Agreed they need an easier/quicker way to mute someone though.

You're making it hard...it's very simple (it's different from Pc but not harder)
When time to invite, have them meet you somewhere and hold the menu button.
Select invite...

What about cross Alliance trade guilds?
Can't meet up with them then.

I've had to resort to going in an xbox live party in my own, because I was spending more time muting players. I either had kinects to close to the tv, kids screaming, music and best of all, a group of people all speaking languages u don't understand.
Initially I was trying to recruit for our guild, which is almost impossible! Because the first thing is being heard over all the noise, the second part is having to write gamertags as there is no easy way off adding them.
Then there is the awesome quick chat function that not a single person is using..Seriously, been on around 12 hours now a not seen a single person use it.
Seriously ZOS, something needs to change drastically.

why not...roll an alt, meet up, invite and move on.
I feel like ZOS may try, but they are simply out of touch w/ the needs of their community. : /
Turns what could be an absolutely fantastic game into a "pretty fun if you don't feel like playing something else already" fallback plan for me.
Such a shame.
Oh and its so terriblel to have that dreadful text chat you can turn off.
Any game with voice chat can be described with OP's post. One of the reasons I thought it was a terrible idea that the consoles do not have the option for text chat.
Voice only communication in an MMO is just not a good idea. Hopefully it doesn't kill too much of the console community.

Didn't you hear , you should just turn off all area chat , you know , they only way to communicate outside of guild/group.
Apparently turning off this awesome internally tested voice chat they didn't forsee problems with when the floodgates opened is the "solution".
(seriously I want to split time on the PC and PS4 , no remapping of controls , no text chat is plain silly , especially when the Producers specifically said in a Q/A before that you COULD hookup a keyboard and there would be text chat)

It seems those complaining are non-console perspectives who are expecting a PC like interaction on console.

You are still ignoring the fact that this doesn't even work as there's no guild invite option in that wheel menu.
