new player here and i personally find taxi-bot monologue annoying but feel like just having a setting option to turn off the voice would be lame.
So why not give us option to pay extra tip to have taxi-bot be silent during the ride? Would also be funny to see how many ppl actually do pay him.

			Only if we can have a paid option to make him talk non-stop.

			The cabbie's great. Lighten up.

This thread appears at least once every few days.  However, for every person complaining about the taxi dialogue, there's two or three people saying that they love it.
 
Personally I don't know why people care enough to complain about it.  It would be kinda hilarious if there was an [F] Shut up the cabbie (5 silver) option and he talked nonstop, and got louder and louder as the ride went on until you hit F.  Maybe that could be snuck in during an April Fools drop.

			Just go dead inside and tune him out. Works like a charm.

			Just turn your speakers off when you get in the taxi.

My first couple of early taxi rides (Celestion I think) did not have any dialog at all, which I thought odd.. just a quiet ride through the area.  I think it was leaving Thayd that I got my first taste of the cabbie.. and thought it was great.  After a while he starts getting repetitive (randomness at work) but overall he's still entertaining.  If not, I have a mute button on my keyboard.. the devs don't have to waste time coding something for that.
 
Give me (F) Activate Afterburners (5 Silver) instead.
 
Whiny forum posters?  Don't get me stahted..

Yep .. that's what I do (But, I would still like a permanent taxi squelch setting in the default UI. ;) ).

			I don't mind the cabby to be honest... I'd much rather be able to pay the graveyard narrator to zip it... I'd be fine with losing a bit of money per death to not have to hear the insult to injury. :D

			The NavMate addon has an option to mute taxi driver.  It's not updated anymore, but still works.  Guard Zone Map also has the option (and is updated).

			I like how they put in the patch notes that they added more taxi dialogue. I don't think it's going anywhere.

That cabbie is puntastic! there needs to be more recordings they can throw in for him, There should have been a databank with over 120 Phrases for him so we dont hear the same thing everytime lol.
 
Lol pay 1 gold for him to silence himself would be an interesting thing to add though

			Only if I can also pay to have him amplified to be heard by everybody in the zone.
