They can still talk on 200.

Sure.  If there's a conversation that is only of interest to those two players, do you want to be spammed with every one of those conversations that don't concern you?

99% of the talk on 200 is not directed at me.

I wonder what it'd look like if every PM went to 200.  I'm guessing it would be scrolling a lot faster.

Well it goes on the same text buffer and it doesn't really affect it, since pm are rare.

What's your source on that?  Maybe you don't get PMs often, others might.  If you saw every single PM conversation going on in the arena on 200 I'd expect it would be pretty constant scrolling.

Yeah, that works.  People who want to cross country chat have to tune it.  Not super convenient particularly if you're in a squad though.

Squad channel

I guess you could detune the blue channel to do that.  Otherwise you're losing country, 200, or squad.

Look on the bright side. Turning off cross country rage pm's will cut down on the purse fights in the M.A.
One night Scotty really let me have it with his purse (a real lethal weapon undetected by airport security).
