\o\ Finding your Sweet Lover (Or Nightmare) /o/

Too late for that statement. You should see how the Mentor, FC, and housing system is being upgraded.


It may be a video game in the end.

Yet, you're still going to interact with players rather you like it or not. Unless your telling me everyone with this statement has that much of a cold heart when they see another soul behind the Computer screen online. Tsk tsk tsk

Why would it be to late for that statment? SE is giving us the tools for player interaction, wether you make use of this tools or not is up to you. They're giving you the means to form "relationships" with other people, they dont have to give you the people for that too.
Do you expect your goverment to find you a wife/husband because they're providing a marriage service too?

There ARE means in this game to find like minded players - PF, the forums, maybe. Why would SE be required to help you find a friend?

And I frankly dont understand why you assume I'm cold hearted just because I dont think a game company should be running a dating services for all those lonely souls out there when they're main focus is, well, you guess: a video game that might include player interaction but doesnt require you to play it with your bff or partner for life.

(I also dont see neither the mentor nor the FC-system being upgraded - housing-system? I suppose you're talking about sharing your house with friends? Ofc people want to play with their friends and its good that SE is giving us the tools for that. They dont have to give us friends though.)

You said the following as your opening statement:

To SE this IS just another video game though - and therefor I dont think they should interfere with friendly player interaction.

Now your next response contains:

SE is giving us the tools for player interaction

I'ma spell this is out:






Diplomatic, temporary alliances, parties, and so forth.



For you to think a Relationship is just only about love and obtaining friends, you're sorely mistaken, its much more than that. Hence my previous statement on the opposite spectrum:

You're bound to create a relationship with them one form or another, rather its asking to play with them tomorrow, always happy to see them online, to stalking them on the games social outlet via harassment, or talking crap about one another.

By all means, try hard and convince me how this game doesn't push in the direction of adventuring with other players.

I never said it doesnt. I said: We have enough tools to ensure we can play this game already. We have DF, RF, PF - all tools in place to find you other people to do content with.
Maybe I missunderstood you but you seem to be looking for something more than just playing this game here - you're looking for someone to play this game WITH you and I dont see how thats SEs buisness?

Why do they have to add ANOTHER system to help you find people to play with?


(and if you want to be nitpicking, how about we start with how you wanted to find a marriage-partner, mentioned how you want someone to stalk and harrass (great choice of words here!) and ended up talking about "big" changes in FC and mentor systems that never really happend?)
