Use your words

[Lucke]

Every single time I enter a dungeon, I throw out a "Rally-ho!". If no one responds, I instantly think "Oh jeez, one of those parties". I love talking in the dungeons...admittedly I don't talk much during fights (Don't tank and text y'all), but when running I like talking to the party, makes it more enjoyable that way. If everyone is silent, it's kinda creepy. I even have a rule: If you don't respond to my "Rally-ho!" at the beginning, I don't care how awesome you are, you aren't getting a commendation. Even if you are a PS3/4, using the virtual keyboard for a simple "Hi!" or "Sup" is enough. As others have said, you hamper your experience if you don't have a keyboard for the PS versions. Even an el cheapo 10 (of your local currency) is enough to communicate.

EDIT: This may just be the way I was raised with old school MMOs, but I like to go over a strat (or make sure everyone is on the same page). If no one responds, I have no idea if they understand or anything. This is huge in Mythflox. I like to know if I'm pulling everything or just some things. I dunno what everyone is comfortable. Maybe the AOE heavy people have never handled a huge pull, or maybe the Single target champs can handle full pulls. I don't pull until I know that everyone understands. At the last boss, I may have a MNk and DRG in the party...who is gonna use the LB? Who can skip the big bomb phase. I just like to know that everyone knows what will happen. Each group is different. Just because the group you were in 10 minutes ago would handle situation A, doesn't mean the next one can. Maybe I'm just old.
