I don't know if it's possible, but I was wondering if it would be possible to switch the messages you receive from a crafting station, to the server message window. This way you can close it up and not miss tells or even people that comes up to you and chat.
It happens to be one of the good time to rp a bit and still do something, but with all those text that appears it is hard to do both at the same time. you can always asked them to party up then exclude the normal talk, but if someone that is not in your party comes up and start talking you wont see what they say.
Anyhow, nothing big, nothing of a priority either, just a small suggestion.
Or ever better, well maybe. Give an option in the station it self, to turn off the text that you will see appear in your chat window.
