149 General chat. No selling.
Merchant 129 selling of goods

Still 20, but I'll concede it's not as much as I thought.

Police on! I rarely tune to lnet anyway.

It's not actually 20. ;who lnet ;who merchant only count the Prime players. There are actually more Prime people on Merchant than LNet. And no one from Shattered, Platinum, or DragonRealms sells crap on LNet, so we're only talking about Prime players.

I see that, it's dead even. Looks like largely the same players, as well.

I'd suggest anyone wanting to purchase things to tune to the damn merchant channel then. Color the sumbitch differently and you'll actually have a much more noticeable method of seeing the merchant stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the lnet policing (haven't been around much lately anyway, so it hasn't had any effect on me), but I think it would benefit everyone involved in buying and selling stuff to actually use a dedicated channel rather than trying to have your message noticed in the general lnet chatter.
