I can't help to see you didn't give any reasons for why it's any good, since you can turn off auction/ooc.

You only mention why it's actually bad. You can't group or interact with people as easy and this is a mmorpg we are talking about :s
In my opinion, EQ is based (or very similar to) on DnD rules. DnD focused on real world rules/physics such as being able to hear people, sounds or whispers from a distance. If you were 50ft away from a guard speaking to a citizen, you would very likely not be able to listen in on that conversation unless you had some sort of ability to do so. Although you can hardly say EQ is realistic, the concept of it has realistic properties that are incorporated in game-play to some degree. Again I reference DnD, when you're a player - imagine yourself as the character and how you would interact with other players (people) to build relationships. While you may not play EQ for that reason, it is my opinion that this is what it was designed to be by Verant. Become your character and role-play as if you were a person roaming the lands of Antonica. /Tells are a far stretch but they're necessary to make the game playable at this point.

What I am saying may be gibberish and nerdy crap to a lot of you but it makes perfect sense to me. Of course I am only stating my opinion and respect everyone else perspective and views. I like the idea of a means of global communication but I also support building community relations more than this.
