Gaudrath✭✭✭What Tiyamel said. And it's a bit of a feedback loop, people turn off /zone chat because its spammy so you get even less normal chatting. That's the primary reason the auction houses were invented in other games but ZOE thought they would be clever about it.
As for /say and the lack of it, it happens when you don't have chat bubbles. That's the only thing conductive to local convos.1 -

That, and nameplates... not being able to readily know who's nearby is detrimental to the community aspect as well.-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

reagen_lionel✭✭✭✭I think its more of the lack of chat bubbles than name plates.
Someone speaks, no one knows until minutes later when they or whoever the person that spoke is long and gone.1 -
Gaudrath✭✭✭Both chat bubbles and nameplates should be in the options for players to customize their play experience. Not having those is just lazy these days.
Sometimes I just can't understand what the developers were thinking when they omitted such essential options... it's like there is a retro design trend in the gaming industry...Edited by Gaudrath on April 11, 2014 7:45AM2 -

They didn't omit them, they thought they were very dumb ideas and ruined immersion. Welcome to TES, I hope your stay will be long and possibly quiet

I can understand the lack of nameplates ruining immersion. You can still target someone with the reticle and know who/what they are.
but there is no feedback for who,what and where someone said anything anywhere without chat bubbles. Making any sort of communication both RP and in general just way more of a hassle than it would be. Infact the lack of chat bubbles ruins immersion more than having them. having chat bubbles is akin to actually hearing someone, you know where, when and who said what, just like if someone was in a room with you.
Now if a bunch of people in one room got to talking all at once. Good luck keeping up with the conversation without being resorted to ignore everyone else besides the person you're talking to. And if you're talking to all of them. Ha! good luck with that.

I guess nobody explained to them the meaning of the word "optional". We may be dealing with the "Lucas" syndrome here. A big game designer celeb with a retro/minimalist fetish around whom nobody has the guts to say "man, that's a dumb idea".1 -

I think part of it is that folks can be members or 5 guilds, I actually talk in Zone quite a bit, but it may be that folks are just in guild chat.What is written above are my honest opinions. If you agree then; "Great!" If you disagree; "Great!" I really couldn't care less either way.0 -

Ah, you were trying to be sarcastic? Can I then assume that you are one of those people who are allergic to the despicable idea of having options? Do incorrectly set checkboxes in my settings ruin your immersion perchance?1 -

Absolutely! I can't sleep at night thinking of people having options. It...steals my breath...I feel....choking....Edited by mutharex on April 11, 2014 9:05AM1 -

yes, I tend to turn off zone chat during prime hour, plenty of talking going on but more trading and LFG, turn it on in slow hours.Jadeviper1974 wrote: »lycanslerwb17_ESO wrote: »Not much chatting going on in game.

Did not know that. All other games that invented auction houses did it primarily to reduce chat clutter. Huh. Not for player's economy or a gold sink or even as a profit (D3 lol) but for chat. Makes sense.Do you even backstory, bro?0 -

I use a mod called SimpleChatBubbles for /say and /tell messages although it can be set for other channels as well. It pops a bubble up in the main screen (up to 6) which at least lets you know when someone /says something or sends a /tell. I missed a lot of these prior to this because I was often not even glancing at the chat box.As for /say and the lack of it, it happens when you don't have chat bubbles.

The bubble doesn't appear next to the player who used /say (which must be impossible to do for an addon) but at least the pop-up bubble will let you know someone nearby said something. It's very useful indeed.
