There are other much more effective ways in making sure everyone is ready for content. If someone is not there for a long time, there is a pretty good reason for it and "calling" him would be pointless. Also, you'd want to get a replacement for that person anyway.

So, no thanks.
A /readycheck or /away <message> would be more effective and less disturbing.
If call get implemented, it definitely need a turn off option in the sound menu (I want to enjoy the music, not a whistle chorale).
Well said. Calls were amusing in FFXI... for about the first two weeks. Then everyone started putting them in all their macros. Pull macros, provoke macros, weaponskill macros. Oh, our healer died in the Dunes and we're waiting on a Raise cause their home point is set on the other side of the world... so bored... <call1> <call5> <call8> !!!1!

Watch The Adventures Of Finsternis And Prufrock Episode 1 if you are not familiar with calls or if you need a reminder of how annoying they are.

I'd much prefer something like WoW's ready check, which is generally not abused like calls.
