Unfair and Rude End Game for Deaf Players
sorry.. but what?
I think the op is referring to groups doing endgame activities wanting the group members to be on discord etc……. Instead of relying on typing in the chat box.
Discord has speech to text support as well if I am not mistaken…
But yes, limitations exist, as in all things.
You might consider joining a guild for the hearing impaired (if that exists) or forming one of your own to do end game content with. Perhaps there are a lot of other players looking for something similar. I bet there are, as well as a lot of players that may not have hearing problems but are just uncomfortable using voice chat that may also be interested in a text only guild. I’m not trying to be inconsiderate but that is an option.

never experienced that at all
not to mention…. thats not really the fault of the game is it
I have witnessed this happen alot and it really isnt fair to the hearing impaired. I know there are a lot of nice guilds what will work with hearing impaired. My former guild Tyrian Misfits will not judge you if your hearing impaired and will work with you. My current guild while we do require TS if you are deaf we do not kick because of it and will try and make accommodations. I am pretty sure if you go into the guild forums and explain yourself there will be a lot of guilds that arnt elites and will be excited to have you in their guild fam.

TTS helps people who are mute (or don’t like using microphones); it’s not really useful for those who are deaf, unless all the hearing folks type everything, which (for most hearing) defeats the advantage of using VoIP during 5- or 10-person content
For the OP, I don’t really see that there’s merit to the complaint. It’s not realistic to expect all hearing folk to make things harder on themselves by typing when they could be talking. It’s really hard to type-warn people that a fourth is needed for a green circle if you’re busy dodging.
You’ll just have to find folks such as myself who are as comfortable typing during intense combat as we are with VoIP.
