Yeah, there may be legitimate reasons why people can't communicate. When I started on PS3 back in ARR, I bought a keyboard months in advance of the game going live. To some though a keyboard was an afterthought and many simply didn't bother. It might not cross some peoples' minds is all if they play on a console. It should, but sometimes it doesn't.

If you are unable to communicate, you shouldn't invest in a MMORPG and you pretty much deserve whatever you get as a result of trying. Doesn't matter if you're on a console.


I had to buy all sorts of peripheral shit just to get FFXI to work on a PS2, ages ago. Needed to attach this big ass HDD box to the PS2 just to be able to play it. It wasn't cheap, either. I think everyone else can handle a simple USB keyboard.
