Warcraft Forum Post #Gajillion3 about groups/guilds that require voice chat (Ventrilo or TeamSpeak) to run instances or for raiding: Vent/TS are now must haves to raid? I can sympathize, truly I can, and I don’t necessarily agree with requiring voice for little instance runs unless it’s a 45-minute Strath Baron run where people have to be on their game — but for DKP raids, everyone must be in Vent. And I’ll tell you why: who has the energy, or the WILL, to type out instructions for an encounter that’s been run 39 times before? This isn’t EQ (in this manner) where warriors hit Autoattack, lean back in their chairs and do whatever … ahem … they would do while slapping some sense into Lord Nagafen. This is Warcraft where warriors hit attack, and then use every other trick in their bags to hold aggro — only one of which is taunt, thankyouverymuch — and there’s little spare time to type out: CLOTH BACK OUTT HE CLEAVES!!!! or my personal favorite: FUKIN ROUGES VANISH!! Can it be done without Ventrilo/TeamSpeak? Of course. But most of us prefer taking the shortest route between the boss engage and the loot.
