Pause and Think before Shouting

[Wolfie]

I like talking to strangers in shout very much and therefore won't stop doing it, thank you.
It's what makes a game social, random interaction, one of the things most people coming from other games complain about with FFXIV is that they stand in a city with 400 players around them and no one says a single word.
It's like a ghost town.

What I feel is even weirder is that there are certain linkshells and people in them that don't like talking in LS chat. I have been part of 5 different LSes now and I've ran into people who answered me in tells and told me having a conversation in LS chat is rude.

dafuq?
