Why do people insist on party chat instead of game chat?

I prefer game chat

I'm probably missing something, so help me out. When someone joins my game, they will sometimes send a message or something to join party chat. What's the point? I can hear you just fine in game chat, and I don't want to hear other people that may be in the party but not the game anyway. And with game chat, I can see peoples' names at the bottom of the screen so I know who is talking, which is VERY helpful in Raid communication. So, why do some people still insist on party chat?

  • For me, because I use a headset for game audio and chat. In game chat gives far too much sound weight to the game, meaning if I am using in game chat, I cannot hear anything you are saying whenever somebody is shooting/something is exploding. Party chat lets me control the balance of game audio to chat audio.
