Then there's the issue of "if said group uses voice chat find one that doesn't"

I think it's similar to the "Groups require experience, but you need to raid to get experience" kind of thing. So many groups require voice chat that finding one that doesn't is a task, and if you know you can't voice chat for whatever reason, then you don't join groups that require TS, if you're good enough you could prove you work fine without it, but you have to be given the chance to show you're good enough, and a lot of statics like with players who are fairly new to fights, don't want to take that chance.

It's a pretty sad thing to think about. You could say make your own static. But these days that's one heck of a task, and with how many people require voice chat, I've noticed a lot of people won't join statics that don't use voice chat.

It's a problem, but it's a problem like many other things with our community, and not the game itself or the voice chat programs. Just the community is not as friendly and accepting as they could be. Especially in the raiding scene.
