#### Conch feat really bad idea

I loved the pilgrimage of esquibeth quest, and the music the conch plays. Then you made a feat to play it at others. Now I can't step foot in the world without people conching me. I was surprised at how quickly it became annoying. The conch music is hard to ignore, which is great when you want to hear it, but is awful when you weren't expecting it. It's as intrusive as an alarm clock or smoke alarm, except those I can shut off or hit with an ax or something. I usually have a high tolerance for pranking and fun, but I can't tolerate this. I'm going to have to stop playing until the conching dies down.

- Seems like overkill to me. You could just turn the sound off?
  (alternatively, everyone could realize that the feat is over and just, well, you know... stop)

- Dunno. I spent the last hour in the world, and nobody played music at me. Seemed like a great idea to me. :)

- you could also meditate or play a short music block that you enjoy. both of those will stop the conch song.

- I'm with Grem. I just played an hour and didn't notice the music anywhere. And I was around a host of Glitchen. Maybe Adamonster is being pursuing by conch-ientious players!

- What about pressing the mute button or just not going anywhere near Cebarkul for the next two hours.
  I work in an open office environment IRL and have built up quite a bit of tolerance to constantly listening to peoples crappy music and endless chatter about stuff I don't care about. I wish in IRL I could have the opportunity to either close down global work chat when something offends me or hit the mute button when I don't want to hear a repetitive noise.
  I would suggest just using the tools available to you in game, or perhaps stepping away for a while as you have suggested if it offends you enough to make what must be the 100th forum post about the feat/conch today.

- It will die down soon enough, right now its just that its new. Also it depends on where your currently at,. as long as you avoid the highly populated areas, Ix, Cerbukul, Madhur Hatur, Groddle Forest Junction, etc, it should be reduced. Until then there is always the mute button.

- You know how it is when people find something new in their bags - they keep wanting to whip it out and see what it can do.
