Just a little tip for those that want the option of not receiving messages.
If you create a guild with only you (and your alts) in it, then switch the chat channel to that guild, it effectively mutes the chat, then you can switch back when you fell more sociable!
I’ve always suggested every player do this for themselves- it let’s you put all your money into a joint bank account between all your alts and effectively ATM your money from the books.
