Some thoughts on player-player chat.
The current options in alpha to talk to a player you meet on the road are:
1. Broadcast in one of the channels meaning you, firstly spam global chat with your convo, and secondly reveal all your secret stuff to all listening.
2. Use the whisper options which makes a convo very hard as it is intermingled with other chat from other players.
3. Temporarily form a party with the player and use party chat. Not a good option, especially if you are already in a party and discussing whether they are a PvP threat/opportunity as you speak to them and gather more info.
None of these options are good.
What is really needed is a private chat option preferably by right clicking on the persons avatar in game.
