People need a global chat channel to talk in. The easiest solution to this problem is for Square-Enix to just make a global chat channel like Novice Network, but for general chatter. And then everyone would chill in there over Novice Network.

It really doesn't help that there are toxic people on both sides and that makes it worse. If it was just the general chatter people being toxic--then the "NN is for newbies only!" people would have a leg to stand on, but they're guilty too. I can't tell you how many times I've had legitimately good conversations in Novice Network. There will be no one asking questions with a fun, creative atmosphere and some douchebag chirps in "hey NN is just for helping people!" Like no @@@@ Sherlock, but no one is asking questions. How dare you come in here and start making a scene and derailing from the pleasant conversation going. There's a lot of 'holier than thou' people out there who just want to see everyone else bend the knee to their way of thinking--even if it's negative for the community. So if we get a global chat channel then all the prudes can stay in Novice, and the cool kids can hang out in global.

Again, I can't state again how good it would be to get an official global chat channel. And to anyone who says "oh just form a linkshell."--bugger off. That's a bad suggestion and you don't understand how global chat works. The same for 'Join a FC" or "use shout chat."

The bottom line is. Novice Network can and WILL be the global chat channel until Square-Enix gives one. I think that's a valid cause everyone can get behind. Maybe y'all should petition for one or something. However that works.
