I wouldn’t say it’s a “core” feature, but it is very frustrating, given the fact that Sony often makes privacy preferences setup confusing. Many people have it set to where you can’t even message them unless you’re on their friends list, so contact with people on the game has become that much more difficult. That being said, I’ve been playing on official servers for years now with only mild frustrations. One such was a dispute with someone who constantly griefed me for some time due to a misunderstanding. He even said he tried to message me, but I blocked him. That wasn’t true. It was because of HIS settings. See, not even the players understand that their settings are messed up. While Funcom may to blame for lack of voip, Sony is to blame for everything else.
