I don't see how wanting to maintain a little sociability in MMO's is an attack on convenience. It is a sad trend both in MMO's and among many younger people today though to avoid being sociable in favor of limited/minimalistic contact with others. The game needs a working system to allow PEOPLE to easily find other PEOPLE to play content with, it does not need to remove the need for people to talk to each other and organize with one another by automatically matching you with 5 other people (especially from other servers as some new MMO's do) that you will likely never see again or even remember their name.

It's sad really, hopefully your generation will wake up one day and realize what you are missing when you continually choose to limit your interpersonal relations with other real human beings. If some of the nerdiest anti-social MMO gamers could manage it ten years ago, I'm sure you all could too... it might actually be a good lesson for you in how real life society operates.
