I would argue the opposite. Any raid guild that does not require ventrilo is doomed to fail from the beginning. The amount of time you save communicating via speech compared to typing is invaluable. Voice chat also creates stronger bonds among guildmates. The proliferation of ventrilo is one of the only positive things that have happened to MMOs recently.

I've already turned down more than one applicant who told me they refused to use ventrilo. However, even I would make an exception for someone who was deaf, granted they knew what they were doing and were good at the game.

I assume you and your deaf friend went about the situation poorly.

I beg to differ. Voice chat is one of the downfalls of MMORPGs. Before I could log into EQ and immerse myself in a world of fantasy. Then guilds started using voice chat and suddenly I have to listen to a 12 year old pre-pubescent boy get his rocks off playing a female high elf enchanter.....or an internet tough guy talk in a really deep creepy-man voice.

It ruins the game for me.
