No thanks, I totally don't need random retards shoving their crap into my ears.
Fuck no, keep that garbage out of wow.
Go play shooters on console if you have a desire for kiddies shit-talking before their balls drop.
Dude people keep fighting in chat what do you think would happen if what you want happened
"Yes, you'll have to be exposed to horrible, deplorable, disgusting shit... but you can always opt out -after- you've been verbally assaulted!"
No thanks. I'd rather not get verbal abuse spewed at me to -begin- with.
Your whole idea is that, somehow, THIS online Voice Chat will be different from all the ones that came before it. And barring that, everyone who is exposed to the nastiness and has their enjoyment of the game lessened by the miserable shits can then take 2-4 extra steps to protect themselves just so you and others don't have to take 1 extra step to join the voice chat.
Fucking hell, friendo. That's some grade A entitlement, right there. "All of you should suffer so that I can more easily use this product"
Go make an Add-on that automatically joins Voice Chat, spread it to everyone who wants that function, and move on with your life knowing that you've improved the lives of those who are interested in that system without exposing everyone else to the rancid underbelly of the internet.
When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.
thats what guilds are for ... why the fuck would i need voicechat for fucking randoms should we always mute/leave when we join WQ/rnd dungeons of any kind or pug raids which require no voicechat at all? its way more easy to join if anyone wants then to leave .. and don't compare competetive games like overwatch/hots with an MMO ...
... no I mean, imagine?! What if someone joins voice chat totally unknowingly and then who knows what they could do or what we could hear. NO please god no! lol
There should be an option to opt in if you want to in the settings but I don't want to hear fucktards screaming racist shit or blaring their music.
From what I see so far, it is very barren in voice chat because it is easier to not opt in. I opt in, not to chat but to listen, and even in a 40 man bg (yes, broken AV) I think there was 10 opted in and everyone had the same style, so there was no one talking, so there was the feeling of opting out because why join voice chat if not talking? Likewise, people who want to talk (encouraging ppl to join voice chat) have no one to talk to, cause everyone is accustomed to not joining.
I think auto enabled voice chat is fine, just so the talkers have potential listeners, and those that REALLY get bothered or intensely want the quiet WoW zen time can opt out. Toxic people, as always, can be muted/ignored.
Although, the lack of toxicity so far is probably attributed to having it automatically off, and it is a new feature, so it is hard to say..

I didn't want it in HotS, I don't use voice chat there, and I sure as hell don't want it to be autojoin in WoW. So long as you can click to join when you want that suffices.
I usually pretend other players don't exist or are npc. Talking with them would be weird.
(And before you "But MMO!!1!" me, be aware that I fully embrace my focus on the "RPG" part and I don't care how you think I should enjoy the game)
