When I get tired of the pointless chit-chat I turn off Uni, which then detracts my knowledge base from the players who have questions. Therefore, general talking does impact players in a negative way. As far as Universe being misleading to new players, I think as a whole, that it is not the new players misusing the channel.
Personally, I am not sure the big deal and why someone would quit over being asked to get back to Ryzom topics. I know I was about to put that person on ignore myself as I was getting tired of the second-by-second update of their game in Uni. Not sure if they were muted or not, but I can't say that I missed their chat in Uni, because I didn't.
When the CSRs aren't around most of us are more than willing to get back to topic when asked and make a team to continue our conversation with those we were "chit-chatting" with in Uni anyway. For the most part we all play nice with each other. But we all know there are those that don't and I am glad that the rules are enforced with a gentle yet firm approach when needed.
And finally... if you want a dedicated chat channel, you need to put it on the feedback site. Actually surprised this thread is still running.. haha
