You saying "well, everything ELSE cost money too!" is irrelevant. Point is, some things had to be sacrificed, and this was one of the things they felt could be sacrificed. Deal.

If you're expecting all of 2.x to get revoiced, you're deluding yourself.
I definitely agree that with this dev team, it's never going to happen. But I'm really tired of hearing about budget issues for their server architecture, voice acting, content development, etc. I am fully aware that they have a budget they have to work within, but that's not an excuse. EQ2 for instance added voice acting to EVERY npc in the game as an optional download and let me assure you they had WAY less revenue than FFXIV does. Hell, they also made it so you can have some ridiculous amount of houses. Like 30 of them per character.

LotRO added voice chat into their client. Housing districts like what we have here would automatically add on when one got full so that we could continue to buy houses.

This idea that a game created fterward with WAY more revenue can't do simple things right that games a decade their junior is insane. If their budget doesn't allow it, that's just people being tight with the purse strings.
