Yeah I have to agree OP, I get frustrated when I join a df, say my greeting and no one says a thing. Its like come on people, this is a MMO correct? You did join a cross-server DF right? Show some respect and at least acknowledge the person who is talking to. I hate using RL examples, but if someone says 'Hi' or 'How are you doing?' Are you going to just ignore them and run off, or will you reply to them? If it's the former you're just an asshole I guess. And that seems to be the type of people the DF attracts.
