Actually people without kids don't care how you raise your kids, they just don't want your bad parenting impacting their kid-free life (this isn't even relevant to the topic though, as screaming kids over voice chat isn't necessarily bad parenting, just disrespect to the party).

All of the fights are scripted. All you really NEED to do is decide on what strategy the team wants to execute and you should be golden. Had this been another MMO, where a boss picks a random move from a list, I'd concede that voice chat is hardly optional (and even then, that's a matter of environmental awareness). For those that feel it's required, I'd surmise that's more of the feeling of security or habit than necessity.

The last time I heard a kid screaming over discord, my FC at the time just asked the parents when he'd be raid ready.
:P

That is the thing in a lot of cases personal preference hardly ever out weights the preference of the group, and for the most part from voice communication for better or worse has become a standard for many groups and players one coule even say it has simply become an expected norm when it comes to completing higher level content even causally.

They seem to think it is the restaurant's responsibility to watch little Timmy as he darts between server's feet who are carrying trays of heavy and hot food as well as drinks. Trash. A huge waste of a server's time and they always leave behind a colossal mess. These people should be forced to tip 75% of the bill for the way they behave, better yet, they shouldn't be allowed in at all. You'll never catch me in a Chili's. lol Overpriced microwaved food and squalling children. No thanks!

There are some parents who think that every restaurant needs to be a "family" restaurant. I remember reading an article once about parents who brought their infant to a high class exclusive restaurant *with a dress code* and tried to sue the restaurant when they were turned away.

While I do not disagree, there has been an unwritten precedent set for those that don't want to, or even cannot, use voice communication. To the point that disabled players run the risk of being excluded simply because other players don't want to take a few seconds to type out the general strategy. People can expect something as a norm, but when it's not required, but players feel it's required, people get ... weird, to put it politely.

Suddenly I feel like thanking my mom for bringing me into this world. I can't tell my dad, he's in a better place now. While I didn't cry, according to her, I do have memories up to 7, and she barely had time for anything except me.
