Suggestion: Improved Chat Features.

I'm not a fan of the idea. These kind of channels are what cause so much of the stupid anti-social behavior that you see on certain other MMOs and also present an ENORMOUS opportunity for the resurgence of a more effective wave of RMT.

This is something that could easily happen even with /shout yet it is very rare to see /shout abused in such a fashion. When abuse does happen it can be reported via (Help Desk).

also...RMT is a problem no matter what game you are in. FFXI has dealt with RMT better than most games. RMT has always had the ability to use /shout to advertise yet you never see them shouting. I can't even remember the last time I saw an RMT shout. Even if they did use a general chat channel to "advertise" they are giving themselves away as RMT and would quickly get banned. Any RMT issues can and should be reported with (Help Desk).
