I much prefer chatty groups. That's usually a good sign that people are easy going enough that they aren't going to flip out if anything goes wrong. The only bad part about it is trying to decide who to give the com to since everyone was awesome.
Typing in the game is clunky and reduces the amount of time I am spending making uninteresting trash mobs dead. Also, there's little of interest to say about the game's modern dungeon design unless I am explaining a boss fight to a new player.
It's not that I don't like talking to people. It's that your average dungeon run is mind-numbingly easy and has little to converse about.
I'm not talking about telling people your life story. Simple hellos and what people want to do in the dungeon at the start, and an occasional how is everyone doing, asked between mobs, not while fighting. I just get nothing most of the time.
When it comes down to it, no one cares. There could be bot in the group, but as long as the dungeon is cleared with minimum mistakes, players wouldn't care.
Sorry but I believe that is the truth.
Honestly, the more available online gaming becomes, the less social it will become.
If you want casual chatter about various stuff, I would strongly recommend a social FC instead of playing solo.
I am starting to think people are so lazy that saying hello is like lifting a 50 lb dumbbell for them.
