Why bring this up in a DDO/Turbine forum?

Because maybe, if their system is better, maybe they'll finally get around to addressing player issues we've had with the current Game Spy system for years.

Ads over voice chat? EWWWWW.. something like that would be a huge turn off for me in a F2P/premium setting. I'd be disabling voice chat so fast. Probably even before those annoying beginner hints I always have to shut off.

Even adding nice features isnt going to help a horrible game like that, I might be prejudiced agaisnt the game since its nothing at all like champions other than background.
