That's a weird opinion, I've not seen anything anti-social about this game. I spend 90% of my game time talking to somebody.

Not anti-social. Asocial. There's a difference.

There are very few chances at chance meetings of people. You literally have to go out of your way to look for people to associate with.

I've never had this problem in other games. 99% of my friends list and guilds over the course of my 12-13 years of MMO gaming have come from general chat channels and "friend of friend" connections. And the originator of those "friend of friend" connections are usually from general chats.



Found my main raid guild in Wrath of the Lich King by talking to folks in General chat in Dalaran, and met their recruitment officer in a completely off topic discussion from said chat channel.

Met one of my best RL friends in EQ2, he was an officer in the first guild I ever joined there, they were in level chat recruiting for a HQ run in Nektulos doing the Shiny Brass Halberd quest. Met another good friend of mine there, simply from replying to his banter in 1-9 chat. RIP Troubor, you poor sod. Still kicking myself for not going up to see him while I was his area. :/

WoW didn't start off with a Duty Finder, and whilst a lot of people were trolls and hate filled. It still had the need to go into groups for raids and such. It became more anti-social yes. However its still more social then FFXIV.

Also, the reason I am not playing EQ is because its deadish and outdated. The graphics are so outdated now that i've played other games its hard to play anymore. My new computer also has trouble running it because it only supports 1 core.

No, it didn't, but you also didn't need to do dungeons for anything. You could still level straight to cap and get rather decent gear *without* doing a single one.

And if your computer is having issues with a single core game, then I don't know what to tell you other than "you don't know how to optimize your PC/game".

Of I'm not mistaking,... The mmo RIFT started dungeon finder. Correct me if I'm wrong someone

No. World of Warcraft first added the dungeon finder in 2009 during Wrath of the Lich King. Rift launched in 2011.
