And if several members of the team are talking over voice chat, team chat often winds up being rather quiet. I do not, however, close chat tabs or go afk from a team without announcing it in chat.

I was leading a strikeforce the other day and was trying to get all the players in the zone to start the strikeforce. One player, whom I shall call ToonX, wouldn't zone in even after 5 mins of me repeatedly asking to do so. In fact, he was doing some lowbie mission in Mercy even though he was lvl 40. Irritated, I kicked ToonX and told him to send me tell when he got out. I was about to start without him, but he finished his mission and asked for an invite. I figure it was a fluke and invited him.
During the SF, I tell folks what to expect and where the next mission is so they can ouro out of the mish to save time. Even with my instructions, ToonX was getting into the missions 5 mins after everyone else got there, attacking the wrong things, etc.
Later on, I found out that ToonX was on vent and his chat window was closed.
Now, how am I supposed to be able to give instructions?
Do these vent users think that vent is the way to go and communicating with the team any other way is old skool?

I'm only willing to do this once for the badge on Grey Pilgrim, and I kind of doubt I have the time if it's over 2.5 hours (and if you're willing to do this Saturday night). I seem to recall it being longer than that, which is why I have never bothered. But feel free to let me know if it's otherwise.

I could be experimenting. But usually, it's because I'm playing a concept character.

"But," I can hear you saying, "concept characters are a waste of everyone's time!"

Yeah. Uh huh. Tell that to the regular group of concept players I team up with. I guess we're wasting each others time in harmony.

(What's nuts is that I play on Virtue, where I wouldn't expect to have to explain the notion of a concept character.)
