Request for Regional Chat

That's a silly comparison. Then why don't we also get rid of DF and force people to only play with their friends, to limit interactions (in a MMO!) and cause less trouble?

Because there is no need to go to extremes. The current status quo is good enough.

You seem to be playing an mmo like a single player game. Easy to do in XIV, granted. But it is still an MMORPG. Massive Multiplayer Online being the key words here.

Hmmm...not wanting or not feeling the need for a world chat doesn't necessarily mean a person plays solo. Fc chat and linkshells are a thing you know.

I'm not against the introduction of a regional or world chat, but I don't particularly want it at all to be honest.

In every mmo I played chat channels like that tended to get quite toxic at times so I didn't really participate unless I needed to find a group for something. But with party finder and the LFD tools in this game that wouldn't be something I would need to do. So if we did get a chat like that I probably would just turn it off. I did turn off trade chat in WoW because it could get pretty bad.

I understand why someone would want a regional or world chat. I just don't want or need it for myself. But at the same time I wouldn't care much if it was introduced to the game. If it ends up being like other games I played, I'll just turn it off.

Playing an MMO does not necessitate a regional/world chat channel. With PVE/PVP contents, free company/linkshell/fellowship, novice network, say/yell/shout channels, etc., there are plenty of multiplayer activities.
