Discussions do happen in there, but at least the chat doesn't look dead. It's more inviting if it doesn't look like nobody even uses it. Where it gets bad is when the discussions contain spoilers, discuss inappropriate subjects that are forbidden in most places, or turn into heated arguments.

It's also a bad habit of a minority of people using it as a blog. "I queued for a roulette. I got a dps that got hit by an aoe. I just bought something from the market board", but this is a tiny minority of people and most people don't do this. Unfortunately, it only takes one person per network.

These things are quite seasonal. They can get bad on a given server when, say, a major patch or raid releases and then get better a month or two later and remain that way for 6 months.

Sprouts spamm the Network with Item Names and other crazy Stuff.
Maybe this is your experience in your specific novice network, but I don't normally see this in novice networks.

1. Those who wants only the Mount, Title, Rewards
You don't need to chat to get the mount, but most pve mentors I have asked aren't even expecting to get the mount regardless of if they do Mentor Roulette. It is a very big grind that is either going to consume your life or take absolutely years.
