Is it just me or does anybody else find it jarringly strange when an avatar suddenly breaks the silence by publicly laughing out loud, when typing "lol" in private chat? I realize this is such a minor thing but it always gets me when a single avatar in a crowd of mutes standing around the auction suddenly breaks out in laughter like a schizoid simpleton.
No other sound auto-plays just from typing a few characters in private chats, to my knowledge. It actually makes sense when players "lol" to conversations in the local chat, but not when someone "lols" in a private conversation, but their avatar brays laughter in public.
I'd suggest disabling the sudden, disembodied public laughing when people type "lol" in private chat windows. But that's just me. It's just frickin' weird every time it happens. :scratch2:
