In that case, get rid of the MMO aspect and rebrand the game as a big single player game on Steam and consoles for 50 bucks.

Actually, I think that may be part of the problem. Too many players these days try to "beat" this game. Either they "beat" the story and raids by finishing FCoB as quickly as possible (and subsequently grow bored and quit), or "beat" other players by outgearing everyone and pushing themselves into everyone's faces. Many players don't care that there are other real people behind each avatar.

Personally, I blame this speedrun attitude for the lack of socialization. Speedrunners want everything right here, right now, and have no time for frivolous things like "communication". It is disheartening, and quite possibly the major factor in why most people in DF have bad attitude. Simply because the ones with better attitudes are sick of it and go pre-made.
