Chat usage - suggestion to improve

Hi!

Some suggestion to improve chat functionality, because it is quite hard to use.

Party chat why empty even after we talked in it? It is not a good idea to loosing them all, sometime we would like to read it a later time, when we are not fighting. Without using party that grayed out Tab is not looking well either.

Currently we are easy to loose Guild and Whisper messages as lot of talks happening in Public and Trade parallel. Just think about we are in a zone, killing mobs, looking for quests while guild mate send a message, but it is gone quick from chat as other messages coming also.
When situation is calm we are trying to read it, but clicking on Guild Tab will hide it out??? Same happening with Whispers??? We are supposed to hide out 'other' tabs to finally see what we are looking for? This is not the best way, try to work the other way, its the logical way. We do it every other places (browser tabs for example).
It is the same situation when we came back from afk and would like to check if got any important whisper or Guild message to react to them.

Would be nice to have feature to change the color of chat messages. Green for npc/player talks and very dull gray for Guild messages? That will even punish the communication inside a Guild.

Thank you!

color the typed text based on the channel the message is being sent to as well. 99% of the time i send a message to the wrong channel.

yeah that are some good suggestions
