Change /h and /help error message.

Currently /h and /help gives an error message if used to try to message the help channel.

"Usage:h takes 0 args, you gave 3."

I suggest adding to this the following:

"Use /hc to talk on the help channel."

Additionally, if the help channel is the default channel of the tab, it should use /hc instead of /help behind the scenes.

my biggest question is, why, after 5 years, did they decide it was a good idea to switch /h and /help from being accessing the help channel to opening the in-game help (which is, for the most part, useless)

that being said, if it must remain, I like your idea.

I think you underestimate our fools, sir.

Why /duel is a bad idea

Because people were thinking that the help tab would magically grant them assistance through the UI.

It was amusing to see how many different people would try to bring up some kind of help window in one night.

/help macros
/help map
/help hellions
/help binds
/help trainer

These people aren't watching their chat box in order to figure out that they are talking into a chat channel, and not attempting to pull up some sort of UI index of assistance...or if they are, they are surprised when people answer them instead of popping up a window or some automated text.

Of course, these people are still not watching their chat box, which means they're not seeing the error...or if they are, they don't know what it means...and the game falls a notch in understandability.

/help wasn't in the game at launch.

/h and aliases should also open the help menu regardless of the number of arguments given... =/

Yes, "/help macros" should open a help window and show help for macros .

The /help change to open the help window benefits no one, but is likely to remain .

[/ QUOTE ]It benefits people who thought /help was the command to open the help window, though if they're trying to pass arguments to it they're still lost.

Most people that use /help are trying to get the window open and information on a specific subject.
