/Yell & Rmt counter measure

I don't see why there is a need for a proactive party search. That would mean the content finder isn't doing it's job. As for LS/FC, it's a matter of opinion. Some prefer shouting for random people, some invite people after they got to know them a bit. Trading... there are market wards/AH for that. If people want the item, they will go there, shouting doesn't magically make someone want your stuff.

Because with a proactive search you can potentially target people who aren't actively using these other systems but would still like to do whatever it is that you're searching about. There are numerous times in WOW where I've join people on group quests, raids, PVP, and whatever else because someone asked about it in zone or global chat. It's also used to set up "pre-made" battleground and dungeon groups, instead of relying on randoms from the cross realm dungeon/raid/PVP finder.

And it also has invaluable use for people who don't know what to do in a game, because they can just ask zone/global chat about something, and get an answer right away, instead of having to dig through fansite guides or wait on forum posts.

Let me ask you this, why are you so against a feature that is optional?

This can't be argued. This post is simply fact. ^

I've gotten groups thanks to trade chat when I couldn't via content finder. Happens all the time. People just don't always use content finder yet are willing to join you if asked or if they see you in chat.

Make it an optional room though, not something you're forced to see. Sometimes you just want peace and quiet.

the thing with it being optional... once you disable it and someone uses it expecting you to use it too, it will end up in "Y U NO LISTEN?!" misunderstandings. And having to turn it on/off all the time is a bother.

Pros outweigh cons in my opinion.

I didn't play enough of TERA to play around with chat channels, but practically every (good) MMO with chat channels have them as optional things that you can leave and join from anywhere at any time.

It had the option to turn it off to but as mentioned in other posts, by turning it off to avoid the chaos it brings, you also miss out then on possible grouping as no one seems to want to look for people besides hoping they hear the plea for help over various random discussions about who's hot, who's looking for erp and why alienware is so much better then your pc.
