I agree, I don't care for voip, and I don't see the need to fill out an applciation. Is it that difficult to just send an ls invite? I mean, the number of truely BAD people in xiv are extremely low. My shell uses voip, but I generally don't. I have speakers, listen to music, and watch tv when playing ffxiv. I can type ls chat, even during events and such. Only time to really use it is when everyone gets drunk. Then it's kinda fun, like a party but without any real people...
