#### New stuff in local chat, love it or hate it?

I've noticed that the rube, crab, and animals suffering during rook attacks now show up in local chat (sort of spamming the place up). How do you all feel about it? Overkill, or just right?
Personally, I could go without it. Generally, I am paying enough attention in-game that I don't need to read something in two spots at the same time. I'm thinking maybe they are talking in local chat in case the text bubbles goes away and you missed something, so you can scroll back?
also, drop me a note if there's a similar post about this...

- I don't care about any of that. Just tell me what I accidentally donated to a shrine.
  WHAT DID I LOSE? OH GOD THE HUMANITY!

- Yes devs...it would be really nice to have a little pop up after we donate each time, especially if we donate something by accident so we can replace it asap.

- I have not experienced this!

- I agree with you Saraphim. I could do without the additions to Local Chat.

- I think it would be wonder if these types of chat could go into separate chat window, like Global Chat or Live Help. I could go look at it if I wanted to see what was being said, or I could close it if I didnt care.

- Love it!
  I want everything to do that. Why don't gnomes do it? Ugh!

- Buttercup: Like a Play Info Chat or something? Gotta say, having all the harvesting/building actions separate would make Local Chat a bit better for, you know, chatting ;)... especially if Global Chat is being removed or modified. I never really need to look at my action logs in both Local Chat and the small black boxes in the upper left concurrently, but it'd be great to have a log of actions nice and tidy in another chat window.
  The problem is, I think, when certain actions are a little bit of both, such as Charades Potions and Race Tickets (sure there's more examples...). Also, introducing another type of log/chat might be both clunky and confusing for players. *I* would like it, though :)
  Back to the topic, I like having more info available somewhere I can check if I missed it.

- Rube and crabs and frogs are ok, but the rooked animals i could do without.

- Foxes don't do it either. I would like to have a record of the "I was quick, but you were quicker" :)

- But if we do animals, then our local chat will be all spammed up.

- There have been calls for a separate chat window for personal actions for a long time (I've started/responsed to some in the Ideas forum). Never have read any response from devs about the idea (there may have been some, but I've never heard of any). It would make life simpler in chatting. People chat and Action chat just gets too mixed up, so I often ignore it altogether.

- I like the rube part because sometimes I mistakenly trade something.
  I also like the idea of the donating part, because I ALWAYS donate stuff on accident and don't know what I'm missing.
  (There should be a confirm of what you want to donate.)

- mostly Rube is good, others are bad
  because the rube is actually having a conversation with you, you need to say Yes or No. And when I play with the screen zoomed out i can't see what he's offering, and by then i can't unzoom.
  All the others you can ignore, or just click OK. Once you know what they say (I'm talking to you frog) you don't really need to read it every time.
  however "You have traded/donated item x" is a good idea in any case

  Yes, like that. It already says Local Chat/Activity. What if it wast two tabs right beside each other. Local Chat, then Activity. You could click between both. You would get all the vocals of animals, npcs, etc. in a box separate from Local Chat.
