Really? Even that I don't see...with all the people in Mor Dhona/Idyllshire constantly talking, and with how small the game world is, I run into people all the time. Meanwhile when I played WoW I would never run into anybody because the game world was much larger, there was only a handful of times I ran into anybody I knew or met someone and became friends, and everytime it was always in orgrimmar. In XIV, it's happened everywhere nearly and much more often due to the 'smaller' areas and more generalized idle locations, as well as party finder.

I guess I don't understand this point.
