#Add a Text Character Counter to Normal Chat

Game completely deincentivizes talking in it because of this. Now that guild chat is also not immune, I can't even hide there
Or at the very least just make it so that you can't input any characters past the cap in general
This happens to me so often, I would really love to have this feature. I didn't even know what the character limit was, so I was always living in fear of my text getting eaten lol.
Awhile back I mistook my messages not sending as me tripping the sensor/filter or something.
I personally would like to see it not just wipe my entire message if I go over the limit.
until this maybe one day gets addressed, i recommend ctrl-c any time your type a longer message so you can paste it back to trim it instead of having to retype the whole thing
Good rule of thumb as well is if it passes the System tab in the chat bar, odds are that it will get eaten (as pointed out by Kemiah in a thread last year around a similar topic)
-# Obviously depends on the message: if it's a string of smaller characters like l or . then it'll cut off much sooner
The funny thing is that this mechanic is too combat the gold sellers who spam, but the gold sellers never really were affected by this anyway
Considering that I can log in and find a bot spamming in current year
