It is a social game...

[Yashnaheen]

If it's easy it means less. Caps and a grind don't make things hard, they make things take more time. If you aren't part of a person's social circle you easily become an object of the game... as you aren't struggling to achieve anything with them. You are doing 1 of your 8 runs a week with them never to be seen again. If you aren't 100% perfect you are wasting their time as a random.

There is little incentive to be friendly or helpful as you rarely get any positive feedback from doing so the way the game is set up.

So here we are. These things aren't really the cause of internet assholeisim, but are what is in this game that enables it.

Knowledge and good deeds burn like wildfire through the community. It only takes one person to start the fire
