In-Game Feature: Global Chat (Also Local and Friends Chat)

@Skimpp The global chat sounds like a very bad idea, as:

- Players are already being rude in the team chat. This doesn't need to be on a global scale.
- The game would get a bunch of bots spamming the chat. This would be spammed links to cheats, insults, "other" content, etc. The game already had an exploit a few years ago where players were able to talk in a global chat, and based on the things I saw being said, I'm glad Respawn patched it out.
- We would see a huge increase of bot spamming in pro player's matches, as the spammers would use the fact that the pro player is livestreaming to reach more players.
- During matches, players could call out where others are, (espeically if they had died and it let them talk in the global chat)

Local chat would have to be while in the lobby only, as it would allow more players to easily team with other squads. It would also have the other issues that the global chat would have, (except on a smaller scale).

As for the friends chat, this could work, if it has some limitations. For example, if you're in the lobby, and they're in the firing range, then yes, allow it. If they're in a ranked match, and you're in a pubs match, also that's alright. But, if you're both fighting in the same game, it shouldn't be allowed.

If we look at Apex Mobile and its introduction of a global chat, that alone should of been enough to not bring it to the main game. It was meant for players to find others to play with and to talk as a community. However, when I played Apex mobile, I saw nothing but spam, insults, players openly asking others to boost them, cheat with them, etc. in the main game of Apex, "other" content, threats, etc. and that was within the first minute of opening the chat up for the first time. I never opened it up again after that.
