Fading text chat

As someone who in general can bimble along at my own pace solo there are times when i require the help of other players due to the game design. eg Boss daily quest in Wrothgar .
so why oh why does the text fade after 10 second or so. Now i have searched on the forums for this topic and there was an entry in MARCH 2014 regarding this issue a reply was made by Zos chisstrasz in APRIL 2014 stating he or she was going to check to see if this could be addressed in later builds, We are now 4 YEARS LATER and this has still not been looked at . Please can someone who can see look at it again its pretty stupid to have a chat text where you have to stop playing to chat, and for a game that is actually quite brilliant in many respects this is amateurish by comparison

    There is a setting for that on consoles at least, not 100% sure for PC. options > interface > chat > fade rate. Adjust it to increase or decrease the fade :)

    You can also just pull up the Esc menu in-game, go to Settings, then Social, and adjust the slider for Minimum Transparency. If it's all the way down the chat disappears as you're describing but you can keep it visible via the slider.

    I have found the slider and moved it as far up as possible and yet the text does eventually go so it does not remain as a constant. it would be nice to think that someone somewhere could fix this

    Ahh that's right, I'm one of those looking for as little UI as possible so I hadn't messed with the setting in a few years, I see it's just for the menu itself and not the text. It seems rather pointless.

    For now looks like your best bet is Majeure's suggestion.

    Thanks for the reply people but like the idiot i am i have failed to state i'm on x box.
    I cannot see why this simple thing seems to be beyond fixing
