I barely use the chat, cause it’s so annoying to always click on it to see more than 1/2 messages.
It’s even worse when you didn’t have the time to read the few messages it shows when you were fighting a hard pack/boss.
This image shows some basic additional functions that would make the chat experience better in my opinion :
So basically always let us have the chat open, and allow us to change the opacity of it too.
No need for constantly opening it, which will make it far more usable !
