That's dumb, putting someone on a "banlist" for playing with friends? Get your own friends to play with and join premades and crap, sheesh. I'm sick of people freaking out about Premades. Though I do understand since this one said NO PREMADES. 

So if DG had an ingame voice option would that stop people from caring? I mean in other games people ALWAYS play with friends, the only advantage I see is that most of the time their using some sort of voice channel (vent, xfire voice, teamspeak UGH). Also if you're afraid it's a premade and you want a good team, just look up the players on your team or ask them "Hey are you a new player?". If so you can help them out or adjust your gameplay accordingly. I mean sheesh guys, everytime I make a premade people are disgusted and leave. I hate lieing about premades and 90% of the time I don't but it takes forever to start a game, what am I supposed to do NOT play with my friends? I'd be more than happy to play other premades, that's fun I love great games.

Oh, yah, then that's cool. *exhales and relaxes* Whew...

This is an ongoing problem that has made demigod unplayable for me and many others. It should not be simply cast aside as if it's unimportant. Premades vs pugs significantly reduce the fun level of the game for the pug.

As for people using arguements referring to 'if the game had VOIP would it be any different...' Please. This game does not, and is team based. The team that knows each other and has a clear unhindered form of communication to one another has a significant and game altering advantage over the team that does not have this.

tai, you are missing the point, it's not dumb to play with friends, it's dumb to lie about being a premade

*seems someone already said this

I wouldn't really be for a PuG VOIP system, simply because I don't want some nerd rager yelling through the VOIP.  But then, I type quickly, and tend to communicate often with teammates.
