Having no World chat or Global chat makes this game feel dead for a newcomer. You see all the people but there is no talking. No one answers /say or /sh out in the field. This game doesn't hold your hand, it isn't super easy to get in a LS (need to physically get to the person) so I could see how new people could get frustrated by not being able to communicate with anyone when they start and just log off and never come back.
1. Make ignoring/reporting easy (Rift and Aion do a good job at this) Right click name and report/spam in the same click.
2. Don't make a short ignore list and the user must be able to clear list in one click.
3. Gil Sellers will and have used shout, so they need to be dealt with anyway. They will just stand in the city and /sh.
You know what had no global chat and had NONE of the things you listed? Final Fantasy XI.Having no World chat or Global chat makes this game feel dead for a newcomer.

oh god how did I miss this thread.... Global chat? hell no -.-
Like others have said, global chat would become to important to turn off, and at the same time you won't be able to look at it because it is spammed so much.

A global chat would destroy immersion. Come on, you aren't supposed to be talking to the whole world from anywhere. Isolation is needed.
