I really dont see The problem with this idea.
Some guilds wants to focus on other things than chat and for those guilds this is Great.
Its an option for guilds to work The way The leader wants, if you need to guild chat, there are plenty of guilds for that.

The reason I don't like it is because:
1) All the problems/situations Thallen listed can easily be solved by blocking/kicking the person.
2) If someone is being annoying and you still want them to work for you but you don't want to hear them talk, that's basically like slavery. You can't just expect to recruit someone and make them work for you but not allow them to talk. If that happened to me I would immediately leave the guild.
3) A bunch of guild leaders who tower will probably only allow their friends to talk.
4) It will in result in members spamming the leader "PLEASE LET ME TALK IN GUILD CHAT PLEASE PLEASE"
Thallen gave an example earlier:
|
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Thallen: Hey Livid, you're an active contributor to this guild, but sometimes you're annoying and making it hard for the guild to function when you spam guild chat. Could you please stop?
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Livid: THALLEN PLS GIVE ME HAT
Thallen removes your guild chat permission
So, what's so bad about that?

Ok first of all, you can block/kick him. But since apparently you don't like the thought of losing help for guild, you'd rather just take away his privilege to talk in the guild chat.
This is basically how I saw it:
Livid: spamming Thallen for the hat even though apparently he is an "active contributor" to the guild. (if he really was why would he be spamming for the hat?)
Thallen: Hey Livid. You're doing a really good job of helping me reach my goal and I really appreciate the help, but since you're doing something that I could easily solve by kicking or blocking you, I'm going to remove your guild chat option. But I still want you to help and defend and keep working for my guild, but you shouldn't be able to talk in the guild chat because I don't want you to. But I don't want to kick you either because I still want the free labor for my guild. So basically you're going to be my slave.
Also I see this option being a liability when it comes to towering, a big part of towering is communication. How is one supposed to warn people that a guild is beginning to attack if they can't use guild chat? How is one supposed to spam "FLAG" when they're the only one who isn't AFK in the flag room?
