Bu that doesn't stop them from using vent or team-speak or whatever other system they want to do it anyway. Plus, when in this game would such a communication become an advantage to anyone? No one is raiding the opposing factions Fleet in TOR. Are they?

Really, other than avoiding the trash talk (which exists in same faction anyway), I just don't see the point in not allowing inter faction chatting.

Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

Yeah, I pretty much agreed with you a page back. It would be a big issue if there were open world PVP with objectives, but since there is not, it doesn't serve much purpose.

I played a MMO where you could cross faction chat
I can not recall any faction related abuse in the many years I played it directed at me, even when PvPing.
I have never supported the idea that people should use tools like that as an excuse to be a tool themselves.
Always supported it, even thought having it off by default with the ability to toggle cross faction communication on would have been the best of both worlds
/ignorefaction

However its lucky only the other faction trash talks, and gets abusive huh?
Be terrible if you had to listen to it from your faction!

I typed out a response and promptly closed my tab. Main talking points: Our opinions differ slightly, this is fine. Tis good to have opinions. I also mocked RP reasons again. It wasn't too clever a jab, so no big loss.

It already is, just use /general. I'm not kidding either. Sometimes the imps slip up like that and I get the chance to counter.
