Age does play a role in liking/disliking voice chat, in that I'm 35 and hate listening to 22 year olds act like idiots. Guess I'm officially old now. In my day we had to type out raid strats during fights. Shaddap ya damn kids! I don't care how awesome you think you are!
In all fairness there are plenty of older gamers acting like idiots as well. Let's try not to risk turning this topic into a flamewar.
Whether or not you are now old in the gaming world, I am not so sure about that. The average video gamer is 37 according to last year's study, but I am not sure what the average age is of the mmo gamer. Might be the same, might be a lot younger. Personally I call the 30+ age the "older" gamer, not the "old" gamer because in my eyes an old gamer is an ex gamer.
