I'm gonna have to agree with this. For a long time due to my room set up, I had to play ffxi with headphones. I need to play ffxi with sound or i get bored quick, and everytime someone uses a call it hurts my ears because i have sensitive hearing. Pretty much docs said i hear slighty higher and lower frequency then normal. So a call even with my sound both in game and my headphone settings to low it still sounds like the volume with call is full blast. Constently telling people to not use calls due to making my eardrum go nuts gets old.

Either that take the calls out completely as personally speaker, they have no use other then to try and get the attention of an afk'er. Most of the time people just zerg events w/o a plan and just do w/e. Or they use vent to relay the plan.

only time i seen call used is
1 stun chain
2 weapon skill chain starting
3 dynamis pulling.
4 get the attention of an afk'er

and most of those no longer apply.
