' Wrote:It can be annoying, but if they are intending to do anything, they'll be in close proximity, so it will be listed in the system.
Was the case today that made me think about this. Thanks for the tip.
' Wrote:First off, /fi works perfectly fine with tags located on the right side.
Secondly, putting one's faction tag behind the name has its advantages, too. For instance, you can prevent others from metagaming through checking the playerlist, or at at least complicating. You also generally draw less attention on your faction when a numerous amount of members is ingame, some preople prefer this over openly showing that they're cuurently on a large convoy or doing a raid or whatever. However I admit that the thing with the PM can be a little tedious.
Imo, this is not really harming the gameplay. It's merely a possibility for faction members who want to play more icognito.
Oh and once several members are grouped up you can simply list it by group numbers and you'll have 'em all in a row anyhow.
Thanks for the confirmation, then commands issue can be forgotten in this discussion.
Quote:Players doing this are just trying to confuse others making them unable to see how much of their members are logged in, up to this point, it could be considered an acceptable option, even if they're taking a small advantage over official factions that set their tags on the left side, like it always has been done... but now comes a bigger problem...
About the second thing, I noticed that the factions that do this are usually PvP factions that use exactly what you say to locate groups of people that have their tags on the left side, getting an advantage...
Hmm... seen as a possibility, I think it could work out... if official factions can optionally put their tags on the right side of the name if they want to, the problem is solved then...
About the group thing, thanks for the tip, this might solve communicative problems the next time.
' Wrote:- Your ability to PM a specific member is entirely unaffected--just find their name in the alphabetically sorted list.
That WON'T work if you're talking with multiple people. Because you'll have to scroll up and down more, thus losing time you could be using on flying.
Quote:Basically, your only real complaint is that doing this prevents you from easily metagaming to find out where members of this faction are and how many are online.
It's more like that I don't like to see players doing that AND then avoiding other players to get the advantage by the usage of this.
Thing that this way of actuation (which I could see today) somehow means taking an unfair advantage over factions with tags on the left side...
