Fair enough. I think how much of that you run into depends on the system, though. Different consoles appeal to different demographics so that has an impact on the types of players you'll encounter. I probably ran into more trolls during a month of MH1 then I did during 3 years with Tri, for example. I haven't played with enough randoms in 4U to really know about the 3DS community, but I'll take you guys' word for it based on the 3U posts.

Still, I'd personally rather take that chance than play another MH with 4U's skimpy style of chat, especially since I mostly play with friends anyway. I can definitely understand the concern, though. How much mileage you'll get out of it varies from person to person. You can always just turn the mic off and use the in-game keyboard, though.
