So I was thinking how cool it would be to have voice chat in Minecraft. Think about it. If there was a server with factions you can go into faction chat and Voice Chat will only be heard in your Faction. And if your text goes to all players then there should be a button to talk to everyone with a Microphone. And to mute annoying trolls you can hold tab and click on there name.
I just think that would be pretty cool instead of having to skype random people you can just voice chat with them in game. In my opinion, Voice Chatting will make Minecraft better in the way of multiplayer. And if you don't like voice chatting at all then you can go to the options and have a mute all players button. That is what I think... How about you?
Sure you can mute players/trollers, but what about those with alts? You mute one, and once the troll/griefer knows, they'll log in with another alt and continue.
A couple of tweaks in the system and the 'microphone' can be just pure decibels blasting your ears, and you'll have to try to turn each person off until you get the person correct if you still want voice chat.
Some people cannot get microphones
Having such a protocol and something large like Hypixel's server can literally blast away the servers CPU trying to send it all over the place
Unless voice recognition is 100% accurate, cussing would be allowed.

Well with an alt account with the trollers you can just mute that account to. And with the big servers I do realize that but maybe admins can only give voice chat to certain people. Like the Higher ranks and the more trusted people. If people cannot get microphones then they just cant voice chat. Nothing wrong with that. And yes there will be cussing but when is there not cussing in the chat? Even if the server gets a plugin to stop cussing people find a way so it will be the same for voice chat. So #4 is the only one that might be a problem.

I could imagine Minecraft tools being made by griefers/trollers to join on a server, blast it's microphones, stay on for a second, log out, and repeat the cycle with different alts and proxies
And there we have another discussion, the abusion of higher ranks. Normally when you log on to a normal server, you have to donate to get any higher. Yeah...
People who can not get microphones will feel left out
Yes, you are right about people finding a way, but many plugins literally patch with them with regex and more, so they're just wasting time trying to find it

You do realize, that this would mean this would have to be vanilla, and it would take a lot of coding to change it to only certain ranks.
Not that I don't support, I don't have an opinion on this, though keep that in mind.

No no, he/she is probably saying that everyone (or just the ops) of vanilla can have voice. If it were Bukkit compatible, then we could have a permission to do so

MOJANG DOESN'T SUPPORT BUKKIT.
I think I have made my point.
There are plenty of free third party alternatives for voice chat. Being as minecraft, in and of it self, isnt really a team work based game, voice chat isn't really needed as part of the game. It would be much better for Mojang to focus on what is really important at the moment,
aka, major bug fixing, optimization, and the modding api.
I'm not particularly against the idea, and if implemented well, could prove to be convienient for alot of people, but for now, it is just fluff. As cool as new features are, I personally would like Minecraft to reach a stable state with the modding api before they continue dumping more content on us.

People without microphones will feel left out but on every multiplayer game there is a thing called text chat. They can just use that. For example games like minecraft on the xbox people without microphones should feel left out if they dont want to buy a 10 dollar mic. And games like BF4, BO2, and many others people who don't have microphones live without it. And the trolls that log out and log back in there is a thing called banning. There would be rules on servers that just add "No Mic Spamming"
The solution to this is third party programs like ventrilo, teamspeak, mumble, skype, etc. Mojang implementing a vanilla voice chat would be both pointless and a total waste of time and resources.
I'm fine with using third party programs to chat. A lot of Minecraft servers have a teamspeak, ventrilo, or mumble chat server available for players. We personally have a Mumble server with 50 open slots.

Look up "If minecraft had voice chat" by ItsJerryAndHarry and it will show you why they do not add this.
Useless things, the concept of our minds.
