There are a lot of reasons we can't do this or don't want to, but to sum of the main points:

1) Discord is nice and all, but the features aren't at the same level as TS3 yet.
2) Sound quality seems to be worse, not sure if this is true though.
3) We would have to scrap all donation rewards, which some people have donated over $50 bucks.

Also, as I said in point 1, Discord is arguably worse than TS3, with the main selling point of t being free to host.

I've never had any issues with it.
The "features" it lacks are random things that don't inhibit it from doing what it's supposed to do.
The quality has been fine. Have you tried setting the channel bitrate?

yeah and its still not as good as teamspeak and lags like skype and then will accelerate pitch to keep up, which is truly awful

The specific features I'm talking about are the low-level permissions and settings that you use customize your server. I know discord has some, but nowhere near on the level of teamspeak. Also, we didn't really mess around with discord that much, but our initial reaction was to the noticeable sound difference. It could be a setting that we just didn't see.

Teamspeak just goes into robot speech when it needs to keep up. Also 'pitch' isn't the word you're looking for.

I like having a much more seamless experience for voice chat than I care about pretty server features.

no, it does this when your connection is not stable, or the connection of the person speaking isnt stable

teamspeak has no catch-up feature, the voice will stay lagged untill the activation stops or the person lets go of the key

1.
the quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.

yeah, no, for sure, i guess im wrong

the definition is literally what the program does to the audio, it raises the tone

Have you used Discord recently?
It increases the tempo to catch up, it does not change the pitch of the audio.
I don't know if it used to change the pitch, but that is not true anymore.

Teamspeak is perfectly seamless so long as you set it up correctly, and have gotten familiarized with the program.
