I'm not judgmental, I'm a realist! I played in the same World of Warcraft guild for almost 6 years and I was the leader the whole time. Over the course of 6 years I probably talked to over a thousand people on Ventrilo and I can honestly say that I only liked around 5-10 on a personal level that went past the gaming. Sure I had tons of fun with the other thousand people and we had a blast in game but outside gaming I shared almost no interests with those people.
We even had real life meetings several times in various countries. I always wanted to go to a warm place like Spain, France, Greece etc to hang out at the beach, go party, do sports and other social things. Do you think the majority wanted things like that? I can tell you maybe 1 more or person if any at all wanted things like that. Most people wanted to go to cold countries like Germany, Sweden, England and hang out in pubs and then go hang out at a internet cafe and that's what we always ended up doing to my displease. Therefor I don't prefer using voice communications because 95% of the time I just sit and listen to talk that I have absolutely no interest in and it just become annoying as fuck. I rather sit and listen to music and relax or just talk to a friend on skype while I play.
