Could you imagine what would happen if you were allowed to cross talk another local system? You would have people in local that aren't really in the system.



That could prove interesting! Let's try it for a day on 4/1/2013?

Doesn't Chribba have a tool which he uses to see the content of all the chats?

yes.
You could have one as well but it violates the eula due to using injection software.
Basically you would need CCP approval to do so.

Still I would like it if local was mirrored into the constalation chat so that you could converse with others.
Well except Jita

It wouldn't need to use injection software.
It doesn't even need to interface with the client at all.
The EVE client already writes chat logs to text files (if you have the option checked), all that you'd need to do is have someone in that system and have a program that reads those chat files at a regular interval.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

If I'm sitting in Dodixie... mission running... why can't I join the VFK-IV chat channel? or the Jita Chat channel?



The simple answer is, local is intended to be an intelligence gathering tool to make it reasonably safe to do things like mining and ratting in low and null, so that people will do things like mine and rat in null.

People already complain about how empty low and null are. Take away local, and there would be far, far, far fewer outside of high sec.

People already complain how their war targets rarely log in. Take away local and there would be far fewer that log in during war.


If you think, "Oh, I wish they would get rid of local so it would be easier for me to gank people" then you suffer from 1-dimensional thinking. You should take the next step. "Take away local, and those potential target would never have undocked in the first place."

Simple truth is, people are never going to participate in an activity that makes them a sitting duck. If your proposed change would make people sitting ducks if they perform certain activities, then all it will accomplish is causing people to no longer participate in the activity.
