It's not about being anti-social...at lest not as far as I persoanlly am concerned. Yes, currently there isn't any spam because of low pop but what "if the PS3 launch if one happens changes that? Now, instead of a decent way to create/join PTs, we have this chat channel loaded with crap no one cares about and we still don't have a way to search /sea all yada yada. Just sayin. It's not imho a priority. It's a nice little what if.

If you don't want to miss a shout for a PT, hang out where everyone else hangs out just like in XI. Otherwise, join a LS and request a decent search function rather then more crap to have on the screen to sift through to find something you may have missed.
