Why are people so adverse to talking in discord within FC?

[StriderShinryu]

For me at least it's a generational thing. Some of the people in my FC definitely do hang out in Discord all the time, and they're great people. But I started playing MMOs back before there even was Discord (or any legitimate voice chat really) so it's never really been a thing to me. I'll chat in /fc all the time but voice chat has never become part of my "flow" when I'm playing.

I'm more or less the same way, I get the younger group can't function without discord but it shouldn't be a requirement for any content. Also for us console peasants, it's a bit of an inconvenience to drain my phone battery or occupy both PC and PS4 to use a chat system. I'd rather have a discord party chat option on PS4, but that never will happen.

Thirdly, thanks to the generational gap I just can't stomach people who obsess over memes. Many a discord chat I've had to mute people or muscle through late teens, early 20 somethings spout memes out loud ad infinitum during raid only for half to "squirrel" and dip out. Hope my kids don't get like that, yikes.
