    I only use discord for savage prog/reclear or when learning something new, and I don't do it within our fc discord. Most of my FC members are pretty casual and really don't want to touch hard content; unfortunatly, I don't have much to share with them, except for the language ( which is not english).
    I don't like discord much to be honest. It creates clicks and split FCs into smalls groups who rarely communicate with others. I'm using FC chat as much as I can. But I'm an old school gamer, so it's something natural for me to just type instead of talking.

    I enjoy using discord and chat with people while going through some stuff ingame but it took me a while to find a FC I click with. Several previous FCs were just not my cup of tea. Full twitch slang mode, whipping their virtual little friend out at every chance, a lot of humblebragging or outright boasting.
    I was rarely in voice because that's just unpleasent company for me.
    I prefer a more calm and mature surrounding but it was surprisingly hard to find here and I still often stick to my static mates for voice although FC voice is overall pleasent.
    Chat can be nice aswell, though.

    If a FC advertised voice and then doesn't use it, it's understandably a letdown. You might need a few tries to find something to your preference. There are many voice-based and chat-bases FCs, although some do sort of false advertising. Hop around until you find something to your liking.

    I've never been in a clan/guild that had that. That sounds horrific. Last time I was in one that required voice chat, was my old The Division 1/The Division 2 clan, and it was full of people my age and older (mostly brits and americans) and none of them talked like that. I somehow missed the whole rise of Twitch culture. Bragging comes with the territory though, at least for me, as a PvP oriented player it's part of the fun, trash talking with others.

    I still will use voice chat on occasion, I just do it with select few people I've known for years. None of them play this game.

    Only sus if they are portraying themselves as something via text. It's mostly just jarring, if everyone but them is talking in voice.

    It was meant more as a joke, sorry did not add /sarcasm Personally do not care what or how people use discord or what method of communication they prefer.

    Though to be on topic myself and my group of friends just rag on one another or others so does not lend itself to others joining since it is riddled with inside jokes. Granted we have one friend that legit half his vocabulary consists of mostly various of pog and pepe. He is fine in voice but text is another story.

Without people to talk with and get to know, I feel like I am just playing solo and the FC is only there for the buffs, but no community.
    Assuming you mean talk as in actually talking through voice chat. The reason should be fairly obvious for some of us, introverts especially.. we don't want to because we neither feel comfortable with nor like voice chat.

    I'm another one of those old-school gamers who prefer to type rather than talk. Besides, using Discord just seems overly fussy to me.

    I think the disappointment comes more down to the FC initially advertising voice and then not using it unless absolutely neccessary.
    Sure, there are introverts. Lots of them. or simply people who don't like voice in general. But you don't go around advertising voice if that's the case, do you? FCs that know they're more on the chat side should mention that the same as FCs being very voice active mentioning it so people don't get the wrong idea.

    For me, I'm an antisocial introvert. Being in chat with a bunch of people whether I know them or not can cause a bit of anxiety. Even small groups can do it. Anxiety and/or me talking a lot can cause my breathing problem to kick in and physically start to shut me down. It takes excessive amounts of effort for me to jump into chat with a bunch of people that I don't know. Let alone say anything. As it stands right now, I'm usually only in Discord chat with the few people that I know and am comfortable with.
