Having played the old FFXI MMO for two years, I look back at all the times I spent waiting for hours at a time as DPS for a group invite. Half the time I would get an invite, and by the time I got to the party location, either the healer or the tank had to leave, and I was back to square one. All those days waiting I thought "Gee I wish there were some way to just queue up at the DPS unemployment line and be assigned to a party, ANY party at all, to get this thing underway."

Forced social interaction for group formation can suck it.

As far as those who can't take the time to "smell the roses" and appreciate how beautiful the environments are or how immersive the virtual populace is...well, some people just can't see the forest for the trees.
