I've been in chat a few times now, not many, but whenever I enter chat no one talks. Is there a reason to have a chat since most people don't use it to talk anyway? I think it's a legitimate question. Just saying...
There are times when people talk, just that no one really finds the point in being social. Most people use this site to just find out what they need to know about the game ("I CAN HAZ DOWNLOAD PL0X LOL" ) and then leave until they need help again.
