Well, I've tried to make on of those notify in /Say, but when I type say in the "Custom" box under the "Notify kills to:" it appears to be joining a channel named "say" and report it there, is there any way to make it report in normal Say message?

Thanks in Advance, Zixs

people whine with output in say, while in AV

I'm guessing it's more useful for other reasons lol

Can you imagine the spam if multiple people start using the say channel?

Can I respectfully submit that this is a bad idea?

If it wasn't a selectable option, I would agree. I've had people "complain" about my "spamming" of Party, Raid, Guild, and LocalDefense but fortunately, you can turn the notifications on and off for each or all of these channels (including Say).

I was most surprised by the complaints about my reports to LocalDefense. I don't know about other servers, but on mine, the LocalDefense conversation always goes something like:

PlayerA>I've been ganked, can someone help?
PlayerB>Where are you, what level were they?
PlayerC>What class?
PlayerD>Do you know what guild they are in?
Me>"Ganker (Level 70 Undead Rogue) killed me at [85,45] in Nagrand (Blades Edge Ruins)."
PlayerE>Me, can you quit the spamming in this channel?

Brad

I'm sure it's just my personal preference and I'd be the last person to complain about its use as an informational tool. Sadly, any good idea is invariably exploited for less-than-helpful ends by the masses.

The scenario that scares me is being in a BG where multiple folks have opted to use a public channel for their kill and death notifications. While I can filter my *own* output to those channels, I'd be forced to rely on /ignore to be able to filter out the spam.

I suppose that possibility already exists with every channel except say, though, so it's clearly not the end of the world.

Anything can be used for means less than (none, some, or all) of the player base thinks is "bad".

I like options more than limitations. I would leave it, and maybe make another option to automatically turn /say off when in certain situations, bg, etc.

I did notice that the script thinks you killed anyone you do damage to, even if it wasn't you who did the "killing blow".

Such an option already exists for battlegrounds (and duels).

I believe PvPLog has always worked this way.

While it may be possible to only credit "killing blow" kills, there are probably as many who would argue that this is as incorrect as those who argue that the present method is incorrect.

I'm guessing that PvPLog would have to build a list of "You have slain <name>" events and only credit the player with the kill if this event is present. It should be noted that Blizzard doesn't use this strict a definition for "honorable kills".
