Those are definitely things to be bummed about. I was planning on doing story mode first, then play online so I could have gear.. But seeing at this rate there is no point.
Is anyone else bummed about Splatoon's interactivity?

I am as well, it's likely going to happen. Hopefully they announce some good things for it?
I hope not also.

It's somewhat annoying to know that they are taking steps backwards rather than forwards. You would think that they'd want as many people to buy the game as possible, I, along with a few other people I recognize here, have been posting comments on the official splatoon facebook page whenever they post something new. I refuse to stop trying to get what us fans have been asking for.

You are a true soldier. *Salute*
I agree completely, Nintendo has changed their minds on things before, anyway.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo just likes to mislead the consumer on things like this. There's no way the developers weren't planning on Smash DLC when Sakurai said Mewtwo was going to be the only one. Lucas was likely already in development at this point considering Sakurai also stated that each character takes a year of development time.
Of course I doubt any of that sort of thing is going on here. Still it had to be said.

I didn't even think about skipping single player right away, we do need to play it a bit to unlock ranked mode though right? At least there's one reason :P

That doesn't sound likely, but it could be possible.
I don't care about voice chat either way and understand the frustration some have about its exclusion, however I completely understand why Nintendo decided to not put of in. It's a rated E10+ game with a cartoony art style, it would be quite jarring to be playing a game such as this and getting cursed out by people over voice chat. I do believe they should have at least given us voice chat for friends or used parental controls, but people would simply exploit either of those and kids would figure out how to bypass the Parental options.
Nintendo has done the whole chat things that ended badly like Picto Chat and Swapnote, both got exploited. I know people hate the whole "Why am I being punished for other people's actions." I get it but you have to understand, that happens in a lot of cases other than gaming and the reason for it is because you always have bandwagoners just waiting to do it too. Voice chat is just proven factually toxic due to the anonymity of the internet. It has its good uses but it is predominantly abused and exploited.
As for the whole custom games stuff, IGN worded that poorly an it lacks a lot of context, also you can make friend lobbies.

I lied, you don't need to play offline to unlock ranked (my b), you need to play turf wars. So offline is really just a separate game altogether.

I felt the same way when they announced no voice chat.
But I got over it and think its not entirely imperative.
And we may figure out someway around it if something is necessary (ex: skype or raidcall)

Interesting. I think that makes sense. Still wish you could use voice chat, at least in ranked. Having ranked matches with no voice chat? Gross.

I'm hoping that the servers won't function like Smash Bros Online.

I understand. It's a bit harder for me, coming from online fps/tps games and just now not being able to talk online. It would be fine in normal games, but RANKED GAMES?? Not okay in the slightest.

Custom games doesn't bug me much. I mean, what is there to customize about the matches? Having different game modes seems like enough to keep me entertained.
And it seems like there's a lot of confusion about private rooms with friends. Some sources say we will and other sources says we don't. I think we're just going to have to wait until launch to find out, or until a direct if Nintendo decides to have one. I feel Splatoon needed one more than Xenoblade X does. :/

Agreed, the only things I would want to customize is Time Limit, Team change, and Map voting/Host's Choice

I hope it doesn't disappoint, I've been hype for the game since E3 2014
