Wrong.
there was NEVER a reply all button.
Choosing not to implement such a mundane feature after all this time has the same effect as choosing to remove it.
the only thing that was added was that gold-colored message saying, "Are you sure you want to send this to the whole realm"
That's irrelevant to the topic at hand.
a reply all button would have LESSENED realm-wide messaging, and so would have been a good thing.
Care explaining how the hell you figure that?
( the way the code is written for messaging, I think it is a little arduous to try to change, and so was never added.)
Considering that "reply to all" is available elsewhere, and the time for which the game has been running, I don't consider this argument to be valid.
but then again, if you'd ever take a moment to read things carefully instead of just constantly bitching about everything you can think of, you'd already understand that.
A "reply to all" option was never made available because of a fear it would create realm-wide spam, therefore forcing the players to continue using the old method of going back to the message page between each message and selecting "to all realm mates", therefore keeping a method that forces multiple clicks and that breaks a flow that could be quite smooth instead of upgrading to a more user-friendly and faster method that they have adopted for other message groups.
Now, which part did I misunderstand?
