voice chat? a casual's choice. every hardcore player knows that they should communicate via macros to be pro.
Sounds like someone got their feelings hurt because they were kicked from a group or denied entrance for not having it.
Nobody cares.
If there are any groups that have done anything noteworthy (e.g. World firsts, world records...etc.) without voice chat, I haven't heard of them.
noteworthy and winning are different,regardless, i havnt been kicked or anything, just a bit tired of seeing all these people thinking VC is a must lol..kinda the same with how videos roll but thats better saved for another rant day.
also ^^ maybe no one cares but i didnt post this because i assumed people would care. /boredom
Voice chat is just a really nice feature both to communicate effectively and to socialize. I find that anytime I'm using voice chat in any capacity I communicate a lot more with people whether it's relevant to the fight or not. I never really had this problem on FFXI because the pace was so slow. I could just type whatever I needed to during the 15 second cast time or during the breaks when I couldn't cast because I had too much enmity or was on stun rotation but not up next, etc. Such situations never occur in FFXIV. If you're not at minimum pressing a button every 2.5 seconds you're doing something very wrong, so there's very little room to type much of anything.
That said, sure you can get around it, and by the time your group knows content well you probably don't even need it, but it helps a lot in the learning process.
Maybe I'm weird but I find that doing Contents without Voice Chat is more fun because of the Challenge and everyone have to be good and carry their own weight. I find Voice Chat ruined the game and fun especially when someone call out everything and you just follow their order.
I have just been using Macro and all extreme primal and 2nd coil and it seam to go fine.
