If this is true then my thread is mute point. I have no idea how "chat channels" work as my MMO experience is limited to a very small handful of games. Someone mind explaining the basics to the daft?

You don't understand my point.

Assume I want to go kill Garuda but there are no shouts.
I want to hang around the guilds in Gridania, or go hit trees with my axe, yet suddenly there is a PUG forming in Ul'dah for Garuda.
In order for me to see this I would have to be in Ul'dah, so I miss the opportunity to do Garuda because I chose to hit logs while I waited.
This happens to a lot of us, very often. You often have to decide whether to leave town and do solo content during a quiet time on the server or stand around in town waiting/forming a shout.
So what do you do? Miss out on a PUG and farm, or stand around and scratch your butt in a central hub.
