Do people see this game as an MMO?

Define mmo..

To be it has had no meaning outside a few chats and making friends with a world I could explore on my own or with someone I choose.

Honestly I think to many people including game makers use the tag "mmo" to overally enforce social aspects.
That said will i chat with others and all that sure but I will do so on my own terms.

The thing is some people i may hate so i wont say anything to them. Somedays I may be in a bad mood or w/e else so I avoid chat completely.
Another thing is people get uncomfortable to easy for me to want to talk to most people.

I do,

Just a different modernized MMO than previous old school MMOs that I’ve played,

Social interaction & cohesion were far different back in the day. Back then the worlds were huge & wikis didn’t exist except petty guides in which you came to relynon other’s knowledge & built great foundations of long lasting friends, guilds etc,. which in turn created the era of exploration, golden age nostalgia, whatever, but it also created some of the most aloof, unruly & proud elite-ism,

Modern MMOs you have wiki, guides & in-game directions to take you to places without feeling lost & just not as overwhelming ((fair game for everyone)). Due to this it fostered huge self dependence & group instancing became a norm. This is good, but it also diverted most people from being social to solely focus on supremacy or just highly self centered. In a way social engagement its still alive yet not as prevalent back then,

Hence why most MMO veterans are reluctant for change due to nostalgia, while also the current modern MMO gamers sees it on a different angle,

Neither one is good & bad, ultimately, the change & initiation starts with you all the same & your interaction with other’s

I don't, I see it was a single player game with some multiplayer elements (ie, dungeons you need for the MSQ)

I play this game primarily for the story and my house <3

FFxiv has nothing on Vindi.. trust me...

Sounds like Black Desert tbh, I basically shove myself on a training dummy, go AFK and come back to more exp, skill points and daily log in loot.

I get the feeling people don't socialize a whole lot here because people tend to get reported over silly/stupid things and it somehow get people put in GM jail. It only makes it worse since GM's wont tell you what the issue actually was; thus making it impossible to know what even happened.

Be it in fc or in the world or in dungeons. Is it a thing in ff14 or a over all problem 8n modern mmo.

What do you mean? It is marketed and is a MMO.
What else would you call a subscribtion based B2P game?

People don't socialize much at all in these games outside of FC's/Guilds,Companie ect cause of the fear aspect of players who get too involved and go after other players for game play or the like. Some folks are put off by that. All this social media stuff has made us all completely antisocial unfortunately.

It all in fc/ls and some in party (in my 8+ year experience at least). There is little to no incentive to talk to randoms. If it was like the older mmos where sharding and cross world wasn't a thing but here its like "will i ever meet this person again"

So voice wonderful voice that most of us use every day.
Let's start with a joke to lighten the mode.
I don't dare to talk. What if they can track me down from the sound of my voice!
Usually a joke, I would say back in my eve days together with a reinsuring answer.
"I promise no one here can track you down by hearing your voice."

Now seriously
First of all, the in-game voice in any game SUCKS except maybe not in DayZ
Do you know why in-game voice sucks?
Because the Devteam concentrates on making a good and pleasing game, not catering to people who got Discord phobia or back in the days Teamspeak and Ventrilo Fobia, they are entirely correct in doing so.
I don't mean this in a bad way to anyone, but even my 80+-year-old father knows how to use Discord, so I'm sure you can get it working too.

So get used to it. No one uses in-game voice unless you start to play DayZ.
PS I'm sorry if I sounded harsh but it is the truth.
