What's with all the "chat" during raids

Last night got into WC and since the very beginning there were these 3-5 people that kept constantly chatting on Alliance channel, I mean constantly. So of course not long after we started we ....wiped.....no big deal it happens all the time...so we start the spider again and ....wipe.....they keep chatting non stop...so I ask if it would probably be a better idea to use the keys for skill mashing rather than (I swear) childish banter...about his mom their mom your mom and drinking etc....of course it went like that ...wipe....wipe...wipe...Finally thankfully abandon was voted on and we got a break from the BS.
Why do people find that to be the best time to chat? Yes I know youngsters but.....come on!!

maybe they have ADHD ;o

I mean I usually chat during the raids, granted I type really fast and I maintank/heal most of the time, so my extra DPS isn't necessarily mandatory.

It adds to the experience. The most fun raids are the ones with cross alliance chatter. As long as it's not at the expense of dps or lives, it's all good.

I usually chat as it is a better experience. I hate the silent runs!

In a Japanese data center no one ever talks in raids. Except to say "I'm sorry" and "Don't worry about it".

We could wipe 80 times over throughout the entire raid, but so long as we can get through the run without a single Gloriole comment, then I consider it a successful run.

Is sticky wicket and penetration comments allowed?

My fondest memories during 24 mans is when there's some cross-Alliance banter. The runs feel stiff and un-fun when no one is conversing and joking around. If it gets to the point where we're wiping because people are talking and not paying attention then yeah, that's a problem, but I don't see an issue with some friendly chitchat between bosses or on negligible trash.

Honestly, if you get to Ozma and don't go idiot fishing you're doing WC wrong.

Every time I get there I always say ''Man I'm glad they finally put invisible walls up in here" and without fail I get someone every time

Banter in raids is okay as long as everyone is dodging. Who doesn't love a good pew pew with some heart warming chatter? Oh how I miss you Garrus and Tali.

I think there's universal agreement that a bit of chat or banter is fine but excessive role playing or the posting of novellas most certainly isn't. Battle first, banter later.

I know what you mean. Garrus is my space boyfriend for life, and my boyfriend's space girlfriend is Tali. Being dextromancers, I have a soft spot for them. Even though I'm pumped for ME:A coming out next year, I feel like no one will top Garrus and Tali. In mmos aren't we all just looking for our squadmates to banter with during long elevator rides (like t4 lol)
