Incompetant teammates aggravates me more than immature players. Is there really a reason to be upset by general chat spam? There really is no need to be in town to communicate...you can always whisper and if you want to trade you can go to bidding forums.
I spend a lot of time in places like Lion's Arch (District 1) and the non-stop flow of pink text doesn't bother me much. Only a few times have people spammed the general chat, and they only do it about once every five seconds.
The fact that one warrior in every single one of my parties runs off and ruins things like killing whole party, or not tanking correctly for the monk, is worse IMO. I don't want to join a guild just to have a party who knows what they're doing. So far I've had one party where all six people were excellent. I hope when I get to 8 people parties that the players are intelligent enough to do better.
