Thread: Why are people so adverse to talking in discord within FC?

I have been in several FC's that advertise discord but no one seems to just hang out and talk unless there is a specific need like dungeons. This is the first mmo that I have played that people just seem adverse to talking and getting to know one another while playing. Without people to talk with and get to know, I feel like I am just playing solo and the FC is only there for the buffs, but no community.

Guess that just depends on the fc. Mine spends most of the time in discord chatting, tho we're basically all real life friends at this point. I've known them all for close to 7 years, and we've all met various members in person.

My fc is also not very big, so....

I think you're just in a cess FC, unfortunately. No short order of them, either. Took me a while before I found an active FC that is very chatty. Discord is always blowing up and the VC channels usually have 5-8 people in them at a time. Just got to shop around.

wtf kind of mmos do you play

I'm shy idk about u

Im an introvert and while I love talking, I don’t like to talk all the time. I also tend to want to listen to music or focus on the content if we are doing harder content. Nothing against my friends but I tend to distract easily so I need to remove distractions unless absolutely necessary.

I prefer face to face conversations.

I don't really bother with FC's in this game, though. I've watched too many fall apart due to gossip and petty drama.

For me at least it's a generational thing. Some of the people in my FC definitely do hang out in Discord all the time, and they're great people. But I started playing MMOs back before there even was Discord (or any legitimate voice chat really) so it's never really been a thing to me. I'll chat in /fc all the time but voice chat has never become part of my "flow" when I'm playing.

Tbh Idk y use discord 4 what fc chat should be

Pretty simple for me, I just don't care to. I toss them excuses such as being on PS4, not having a microphone/headset, not having the money to spend on the stuff, etc. etc. etc. Those are all true, so that is what I say because I don't want to be mean to them. It's just how I am. I avoid phone conversations and the like with people I know irl as well, so it is nothing personal, anxiety related, or anything like that. I keep everyone just an inch or two away from kicking distance.
