@main chat

[The Legendary Joe]

I view Main chat as a near fully established guild chat. Everyone on the server can see it and participate if they want. You have the party recruitments, you have the trade requests, and you have the random chatter. There are always going to be those immature goofballs (I myself view myself as one of them) and people who engage in stupid things you honestly don't want to pay attention to.

Like normal guild chatter, you can either ignore it, play along, or try to influence the conversation to go in a different direction. The latter is a bit tricky tho, you never know who'd be interested in the topic you're leading to, and it could get covered up by the ensuing chatter.

That said, I don't particularly care for peoples obsession with farts playing out on main unceasingly for an hour or two, but it's kinda lonely without main chat when you're solo-grinding. Though there are times when I'm feeling childish enough, I'd join in with my own retorts.
