I agree that in general I don't want an audio link with random
anonymous people, but I do still want to make text based
communication easier/more efficient/less distracting from the
game. I think speech recognition at some point will be able to give
us the best of both worlds. But that technology is going to have to
get better, and also less resource intensive. Maybe in a couple
years.
