I saved on my forums a discussion about the voice chat on WoW forums.

Surprisingly, my new guild has some female voices behind the female characters. Now, if only I could understand a word of what they *STATIC*say*STATIC*…

An excerpt.

This game has been hijacked by lazy people.

Give a look to this.

“Being lazy” seems the whole point of playing games. Even for the academics.

These games are essentially functional and the players themselves set standards that you just ought to respect if you want to be part of the group.

The devs are partly responsible because the higly specialized content brought directly to create highly specialized guilds that completely isolate themselves from the rest of the community. Even if you can use the voice chat you could have an hard time finding a rading guild if you aren’t a priest or a druid.

The content is being shaped around 20-40 men instances and the guilds, as a consequence, are being shaped around that content.

Leading a guild is already a onerous task. Dealing with people (exceptions) who cannot comply with the standards is usually an added burden that noone really wants to deal with.
