I vaguely remember Yoshi-P mentioning voice chat as well, but I can't be certain. In any case, an integrated voice chat system is not going to happen. And I'm content with that knowledge.

For the record, people who don't use voice chat are in fact the majority in most MMOs. And with FFXIV being cross-region and cross-platform.. they will always be the majority.. Even if the game DID have an integrated voice chat system. You can say things like that all you want, but that doesn't make it true. This isn't Halo.

N e v e r. It doesn't really matter what it is that you're doing instead of playing. What matters is that you're not playing the game and the game encourages you to do so.
Did you even read my post? Did you even play FFXIV? Even with auto-attack, you would never be standing there doing nothing.

Seriously... if you still think that auto-attack would be "automating gameplay" then you'll never be persuaded otherwise. But at least describe your thought process without making personal attacks.
