Hmm... I don't know. Most non-MMORPGs seem to have it so once you're ingame you have to listen to all the chat... perhaps in the servers (where you get to a game) there are either player-creatable areas (like bnet chat channels) or a bunch of channels so you can go to an empty one, but ingame? Usually the best you can hope for is a 'block player X's chat' option, which is sometimes there and sometimes not. Usually not.
As for MMORPGs... I have less experience there. Usually there is an option to block most chat (except for whispers?), though... if you don't want to listen to it. Because you've got to be online all the time, and there isn't seperate gamerooms and games, they've got to do something...
