From various videos it seems as though Guild Wars 2 will be taking the original Guild Wars approach, and, in essence, make "/say" chat, effectively "global" chat, in that anything said in local chat will be heard by everyone in the zone. However, since Guild Wars 2 will be a persistent world, I feel that this system will only lead to massive chat clutter - even more so than that of the original Guild Wars - particularly in areas that are more popular.
The convenience of having the ability to chat between a small group of people without having to create a party or group and without having to broadcast the conversation to the whole area is often over-looked in MMOs, and it would be immensely helpful to have the tools to make that a reality. Various NPC's have been shown in videos to have floating chat bubbles and area-effective chat, so the mechanism is already in the game; I simply want to suggest giving that to players, as well.
