As for myself. I've both argued for, and against voice chat in this thread. I myself, will or won't use voice chat. I'm simply discussing the points in this thread. I don't know what a "social justice warrior tumblr post" even is. I also have never once said that everyone "should remember the mechanics at all times"
I'm just giving counter points. Which you haven't tried to argue, instead you referenced something about tumblr?

You're right though, a lot of times voice chat is 100% not needed. In most clears, and clear videos, no one even needs to talk to each other. So what was the point of even being on in the first place? I understand the need to go over information in a dire moment, however most of the time that's not what happens in voice chat.

Everyone usually just shouts expletives about how they screwed up and a wipe happens, or someone dies, or you joke about the incoming wipe. I'm sure some groups are able to come to react quick enough and communicate well enough in enough time to save a wipe? But do you assume this is how every run goes with voice chat? It's quite the opposite. Using voice does not always help save the run, nor does it mean your group is able to react quick enough to save the run just because they're using voice.

Voice just gives you that option. Would raid awareness also give you that option? Yes it would. I said in a previous post that voice chat is a crutch, but a helpful one that can indeed make a difference.

I've said more than a couple of times in here that it's just a tool. You can use it or not. It's how you use it that determines if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
