Troll the trolls. Great idea.

But yeah, this topic is pretty much resolved. Two mods and a few players have said that you can whisper for free, and never even have to use a speaker. Besides, I've never found any need for world chat. Alliance chat has been awesome so far for me, maybe I just got lucky with a fun alliance.
