If you find folks you can mess around with, more power to you.
I think it's more that social media took away the need/importance of organic socializing in mmos. It used to be you HAD to chat with people in game to find a group of friends. Now, you can find a discord for a hobby, and you're instantly in a group of like minded individuals. For some, it's incredible. For others that enjoyed the old school style, it feels like something has been lost. I think people are still generally just as social as they've always been in mmos, now it's just connected to 3rd party tools like you said.
