Just wondering. It seems to have been carried over from world of warcrafts murloc spam. Sometimes it will make me chuckle a bit other times it can be extremely annoying.
Well, that's pretty much how they speak. I'm sure if a person that speaks English listens to someone who speaks Vietnamese or Mandarin, it may sound like Murlocs or Jawas talking too. In fact, my wife laughs when I speak Cantonese, then relates it to Murlocs.
Depends, if someone makes a pun in a conversation then yeah it can be funny, but if everyone makes that same pun for 40 minutes straight... not so much.
It can be funny if it is executed properly. Most of the time it is annoying and spammed way too much into the chat IMO.
