Someone people like it.... some people don't... we don't make you use it.
If you don't want to see all the crap (which i agree there is to much of it) you have the option to turn it off.
Just because you don't want to see it doesn't mean others feel the same.

I understand where you are coming from but at the same time we need to cater to everyone's needs and the option to have it on or off does that.

Uhm okay heres the deal.
You have 12 posts so I'm not sure you really know what kind of talk has been going on in game... perhaps you have.
I'm going to assume not.

If anything, chat should be disabled for new people and they should have to enable it if they want it.
You have to realize there are people who come here and see all the bullshit people give each other ALL DAY LONG,
all the profanity, all the *****ing and crying... I'm going to tell you right now, it doesn't 'attract' more players.

I vote yes, disable it.

Edit: Public Chat is a horrible idea in itself, there is much less player interaction going on in-game as well as the declining player base. If I had to guess why at least one of the reasons player base has taken a shit, it would be player chat. EASILY.

btw, bruce I saw you agree with the default of chat being OFF. wham.
