Why are people so adverse to talking in discord within FC?

[Tommara]

I have been in several FC's that advertise discord but no one seems to just hang out and talk unless there is a specific need like dungeons. This is the first mmo that I have played that people just seem adverse to talking and getting to know one another while playing. Without people to talk with and get to know, I feel like I am just playing solo and the FC is only there for the buffs, but no community.

Because I don't play games to chit chat, and if I'm in a mood to do so, Discord is the most obnoxious place to do it.

Edited Note: It's a sad thing that you consider an FC as people to talk with, rather than play with. It's sad, because in my experience with FF14, you're probably right.

But I've been playing MMO's since Everquest was in beta, when no voice chat even existed, and so know what a good guild is really about.

Voice chat is not required.
