One thing i do miss about old wow. You almost had to have a circle of "friends" to get anything done without pulling your hair out. Half of your guild would just mine and craft all day while chatting in guild chat. Sometimes guild chat was so hilarious id just run around orgrimmar and listen all night. I think many people played only to socialize, which was great. And theyd would always ask for help with something, or help you with something. General chat or trade chat always had conversations going on and they would also sometimes be hilarious. Random people whispering you if your armor looked cool, or asking you to tank something, wanting advice or help with something. Good times.

I haveny found anythIng in FF14 that comes close to that yet. I may just not be looking hard enough, being older and less sociable. But I really dont think its quite the same.
