Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason there is no built in chat program? Something that can be turned on or off through the settings function. Join a group, instantly able to chat with your group without worrying about a 3rd party program. There is no way to control what some people may say, but the benefits outweigh the problems since if you don’t want to be included in the chat, you turn it off at the settings. people will get used to it, and if anyone doesn’t want to be included, just type so and in my experience, as I have been in a group where every one else was in a chat, but I didn’t want to join at the moment, people still type instructions and respond to you.

I just think it would be awesome if when you grouped, you were seamlessly placed in a chat with them. same with WvW, but there would have to be options for group/squad/map.

If there are technical reasons as to why this isn’t plausible, please let me know.
