general chat in the logs is annoyingFollow

#1 Nov 24 2004 at 3:11 PM Rating: Default
the chat filters in WoW aren't very in depth... the "general" chat that is basicallly everyone on the server really gets annoying. I don't care to see what people nowhere near me are talking about.. i just want to see the chat from my immediate area.... is there any way to get rid of JUST the "general" chat?

Really.. why cant you just read the guidebook provided or experiment in-game yourself...

Right click the chat box. If you still dont know, it will help you filter. Uncheck the 'General' channel

If the General chat is channel 1 ... (you would know by the sentence beginning like "/1 General:<whinner name> Hey this lag suxxor", then you can filter that channel out with the command:

/1 leave

It is.

If you decide later (you poor soul) to re-join that channel, just type in /join general

Go to interface options and check the option for simple chat. That will seperate the chat logs from the combat logs and it looks a hell of a lot better.

Also, I too find General to be annoying and bogged down by tons of idiots just asking me to Ignore them.

/quit General or /leave General will do the trick.

You can create any channel you wish and invite anyone you know to use the channel too.

/join "name of your choosing"
/cinvite "channel name" "player name"

Hope this helps.

I just laugh to myself at most of the morons in general chat. I keep it open to occasionally help people who ask questions, but just ignore it for the most part.

There have been a lot of rude people around so far. Most of general chat and even when I join a group is cursing and swearing. It doesn't bother to much, but it seems like there are a lot of immature people playing this game. So far it hasn't interfeared with my leveling or having fun though.
