With my browser width, this takes up the entire message pane. I stumbled across an active today and was killed before I even realized I was being attacked because the Arcane Trail spam flooded my entire message pane.
In addition, I am told by factionmates that having the AoE trigger on every attack also shows up on their message panes, which I imagine must also be annoying. I assume it's similar for non-factionmates. I don't know if they see both AoEs or just the one affecting them.
If AoEs always need to show some spam, then the simplest fix seems to be reducing the size of the message by cutting out the flavour text.
I have noticed this clogging up my message pane too. I only have Arcane Trail currently, I don't know if channeling trail triggers with a seperate message.
Making only the first trigger give a message would improve this, or from the Conduit side, just rolling it into the combat message.
