FFXIV Devs please reconsider voice chat

[Rhysati]

WoW put in voicechat. Nobody used it.
LotRO put in voicechat. Nobody used it.

There's no reason in this day and age to have voicechat in an MMO. Nobody is going to reinvent the wheel to come out with a better version of something that already exists outside of the game(vent, mumble, skype, etc).

There are companies like Skype that do this since years (and still have issues from time to time) and you want a game to put together an half assed system? And even if they required money for it to make it decent why should I pay something that is already available for free and better?

No. No. No. Keep it out of the game. Use it, absolutely, but don't integrate it. I chat with friends that aren't playing FFXIV while I do play. Third party options are better and more versatile.
