This has probably been proposed in the past, and somehow ignored?
but if local is to remain as it is - please allow us to filter the 'local' channel by standing at least please.
Is it ever hard to scroll through a million people in major trading hubs.
I don't care "Who's" in local, I just care about 1 or 2 other people that 'Could Be In Local'.
If the arguement is as in this thread "Local is too powerful alread"...

then it should be removed.
Here is an old posting from 2009
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=978496
that came from an eve dev posting that has not been talked about since.

I'd actually be completely fine with this. 99.999% of Eve players will still leave it showing everyone, but if you want to limit who you can see in Local (but still show up on Local yourself), I see no issue with it at all.
Of course, I don't know how much need for this there is, since most people will leave it showing everyone and there are already private chat channels to use. But I see no issues with this idea beyond the possibility of less than optimally used dev time.
I'm also interested in the possibility of 0.0 bots being caught because their owners forgot to set up their Local filters properly and they didn't see the hostile come into their system, that would be amusing.
When you are chasing war targets / or you are at war, you really only care about your war targets in local. You could care less about the 100's of other people there.
I understand most people leave it as 'all' in low sec and null sec, but I have my corp in my corp tab, so I dont need to see them in local, and I really only would like to filter out who I need to.
I am playing against a "few" eve players at a time, not all 1000 of them in jita 
Thats why I would like to filter local. Scrolling through places like jita just is pointless. |

Well then make a proposal to remove local all together and ill support it.

As it stands now, when I land in a system with friends I strike up a conversation with them. You get to know people because you run into them frequently.
New players would encounter significantly quieter, less friendly local channels as people would have a lot more reasons to not talk. Most of them would eventually stop even paying attention to local because it would so rarely be of any use. The worst part is how badly they would be victimized by more experienced players in high sec: neutral scouts would become even more valuable, and newer players at war wouldn't know they'd been spotted and followed by a neutral scout. Not knowing there might be wartargets immediately upon undocking from a station is a bad thing.
I think the removal of local is limited to null-sec...but not low-sec/high-sec (empire space). And honestly....local is nothing more than trouble....aside from intel gather...its smack talk..spammnig....just a total waste of time...most socializing i do is in allinace/corp chats or private convos. But that's just my personal opinion.
100% agree |
