People are anti-social as it is. They must be herded. Take to the whip.
Global affects game power dynamics. Incentivize local engagement rather than global.
With global chat, you can know what is happening at any point of the world in real time, no more ignorance of events,
"What the shit is happening in northern part of continent ?! lets get travel to there to know about it"
This is game generator, you have to chose, farm, or try to get informations, No more need to have social interaction with people to create bind with other people you can, later, ask informations, because unknown random dude will give those information directly in global chat.
RP is not a reason to make a game experience more difficult either you are in a big guild and wanting other people to be at a disadvantage to benefit you. I'm going to so far assume this is the case since you are in the DPS thread waning trackers for the 1-5%.
This is not 2002, with no global chat you simply allow guilds to have better information that other people in game, or on DISCORD. You simply will have people have discord on their second monitor to talking and people building discords for that.
FOR YOUR IMMERSION if you do not like global chat hide it and rp in the game. Pure immersion and rp elements is not a reason to remove gameplay elements.
sounds immersion breaking to me.
Honestly I would prefer to have only chat bubbles and zero chat box. But that is me. I understand that is probably a very unpopular opinion and never going to happen in a game in this year.
and I'm sure there will be unofficial servers people dedicate and go to that will have plenty of rpers. Just means there will be no weird rules where there are 1000's of tickets of people trying to get other people banned for not following their own rp rules.
Oh, no Global Chat was a personal preference, not a comment on RP. You are absolutely right that RP is not a reason for no Global Chat.
