Deaf - Noreply

Why are these commands in the game. Maybe if you just rolled
a character, and dont want the pre-11 range asking to group?

Other than that, and area explore (which doesnt seem right
using it in that sense) I cant come to think of the reasons for it.

This is what I deal with

Someone tells you whatever insults/taunting they tell you, then immediately use the deaf command as an ooc tool to frustrate the player. Even myself, in the past have been guilty of noreply
using hiding classes. But seeing it from the other end of the stick it just rubs me the wrong way. It is also imho bad form rp, to give interaction via words, be it insults or what have you,
then use the deaf command like a child to get the last word.

Ok.. so it's not against the rules. So I'm the badguy now, because my chars player is going to multikill the hell out of someone for being so petty. It just breeds bad juju.

I promote these commands no longer to be able to be used, unless pre-pk ranks, just for the sake of writing roles and what not.

I see no gain to using deaf/noreply other than as a tool of
ooc *sticks tongue out* and it's only going to create more ooc behavior.

IC I dont know how to respond to this. So.. I just pk them again.
