I was a bit befuddled by this particular feature, or rather lack there of as well for a time. Â However I'm okay with it, especially now as I'm trying to embrace my long dormant role player.
Firstly, from a game perspective, chatting with my group is likely to be more productive than chatting with someone outside of it. Â In fact chatting outside of it could become distracting and hinder my group. Yes, I understand that's reaching for straws for a decent justification, but it helps me sleep at night.
Secondly, from an RP perspective, well it's easy to come up with one reason or another that it just doesn't work IC.
