Cool to see this thread - I agree completely. I said a long time ago when i transferred to WoW that vent was killing the mmo scene.
I don't mind it so much now, to be honest. But things seemed so much more... organized.... when I played EQ -raid/guild had to be clear during instructions, etc. In WoW I implemented a system 'don't talk in raid' - so they made chat channels for 'BSing' in. And then vent destroyed any semblance of organization
I still liked both games, and nowadays I don't mind hopping in and talking to people.
