Running the content for the first time just about requires VC, especially in PUGs.
I've already done T1-T13 with my static without voice chat, with all 8 of us being first timers on every turn. It's never been an issue. People "requiring" voice chat doesn't mean voice chat is actually essential to succeeding. They either have the mistaken notion that it is, or they simply don't enjoy raiding without being able to talk to their teammates and want everyone to use it for that reason.
