But, chat was eerily silent for all the people around me. I haven't payed it much attention, but earlier today I saw people talking in /say, and I half jokingly made a remark. Well, this is what went down.




Are the rules really this extreme where people are afraid to make the social game... well... social? and if so, what in particular is causing this?
I'm usually ↕chewing the fat↕ with 30-40 people in linkshells or limsa.

You're either not in the right area or on a dead server.

Also, unlike wow we have said linkshells where people spend most of their time chatting. We don't need to blatantly ignore trade chat because of the off-topic racist, sexist, homophobic spam in Ogrimmar that the GMs refuse to address. I unsubbed from WoW when I reported someone for suggesting that America should just "kill all the gays and get it over with" in trade chat and a GM told me that they saw nothing wrong with that and gave me a week's vacation for "abusing the report system."

Sincerely,

Someone who at one point was subbed to both games.
