Skill Rank Up Messages

[bilbous]

I would like it if these messages could be optionally directed into the main chat window. That way I could monitor the main window while training and still see when it is time to go train or change practice weapons. Right now I am figthing a couple of aggressive monsters and so am not moving. I would like very much if I could monitor chat for a GM inquiry as What I am doing may appear to be botting. I could keep switching tabs but this is an uneccessary annoyance. To be clear I do not want the "gained some practice" messages just the "You have Ranked <skill> Up" ones. If this is already possible I would appreciate hearing howe it can be done. It would be more useful as well if these messages stated which skill has ranked which I think they do not currently.

Just so you know - GM messages are usually sent by /tell, so you'll see your tab blinking. In the case that you don't notice it, you may get a /warn - big red letters appearing on your screen, and also seen in every tab of your chat window. If that fails, the GM will make him or herself visible. So you have plenty of time and chances to poke them back if you're at your computer :}

I think Bilbous is saying about a "you have ranked >skill> up" message in the main chat window... I agree with Bilbous about that its a little annoying changing between tabs, but... that wouldn't show anyone when you've gained some experience?  

I think it could be a disadvantage because everyone will knows that you just reached a new skill (stat) level.

I find that a lot of the time tabs are blinking and I don't always notice another one. I suggested this idea in part so that I could respond in a timely fashion to a GM tell as tells go into main as well. I have received tells for one purpose or another from GMs and usually like to respond expeditiously so as to not waste their time. Now if I am watching the status line for a ranked up message I might not notice until I get a warning. I try to avoid that. All in all not a big deal but a tweak that I think would be an improvement.

This is the problem of lack of all tab. There will be always problems with missing some messages/someone else saying as long as we won't be able to customize every little thing to have it in the main tab. Little things like the one bilbous pointed out. When you are fighting and you simply want to see every message about, you will be just in system tab. In the meanwhile someone will be saying what don't interest you, so you switch back to system and ignore the blinking main chat as they are probably keeping talking. Isn't hard to miss something what someone else told specificaly to you.
Its a fact

Alternatively the rank up messages could be "warnings" like the ones for "you are already busy" although it might be best not to dilute that functionality.
