Do people see this game as an MMO?

I ask as mostly I find people in this game are not willing to talk to others.
Be it in fc or in the world or in dungeons. Is it a thing in ff14 or a over all problem 8n modern mmo.

I say modern mmo problem, but if you want a community thats chatty find a more active fc with a good discord. I do always get hellos etc at start of dungeons usually. And if I just ramble away someone usually enagages in a dungeon so eh. I dont think everyone is super anti social.

Well I don't have much of talk in dungeons no matter how I start it. As for fc not as easy. What more I want people to talk in game not on a side app that make me stop playing the game.all fc say they are active and all that but 99.9% never are.

This sounds like difference of opinion. I've been in a few FC's that didn't talk much in game, but was active in Discord. So they aren't lying, they are just using a medium you don't prefer. As a note, I talk on Discord, and don't have to "stop playing the game", so I'm unclear as to what you mean by this comment.

Sounds like you haven't found a good FC/group to play with.

Some people are just unlucky like that.

Finding a good group of players requires a lot of luck. You can do everything right and just...not find enough people to run stuff with in a way that works. Which makes sense, since a lot of groups are already 'full' and not really looking for fresh blood. Or they have schedules that just don't align with the player reaching out.

Then, of course, there's going to be people who did find a good group but for whatever reason it fell apart. Sometimes due to drama. Sometimes due to inactivity. Some players have had that happen multiple times and simply don't want to risk going through the exact same song and dance once more.

Yes, I see it as one.

Talking in voice chat on a discord does not make you stop playing for more than the half second it takes to hop into voice. If you are typing you may as well type in fc chat. Just bounce about till you find one that is more active. My first fc was totally dead, the two after and my most current are much more active and have chatty ppl in em. Raiding fc's got some good people in em, some toxic ones too but I just ignore them xD

I usually don't engage with other players in game unless I come across them often in PoTD or dungeons; or if they need help due to having some social anxiety in group situations. It most likely is a modern MMO problem though, but there are people who will talk to you, but most of the time people are either chatting with their fc or friends through discord rather than in game chat.

Yes and this is what kills the mmo part for me
