The existence of the duty finder would suggest that less communication is preferable.

I am of mind that the existence of the duty finder is a suggestion that people like convenience, not that they would not like to speak to anyone or interact with them. It defeats the purpose of playing an mmorpg to suggest that is what people are looking for, solitude. And for those folk the trust system has been an option since 5.0.

When do people speak to one another in DF other than say hello or ty for the party? You're joking right? Many time they say nothing at all.

Unless everyone is social, I usually say "Hello" at the start and "Thanks all, gj" at the end. There are also times where half my party dies to a tank buster that another group's tank decided to drop on us and I say something like "Gotta love that tank buster. lol" like I did earlier. I was still the only one to say anything the entire time outside of the standard greetings at the start so I guess it was a little awkward. I guess it's my way of trying to de-escalate the tension.

Never know! I run a few specific roulettes just about every day. To be honest though that is also how I tend to cap my tomestones anymore, hence not running as many roulettes as I used to. It's just too good.

Convenience comes with not having to communicate (much) due to how easy the content is. Once the content starts to get harder, forcing more communication, people would use party finder instead of just using the duty finder.
