Voice chat is incredibly useful if not necessary in certain game types, and it also makes the game far less social. The people who are abusive in voice chat know exactly how to be abusive to avoid getting caught / identified. In one game I play, there are several phases of the game when it is both impossible to mute anyone and you cannot see who is talking. Guess when people spew racist stuff or otherwise scream into their mics? It's a minority, and they never have anything useful to say - but it causes a lot of people to shut off voice chat entirely because it's so exhausting/jarring to an otherwise good time. And as a result, you don't get to meet the people who are friendly and good natured. Essentially, by letting them run wild, we're allowing them to dominate the platform. Kick their asses. |

So the option is learn how to deal with trolls or remove voice chat completely from games to protect the delicate sensibilities of players? I guess that's up to the company. I had no problem with this prior to company's controlling the servers for extra MRR. Don't like a server? Leave. Unless the entire game is filled with nazi LARPers you'll probably find a place more amicable to your delicate sensibilities. For me, I've had no problem blocking particular trolls and in particularly infested servers I can find a new one that's better for me. It's like the world has forgotten "don't feed the trolls". I'm willing to wager 99.9% of these people are just doing it to get a rise out of someone because honestly. People are so sensitive these days it's made it incredibly easy to say something and get a rise out of literally anyone.
