You are right OP. It's because this game is crossplay with PS4. Console players aren't meant to socialize (pretty casual they are), just do quests, dungeons and enjoy their little limited fun they have been enforced to. Then also there is no massive PVP which is very important thing for a MMORPG. Too casual i say, too much.

I'm sorry but I don't see how my being on ps4 makes a difference to wether people are social or not.

You would understand if you spend your entire childhood to adult since 90s with playing plenty of MMORPGs and MMOs on PC only.

You can plug in a usb keyboard to a ps4 just as easily as you can to a PC. Wireless keyboards work too.

If you wanted to, you can play on a PS4 exactly the same as you do on a PC. You can set up the UI to use the PC format and also plug in a usb/bluetooth mouse.

It also works the other way around. You can use the PS4 menu and use a controller on a PC.

So really the only difference between ps4 and PC in this game is a matter of slight performance enhancements and personal preference.

This is exactly what I do, and I love being active in my FC and LS's.

If you've been playing on PC only, how do you have any idea how console players socialize online?

I've been playing MMOs on consoles for nearly sixteen years, now, and I've had no difficulty socializing. I doubt I'm any kind of special exception.

Granted I haven't played many mmo's but I have played many other games on many different platforms from my childhood (in the 70's!) And call me stupid if you want but I still don't understand how having ps4 playing with pc makes people less social.

Ignorance is bliss huh?.

I get you guys are going to give this guy some flak for a broad generalization, but please understand, he does have a point. Just compare the community activity in Runescape or Ultima Online to that of Everquest II on the PS2.

Without a little moderator, a large open social network would be pretty bad. I expect some 'good enough' solution could be found though.

The reliance on moderation has ruined social interactivity in chat channels as well as RP communities; People need to be exposed to each other without fear of ban hammers. Not to mention trying to solve RP problems through reports? Come on guys, either commit to your RP or don't be in the RP community.

The difference is, XIV is not exclusive to a platform, unlike all three of those games you mentioned. On top of that, there is no reason to marginalize an entire group of people who play on PS4, they could just get a keyboard and mouse, attach it into their PS4, and be just as effective as a PC player, both socially and in skill.
