FF14 should have a global chat system

[Seiori]

Only if its optional to turn on and off, last time I was in an open chat there was heated arguments about whether Elvis Presley was a pedo and Political debates (I guess) with both sides tossing racial profanities and other derogatory terms at each other, oh and pineapple on pizza everyone's favorite topic (can also be found in NN once in awhile).

No thank you. Shout chat in the current spam zone is quite enough. And something we can escape if we choose to.

I will also have to vote, no thank you to this. and is that isnt strong enough, then simply HELL NO.

there is zero need for a global chat channel.

No. Simply, no. A major reason I left other MMOs was the presence of global chat channels becoming festering styes of filth and hate. The lack of such in XIV is one of the major reasons I appreciate the game. The last thing this game needs is a venue where people feel enabled to spew horrible things at each other.

Things like this make me glad I'm on a JP server.

i mean... maybe the NN would be used more like intended if they would add a global chat (one that is open for everybody), i wouldnt mind it can be hempful and so.etimes entertaining. people whon dont want ti read the bad stuff can just deactivate it

One of the beauties of MMORPGs is going online and watching drama unfold over all kinds of stuff. In just a few hours in Lost Ark's zone chat, I witnessed people debating economics, vaccines, China, censorship, capitalism and getting real mad and tilted at each other. There just isn't the same vigor in FF14. You can feel the energy pumping in the zone chat as people pour their soul into crafting witty insults and arguments over something that literally doesn't matter. I wish it happened more on FF14 because that energy is definitely there. I see it every day on the forums and subreddits! We can harness that power and create meaningful, player-driven content if we just made a global chat system for people to display their sincerely held unpopular opinions about all kinds of things!

The closest we have is novice network.
