Idea for "Area Trade Chat" It would improve the lives for us all!

After reading a post about trading threads being removed from the forums http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/214628/why-are-trading-threads-not-allowed#latest
I wanted to use a poll to check and see if we could get this into the game.
Since ZOS is standing firm on not allowing Console to have a basic communication tool like a text chat system. Maybe ZOS would allow us to have a "Trading Area" voice chat. I for one do not like having to spam area chat to buy or sell items when people are trying to find groups. At the same time I do not like to hear some poor guy trying to spam sell Daedra Hearts when I am trying to form a group!
@ZOS If you are not willing to give us what every MMO in history has can you at least meet your players in the middle and let us have a "Trader Area Chat" so we can salvage some sort of economy for this game? I do nto know the reasons you will not adda text chat system for the console gamers, but I will trust that you have a very good reason so will you PLEASE at least meet us halfway on this? It will help with the people that are not interested in trading and only want to use Area Chat for finding groups as they will not have to hear trade spam!
I am sure everyone here has been in area chat when fights almost break out over too many people talking at the same time and over shouting eachother. This is a simple fix and would go a long way to improving the community as a whole.
Lets see those votes.

ontheleftcoast✭✭✭✭✭I don't get why ZOS doesn't have channels. Seriously, this is basic stuff in MMOs where you've got your trade channel, your 'looking for group' channel, your 'harassment channel' (commonly called 'area/zone chat'), and hosts of private channels. I guess they're totally committed to the broken LFG tool and so-so Trade Kiosks because they designed them and no matter how poorly they work by Zenithar they're sticking to them!

In my signature there are ESO live episodes that the company shares their thoughts and logic of how they intend on creating a presentation for consoles if you're curious as to why.Edited by NewBlacksmurf on September 7, 2015 6:20PM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

No as ZOS puts a lot into each show for their community. I shouldn't take my understanding and write it for others but I should refer anyone to the source.
If they have questions or concerns those would be of the users interpretation rather than mine.
This way it avoids arguments
It's bad enough that ppl argue about what I may write from a ZOS broadcast but worse if they argue without watching it themselves....hoping to not be a part of the problems here in this forum.

✭People would still use the main channel to get the attention of the widest possible audience for selling their wares. I'm not against channels as an option. I just think too many people wouldn't use the proper channel anyway.
What I would like to see added to voice is more granular controls. The ability to adjust the volume level of individual players as just one example. That may not help others hear you, but would go a long way toward quieting things down on your end.
Voice chat is wonderful in small groups, but a nightmare with a large amount of people not focused on the same conversations. This is where text chat excels, in my opinion. I don't play any other multiplayer games on console, but I am guessing all the voice usage in those mmo/shooter types of games are always with a small group of people. Maybe ZOS thought that would somehow work in ESO the same way.PS4 Pro NA1 -

Most likely what would happen. People can't even manage to use the correct forum categories for posting here lol.
More controls like Tholian suggested might be the better choice.

✭Trying to talk over the guy going on and on about selling drafts hearts or the guy trying to form a group I can deal with. It's the 8 year olds, sex parties, random music, and constant arguing is why I'd like a dedicated trade channel. (I'd much rather just have text chat but this would be better than the current system)0 -

Funkopotamus✭✭✭✭✭With all of the post about the trade system and the text chat I would have thought we would have received more that only 20 votes on this....
I dunno about or community sometimes lol.
Oh well I honestly thought this would get more steam behind it than this ..
