And I agree the DF needs to remain in game, (a MMO today couldn't compete without it. I understand that most people want it, and want it now!) I just think it would be fun to have one server without.
The key issue is your assumption that the lack of social communication is based on DF. I counter with FATE grinding. It's Open World, server based leveling yet still not a lot of chatting going on. Now write your reply in 2.5 second or less and you might found the real issue.
