1) I thought there'd be more voice acting, too. I still read every word of the main story and my class story, but pretty much skip over the rest. I'm not bothered by the quests having an abundance of dialog, I think it's great, I just have never been one to read why a person needs 4 pieces of dodo meat.

2) Other MMO's (DCUO) have tried this and virtually nobody used it. I think the future of MMO's will have built in voice, there are still many technical issues. I use a computer with skype or google.

3) Are you sure he's getting stuck and not getting attacked? I keep mine set to attack anything that I attack or that targets me and sometimes he'll run off to defend me even when I didn't realize I was targeted, I'd get too far away, and he'd vanish. I've never had him get stuck on a rock or wall or anything.

Thanks for sharing actual disappointments and not just spamming server issue problems! =D
