Remember when people used to socialize in Trade Chat? Now if you ask a question or make a comment either dead silence or told to shut-up.
not sure what trade chat you’re talking in, I ask questions and answer questions all the time.
Yes, trade chat is pretty dead. Most of it is just “carry run” sale spam/advertising these days.
It used to be fun in the past though, it’s a shame.
If by “socialize” you mean “political jabbering and bad memes” we’ve still got plenty of that.
Shut up.

That’s not true at all. A little while ago I asked trade chat to help me figure out how many cups of pudding I’d need to fill a swimming pool, and they did! They even told me how much it would cost! It’s a lot, by the way.
what flavor
chocolate
Ever since vanilla, first thing I’ve always done is to shut off trade chat. Lol
Probably depends on your server. People on my server seem to be nicer than other servers I played on, specifically higher pop servers.
I think that is it. The lower the population the ruder the trade chat. Fricken Trump.
lookingforgroup chat is the new trade chat
Trade chat is for trading. Try gen chat 
The game world feels empty, it’s like attending a funeral nobody showed up for.
Yeah, I remember anal spam and Thunderfury. I haven’t been in trade chat in years.
Yea her YouTube channel was pathetic .
What does the potus have to do with people telling you to google something when you ask a question? You folks are really out of your minds.
Well it is “trade” chat.
It might depend on your server, how closely people use it correctly.
I only shut off trade chat because it isn’t about “trade.” If people ask a question in “general”, I’ll answer that.
good, you have good flavor.
I’ve always made a separate Trade window then direct Trade chat, General and Local Defense to it.
Really cuts down the chatter.
