Raiding and Teamspeak.

[Mercutial]

Can endgame content be cleared without the aid of VOIP? Sure... yeah... why not? A3/4S progression is highly debatable, but I'll concede it's possibility. Does VOIP help make everything that much easier? You BET your ass it does. That being said, would you purposely replace your BIS chest piece with a I190 chest before raiding? Why would you make your job more difficult? And more importantly, why would you make it more difficult on your team?

I don't doubt that any content in this game can be defeated without voice comms. However, I believe it is absurd to dismiss it's usefulness. And if you're not going to use it, you're essentially stating to the rest of your team that you are willingly take a handicap (sometimes extremely minor depending the instance) before the fight has even started.
