NKato Wrote:So sorry to butt in further, but I'd like to say something since Skype is also used as a voice chat program:
One thing I've noticed regarding this community is the over-reliance on voice communications for casual conversations, sometimes to the point of using it as a mechanism to go around other people's backs for gossip. This is something I would like to see people discouraged from doing, or at least implementing a strict policy addressing the potential risk of abuses.
I'm speaking from personal experience and feel this should at least be a topic for discussion among guilds. >.>
Skype or no, sideline talk will always happen given the means. In fact, if all the voice servers and third party chat programs were dropped, you'd still have the same issues simply because people will resort to /tells and party chat, which in fact, already happens.
It isn't an over-reliance using other means of communications that should have been present in the game from day one, but because they weren't, we as a player base have to resort to such means of communications because many of us find it far more efficient to either type without constrictions as dictated by the game or simply just talk things out. In gist, other means of communication aren't used solely for gossip as much as you'd think. There shouldn't need to be a strict policy in how we as a player base chat to one another or conduct business.

Take some bacon and I put it in a pancake.
