The Trust system will always remain a failure and garbage to me

Same! I like the story too! I also play the entire game solo with the exception of stuff I'm forced to group into. I don't have an FC, I barely chat in-game, and I haven't used party finder for the greater part of a year!

However, I recognize that since this game is an mmorpg, I expect to have to see and play with other players. Whether I like it or not, it comes with the territory.

I respect your opinion and don't mean to sound snarky or whatever- just we disagree on what "MMO" means (and that's fine). I'd even go as far to argue that FFXIV's definition doesn't match since they force solo-play in a large amount of the content (notably quests/MSQ).

To each their own.
