As well I am supprised at CCPs naivety, thinking that Users would turn to an integrated voice client which they have to pay for, when nearly everyone has a TS or Vent server available for use, free I might add.
You have someone who provides free TS servers? As in noone has to pay their bandwidth? Sign me up please, I'll bring 400 alliance mates.
If it's really free for what you do, I'll envy you and leave you the option not to use the integrated stuff. Thank you.

One must ask why anyone would prefer to use a integrated client that costs more to use and has vastly inferior quality than TS or Vent, not to mention the fact that TS and Vent contain features EVE Voice simply does not have.
Well, for the features it has that TS and Vent don't, maybe. Just maybe. And I'm not yet decided myself. I hate telephones, and my commanders usually have to haul me onto TS by the scruff of my neck.

I am sure that had the time that was wasted upon EVE voice could have been better used to correct bugs and lag issues within EVE, rather than implimenting something inferior to the tools the EVE community allready has.
I think you forgot to research this a little. I believe there was a dev blog stating that most of the work was done by Vivox. But if you're too lazy to look it up so am I.

I wouldnt even be supprised if EVE voice causes increased lag issues.
Yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if global warming was caused by all the UFO research in Area 51. They don't use the same servers if that's what you were thinking of.

Fix lag and bugs and develop new content before you start doing things that dont need to be done at all CCP.
Seconded on fixing the bugs, but let's see, this patch's looking pretty so far - except they shouldn't have fixed the ONE bug EvE Voice integration caused so far: Delayed mode local! \o/ That was a good one, I want it back :)
On not adding new content: I believe that's a different department doing that. For instance, I hardly expect the designers working on the new ship models and textures to help out with cluster overload. Of course, if that's how you run business in your part of the country ....
