Basically no one has ever thought they didn't have enough trumpets and it's easy to think they just "don't mean anything."

But I think that's kinda the point... any NORMAL USER should have more than enough trumpets to just never worry about them. A normal user shouldn't feel like they can't use chat because they have to conserve trumpets. It's great we have more than enough of them.

They're there so that people can't spam chat. If you have a brand new account then you actually won't have a ton of trumpets - good, new accounts don't need to be spamming chat!

I'm curious if the original poster is a new player on a new server or something... if so then it's very possible you think trumpets limit how much you want to use world chat. Well... trust me when I say you won't have to play the game very long to not pay any attention to your trumpet count AT ALL. You get plenty of trumpets. Don't worry about wasting them.

If, however, anyone IS actually running out of trumpets? Well... no one needs to talk so much that you're actually running out of trumpets!
