It just completely baffles me: Why is everyone so inept that they cannot, for the life of them, figure out how to press the mute button? If someone is irritating, I mute them. Problem solved. These are not arguments, this is just stupidity.
The problem is that, then I'm spending all of my time muting people instead of, y'know, building.
I'd have to mute at least 90% of the people I meet.
Similar to saying you can just ban people who spam the mininuke-- it doesn't remove the issue that you're banning for, which is far more effective.
Also; microphone compatibility doesn't grow on trees.
