This in a nutshell. If I wanted to hear immature people scream at me over a video game I'd play CoD. My favorite roulette parties have become the ones that don't say anything if only because then people won't start screaming about how much everyone else sucks.

and not to rehash the dev post on the matter. 1 BIG obstacle is that the servers, while regional, and de facto language servers, are not language specific and you can't auto translate voice. I can muddle through reading spanish german and a little japanese but hearing it is a different part of the brain and I can't do that on the fly, especially with the speed they talk. My FC has several people for which English is not their first language, they aren't always understood over mumble but text works fine.
