<calls> can we have it.

It's a game, not an obligation. Real life takes priority over FFXIV anytime.
If people go AFK while having calls turned off, there is a reason for it.
Most people would probably leave it on and actually ask the party to buzz them when everything is ready.

That's what I would do.
And if, for any reason, the mute option is not there, I'll simply turn ALL game sounds off and put my own music.
I already do that sometimes. So, calls still wouldn't work on people who truly are AFK for a good reason and don't want to be disturbed or annoy everyone in the house.

Whilst it's true that XIV isn't an obligation, if they're in content and required they should at least explain before going AFK. It's common courtesy.

If it's a real emergency then there's no issue with a call going off once or twice.
