    Facts:
    - Every time I want to send a message to party or guild chat, I have to add /p or /g before it.
    - I almost never willingly use public chat.

    Conclusion:
    Having to use a command for the vast majority of my messages is annoying.

    Proposed suggestion:
    Add a /chat p command that makes it so every message sent afterwards is automatically sent to party chat.
    (Plus /chat g for guild chat.)
    (And, of course, a command to turn it off and make messages be sent to all-chat instead.)
    (Oh and a command to explicitly send a message to all-chat, like /a, couldn't hurt, either.)


    Pros:
    - This would be convenient for party or guild chatters.
    - This would limit accidentally sending out-of-context messages to the whole wide world.

    Possible cons:
    - Some egos may be misguidedly bruised because a certain other large Minecraft server came up with /chat p and /chat g first, and this could feel like copying it in some way. Counterpoint: I don't care. That server doesn't care. Nobody cares.
    - This was already suggested a few times over the years and yet staff chose not to implement it. Counterpoint: that was a different community, with a different staff roster, in a different era of Wynncraft — what may not have been worth acknowledging back then may be worth acknowledging now that there has been a chat update.
    - Dev time. Counterpoint: suggestions aren't a presidential order to drop everything you're doing in order to make sure the idea gets implemented in-game by end of day. It can wait. No one's acting like this is the end of the world. Consider using to-do lists or other project planning resources such as Trello.
    - This may not be useful to many people, or everybody is already used to not having QoL features. Counterpoints: /toggle blood sets an incredibly low bar already, and "we don't NEEEEEED this to survive" is a bad argument because then why did humanity invent cheese or eyeglasses or Wikipedia or sign language or Dragon Ball Z or the V.S.S. Seaskipper or quest beacons or auto-pickup for the Emerald Pouch, or— and so on.
