I find it impossible to immerse myself in the game,it just becomes a chat room with Vent.

Poll fails, lacks good options and the two comedy options seem uninspired.

I came to this server looking for an experience vaguely similar to 1999-2001 casual EQ, voice chat simply isn't part of that.

OTOH, when I play EVE Online I expect voice chat to be (effectively) mandatory, it kinda goes with the PvP environment.

:shrug:

Also, I'm pretty sure there've been plenty of neckbeards (including mine :P) in every online game I've ever played.
