Chat channels are cancerous in every game. People cried about the chat system in D3 sucking,but it doesn't matter- any iteration of it will beoverrun with trolls. I played in the ESO beta over the weekend, and I had to turn chat off because it was nothing but spam regarding WoW being better than ESO. I don't enjoy being aggravated, so I just game with my friends and stay away from the public channels.
