I am going to agree with the OP too. The game is trying to cater towards NON MMO gamers in an attempt to get them to play an MMO. If you have 100 people standing around you all looking to do the same instance Why do you need to use the DF? Seriously if conversing with other people is that stressful to you maybe you need to stick to single player games. Hell I sent a person packing that wants an action packed FPS game and was not happy with FF and wanted FF to be design around what he wanted. MMOs today are becoming too mainstreamed just to make everyone happy, however in the end they are making no one happy then finding out they need to go F2P just to have some sort of player base because people will play for free. However Free players that will not spend a dime on the game will not be supporting development going forward because the publisher is not making money.
