    Default Speaker System: Your opinion?

    Lately I've been asking myself more and more often why on earth this whole speaker system was implemented in the first place.
    The logical answer might be "Money"-->
    People who want to say whatever it is they want to say will pay for it, making further development of the game possible.

    Another answer might be to make the possibility of people actually taking care of what they write in chat because it costs money... but let's be honest heh, looking at world chat the way it is... Not working.

    To prevent SPAM? I guess... but that could be done in other ways as well, like the 10 sec cooldown period p.p or some such.


    They way it is now all I see is that I'm prevented from answering questions that are asked in chat in any other way than Whispers (which prevents other people who don't have speakers anymore but are loaded with questions from benefiting from the answer), the people with daddy's creditcard or no sense of the value of a dollar (or just way too many of 'em to care) can continuously spam Alliance invites and such while the rest of us have to rely on whispers and emails (and this here forum of course!).

    I'm a regular guy, living in a regular house, a regularly paying job and a family on the way; I believe that any of us can offer something valuable to the community with shared experience or ideas without having to wait for the WoF to drop us a few speakers (today I got...drumroll please... a single speaker!) or having to pull out the creditcard which is far better used for other things.

    Mind you, I'm not saying that paying for Evony is wrong; on the contrary! It allows the game to remain free... I just feel that charging for speaking in world chat can't be the best thing for Evony on a whole. Perhaps a daily allowance of speakers is a nice compromise, so people who want more can still pay for em? Thoughts anyone?
