I have to disagree with #2. Granted, I understand where it's coming from, but everyone who says this is taking shit way too seriously. You do not need 6 Microphones, and not having a mic does not make strategizing in orbit impossible. All that is needed, in general, are at least 2 people with Mics, and a group of listeners. That's stretching it, but it can be done. I completed my recent Raid run with half a team of no mics, and one person with a mic who barely used it. It took us a bit to find the flow, but we did it. I'm not saying we took 8 hours to complete, but it certainly wasn't a quick run. There were hiccups, there always are, but we did it. If a group with half its members being mic-less can do it, it's not that bloody crucial. Just my two cents, let the flames begin.
