For the first time since PS3 beta...

That wasn't a straw-man. You asked why they would feel the need to post a thread like this. Your horrible logic, not mine.

I never said you were attacking their money. That was an example of the replies people have given in this thread. I'll chalk that up to you missing that one. Anyway, so you find it odd that after purchasing what they have, that their budget can't support anymore spending? I don't see how that is an issue at all. There are several people in the world that live on a budget. After buying that PS4 and new phones (which was intended to solve their TS issue), they exhausted theirs. Expecting them to dish out even more money or fault them is ridiculous.

"What's really silly is the fact that he had to soapbox his reasoning, and then further post in replies that he could have solved his problem in any number of ways."

Um what? No they didn't post in replies that he could have solved his problem in any number of ways. He further posted about the things he did to try and solve his problem already, which included buying the phones, of which were dead-ends.

Ok finally, your first legitimate point. Yes, the OP could have found people that didn't care about TS and yes the OP could have focused their thread more on TS usage in XIV. Arguing these points is what people should have done rather then make personal attacks.

Can't you get a team speak app on iPhone?

OP stated their Iphone was busted. Really the best and only solution available to them is to find a group of players that don't mandate TS or similar voice programs.

Only voice chat I have access to is the built in PS4 party chat. As I'm old school and refuse to pay for ridiculous smart phones that nobody actually needs..lol

I don't understand. Do you not own a laptop? My girlfriend plays the ps4 version and uses vent on her laptop to talk while playing on the ps4.

I use my desktop and a wireless headset and play on PS4

I'm sad that this thread devolved into this mess. Maybe the OP was hoping that someone might find some sort of a suggestion to keep him playing even with the issues he has.

There are far too many ffxiv apologists here to understand why people are leaving. It's good for them to not care if people want to leave but why bother posting about it? Seriously

He dropped near a grand on ps4 and an iphone. Then bought a phone that doesnt even support TS(why one would not take a few min to look up if it supports TS or not is beyond me). If one can go spend 500+ on iphone b/c of teamspeak, then go buy a phone w/o even looking to see if it supports what they want, BUT somehow doesn't come to a conclusion to get a cheap laptop/cheap mic headset that costs less than iphone(which wouldve let OP continue to just use the android phone they already had), then I dont think it matters what people suggest. Definitely dont wanna hear about paying bills solo after all that money was spent unwisely with what seems like little thought(based on what info OP has provided). Dots somewhere arent connecting in OP thought process.

O.o are you being serious?

This community is horrible to each other. I'm questioning why I myself even bother with these types of jerks in this game.

You could just, I don't know, scroll past this thread instead of bumping with your hate content.
