Funny someone claimed that "Text communication is kind of cold and archaic."
Yet I don't see the younger generation calling each other as much as I see them texting each other.

I never liked Voice in MMoRPG. I beleive it has it's use in raids. It's way easier to give instructions to large amount of people and groups via voice than typing and hoping the person necessary gets it. but even then, the channel should only be used by leaders, and others should only be listening.
For daily play it just annoyed me because 99% of the chat had nothing to do with the game. And like others said, trying to associate the voice with the character was mind numbing at times.
In 10-12 years of playing MMoRPGs, I dont think I ever had that much of a problem playing and typing at the same time. Sure there were times I didn't get "MOVE...CYCLOPS" in the chat window quick enough, but even then the 3 seconds it took didn't make much of a difference in the outcome.

Hell, I don't even play with my speakers on most nights.
