I havent played War Craft, or its online game WOW. I understand enough about the chat in GW to understand most of what you said, but some of it just flew right by. I think I get the gist of it though. Thanks for explaining. :D I like the way WOW does it too, seems simple.

So there is an (easier) way to switch channels instead of clicking on the chat icon, and then clicking on the channel? I thought there might be, but I didnt know about it until you brought it up. I thought it was kind of difficult to fight monsters, while chatting with my team, then responding to a guild channel question all at the same time. I always had to wait until I finished fighting the monsters until I could change channels to respond.
