No Type chat support is going to murder this on consoles, I know this because it bothers me and i play alot of mmo's.. An i know others feel the same.
This is NOT a single player game per say... It is fundamentally an mmo you take the mmo aspects out what are you left with??

It makes it hard to be social, I don't want to be chatting on random group "when it works!" constantly just to commune my wife is going mental.. How are we supposed to join guilds? how are we supposed to be properly social?!

Removing this from the console version is absolutely ridiculous whoever at Zos decided that they should be shot. Clearly knows not how an mmo runs.. It doesnt feel like an mmo to me anymore.. and i regret buying it on console.

Other games make this feature work fine... If people dont for some weird reason like this or dont have a usb keyboard.. you clearly dont like MMO's and what come with it..

I will probably stop playing now due to this.. its just ..boring.. And I imagine a lot of other people will too.
I like the game and if they enable this I sure as hell will return.

It is for me however a dealbreaker.

Any way this will be implemented in the near future?

Peace.
