Honestly, I think this is getting blown out of proportion by the use of the term "puffery", which I don't think is appropriately being used here. Although the argument against justifying things with puffery is completely legitimate. This is pretty standard marketing. They aren't saying they are #1 or even the leader, just leading, which could mean tons of things, it just sounds nice. Mumble, ventrilo, teamspeak and raidcall can all be leading the industry in innovating every aspect of VoiP services. Although the 'THE leading' does seem misleading, 'a leading' might have been more appropriate. If you search "leading low-latency voip" top 2 results are voip.ms and mumble. | ||

If a statement isn't meant to be taken seriously, it must have some value outside of its literal meaning in order to be worth our time, like humor. The relationship a consumer has with an advertisement is very different from the relationship one of our forum members has with a post. When claims are made that can't be backed up, especially by people who are not veterans of our community, we call bullshit and get rid of them. edit: In other words, if everyone thinks puffery is now a perfectly acceptable defense of claims made in posts, then you've all lost your fucking minds. The OP is pretty shit for the reason that he did nothing but post an EG media statement with no discussion or anything else. The section with which you take issue is directly taken from that media statement. Hence my nonchalance towards the issue because I know that it's just the usual marketing bullshit. Standard EG, really. I don't know how the fuck you draw the conclusion that everyone suddenly thinks puffery is an acceptable defence for nonsense claims in general posts, however. Pretty long bow, Nony. | ||

RaidCall is FREE, and amazingly resource-friendly. RaidCall is currently working with several top E-Sport organizations such as Fnatic and Evil Geniuses, and hosts online tournaments around the globe. Visit http://www.raidcall.com/ or our official Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/imraidcall for more information. RaidCall – Your Social Voice Network to Connect with The World." RaidCall as voice communication tool is severely lacking in settings and customisation departments, and claims about low-latency and crystal clear voice quality, according to my user experience, are bullshit. | ||

Sounds and looks really retarded. But obviously great job by EG securing another sponsor. | ||

I dunno but raidcall links into games dynamically and the UI is displayed in game. Lots of games see it linking into the games graphics and assume its a hacker, hence the bans. | ||
