dib8rman: In the circumstances where you don't want to hear something, you can always choose not to use voice chat. Most games have a mute function. To have the full experience for many online games, though, voice chat is required. Of course playing with friends is better, but you can't voice chat with them, either.

Sky Render: As you can see from the 2 people above, I am not the only "anecdote" of evidence here. I think it is fairly widely accepted that voice chat is a great feature, and like many of us have said, it's a must for many online games. There is absolutely no excuse for lacking AT LEAST voice chat among people you have shared your friend code digits with. People have to use Xfire, 360, PS3, cell phones, etc. to hear each other when playing Wii games, and that's sad. As for your claim that I didn't understand what you said: you either accused me of only wanting voice chat so I could act like a 12-year-old bully, or claimed that was the only purpose for voice chat. Both of those would be wrong. I sincerely feel sorry for you that you don't understand the benefits of having voice chat. That wasn't me trying to fight with fire your condescending attitude. I apologize if it came across that way.
