    No.

    Be happy with what you have or play on a PC (we have chat and add-ons).
    Oh so you play on a console? Well this is a console game after-all I suppose.

    Console really does need one. It'll be slow to type everything out, yes. But at least you'd be able to TALK if you don't own a mic.

    They should include a console friendly method to repeat phrases too. so they don't have to type "looking for help doing x or y with Z" etc.

    It is a much needed add on, much more private than a mass of people talking at once.

    Pretty sure all PS4 units come with a *** mic...
    I'm Not defending the fact that we need a chat however. There are psn channels and communities, but their not cutting it. People leave the channels as soon as they don't work out in a week, and they never grow to the size we need for a real "community".

    NO Chat for you. lol
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.
    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    Some of the quick notes are okay. Handy in group quests I've found but trickier if you're trying to say something specific

    1) Bots and chat logs to ban offending players. No such method exists for voice chat.
    2) Again, bots can limit spam and chat logs can be reviewed. Also, you can quickly ignore/mute users.
    3) Universal problem, at least you don't ave to hear their whiny voices.
    4) Still better than hearing music and vulgar language. Bots can temp ban offending players.
    5) Good to know you're done.

    Exactly! Although I hope I would be able to use a keyboard to type.

    Well yeah we are TES fans so will always be here.

    Does not change the fact we console players need a chat box.

    For the record I have 3 friends who did leave the game because of this, so I am sure plenty others do, by the day.

    I may not be on console but I can give you the best reason. The hearing impaired. Nuff said.

    Soon I will finish cadwells gold. When I am done I will most likley move on to another game and not return. No text chat is the #1 reason. This game could be great. Its just missing a few STANDARD mmo functions.

    1. People belong to five guilds but can listen to only 1 guild voice chat.
    2. People with more than one friend cannot use voice chat to reach all of them.
    3. People who are questing cannot use guild voice chat in group voice chat.
    4. People with social anxiety disorder cannot use voice chat.
    5. People with hearing problems cannot use voice chat.

    The magic word is multi-channel communication.
    Only one available communication channel is killing this MMO on consoles.
    ESO already seems more dead than alive. Better do not waste more time...
