Everyone already knows voice chat existed back then.

However, I'd have to ask, what percentage of EQ's population do you think were using log parsers or voice chat back then?

It mostly doesn't matter because there's nothing that can be done about it. If it's not GINA it will be something else. Parsing is fine in itself, it's when you start adding audio triggers and visual aides and shit that sort of turns it into automation.
You weren't tabbing in and out of the game and with single core cpu the game took up your processing power. Some guys might've had a second computer to run a voice chat program but it wasn't the norm. My roommate eventually did get a second computer when he upgraded so he had two to run eq. No one in my guild used voice. Ring of Valor would take over /auc /shout and /ooc to do raids on Lady Vox.

I for one am progina if you want to be prochoice that's fine too. It doesn't affect me.
Sure, i see it as more of the steroid debate. Do you allow something that can possibly give an edge to some? if so should others opt to use it or not. You could argue it is performance-enchancing (that's the point) and some people are not able to hit home runs without aid.

I would vote remove it entirely. You know those you are playing with or against are using their own skill. When they win or do good its worth congratulating.

-my 2 cents.
