You say this is common?
Seems crazy to develop a chat function but you don't want anyone to use
Some of you guys must not have played many MMOs in the last decade or so. Throttling is a very common chat feature that prevents people spamming the chat for whatever reason (gold farmers, people just generally being douchey etc). 5 minutes feels like an eternity when you just have to say something, but it's not that long. It does suck when it kicks in when all you are trying to do is correct a typo or get people co-ordinated, but them's the breaks.
