Yeah, ive found this to be quite annoying, Ill type a msg then find out its in the wrong on the chat and its getting annoying having to do /ch g every time i go somewhere.

I vouch for the removal of the automatic channel changing.

This is done to keep players in the appropriate world channels, or else there will be serious chat congestion in the global channel when everyone is speaking to each other, some players forget to turn it off and we have a situation where people are all talking to each other in global even if they are right next to one another in game.

Like AQW said you can always use the quick messages /g (message) /l (message) etc.

I understand why it's like that, but I'd like a commnad to set one channel as the default one.

The most annoying thing is when I'm going back and forth from mining trips and my channel keeps switching and the people I'm talking to (or will be talking to) are not physically close to me.

I'm already using general as the default channel cause I find the automatic swtch annoying so the result is the same.

The only thing that would change is that I don't have to manually switch each time I log and each time I teleport... it's not like it's impossible to do in other ways.

I've decided to keep my stance as being against it, as I must agree with Reigando said, as many people do double post, causing more congestion that it's supposed to stop.

It honestly does seem to cause it more, than stop, and it's actually more, I wouldn't say annoying, but more... chunky, if you will, in terms of the wall of text I see when multiple people double post, due to being in the auto-changed channel, then switching to the main channel.
