You could be right about that toggle Celyia, but I still have my doubts. SEs track record of things done right in MMOs continues to decline in my eyes. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic, it's just how I feel :\

And when it comes to my experience with global chats, again, I just feel like it creates a window for people to act like fools. Yeah, sometimes they do /shout or /say stupid things but that's pretty rare so far and a limited audience. Some people really get their jelly beans off though by talking nonsense when they think a lot of people are listening to them. I mean cmon...just look at the forums!

Its true SE has made alot of mistakes but if they treat public chats like they did in FFXI, ive heard of stories of ppl getting temp bans and what not just for shouting curse words in towns and getting reported.
So to be honest I dont worry about ppl acting like fools too much, but its always possible it could become a place where too many ppl regularly type things like "tele plz" and " selling/buying these items" etc.

I guess that's my point. Even if SE gets it right, the players are still going to "break" it so to speak by using it without shame.
