I like the choice to be social or not. Sitting around grinding for hours listening to someone chatter about things is not my idea of fun. Seriously let's go backwards.. not. You can't force spontaneous interactions. The old way of MMOs is gone and trying to force people into what you feel a MMO should be will not work. Like I said leave barrens chat in WoW, usually there are two or three people who dominate global chats and it gets out of hand really quickly. Attention seekers keep on seeking wider audiences and personally I don't want to be subjected to their nonsense. If you are having trouble finding social interaction in this game then maybe it's a you problem because there is plenty of it to be had. I have seen this topic on every MMO I have played in the past 15 years. Always the same arguments chicken little the sky is falling because no one talks to me!
