>Besides, if they don't speak via mic (there's no real excuse for people not to have one, especially on Gold), why would bother with a text chat window?
I accept that you were explaining the rationale of BioWare, but that last bit sounds like you're actually defending their decision to exclude it. Text chat is a mainstay of PC multiplayer games for both social and tactical use. Not every PC player can afford or wants to bother with a mic.
Text pads (PS3 and XBox) are cheaper than a decent headset mic. If console gamers were expected to own them to communicate in a popular game, I imagine they would be pretty upset and demand voice chat.
