One, have an in-game FAQ reference. Two, have a LFG/LFM tab in addition to the standard World tab, or implement an auto-matching mechanic. Three, let us manipulate chatbox size in matches/multiplayer-screen, where it's altogether too small. Four, maybe give some of us 10-minute temp ban powers for all the spammers, or something. Gotta cut down all that flood somehow
I meant specifically an in-game pop-up they can peruse without having to swap to browser. We certainly link the FAQs enough in chat for that purpose. I'd double-check the state of the menu-linked FAQ, but I can't log in again
OH! And another suggestion: Have it so instead of a straight Block on Party Request [thanks for that feature!], that there's an option in the menu to Not Allow Party Requests From Non-Friends, requiring you to [click on name, click Friend] on people before they can invite you. I ALMOST feel bad portraying myself as a helpful sort in chat and then outright blocking people* when they blind-invite me. Almost. Then I remember that blind-inviters are gnome-spawned minions of darkness, and I get over it. *Who I've never seen speak in chat, I'd never be so crass as to block someone who might have made an honest misunderstanding of intent while we were chatting. :X It looks like a lot of new players are just going down the player list in multiplayer and inviting one by one till they get a full party. As an alternative, could simply cap number of invites per minute to 5, that should clear it up without being too cumbersome on legit parties. My first suggestion seems simpler though
