They aren't going to change it Because getting to 5 isn't that hard.
And again there are more than just in game messages to help you get there. If you are over at the dudes house you can help hm get to 5 that much faster by saying hey go smack mobs.
As far as IP exempt think ahead if you want to go to a friends house or run the risk and VPN.
If you don't want to voice chat , sit behind him, talk to him on the phone, text, send him tells without him responding more than ok, ask questions below 70 chars and every 10 seconds.
I really don't see the issue. If I got a friend started he would be 5 in an hour and could talk like a hen in a hen house.
The amount of effort you put in this thread you could of gotten him to 5.
The amount of time I spent typing all this up while smacking mobs I've gotten 70%
