Still not a requirement for a game to be considered multiplayer.
It is, just under different circumstances.
Doesn’t need to be a requirement, but it’s an aspect that used to be key. You can be as silent and alone as you want.
But the aspect of making relationships is still key.

If that is how you interpreted it, cool. Still begins and ends with their lack of maturity in taking a joke… the rules have been the same for years with minor changes here and there, people used to joke all the time without getting banned, but I guess I’m old and the good ol’ days are a thing of the past… people have become kitty cats.
No, it wasn’t; many older multiplayer games had no chat messages or voice communication.
I can see why no one wants to talk with you.
Yes. You are complaining about the rules. Talk about a kitty cat.
I kept wanting to reply to you but I have to wait for replies lol. I 100% everything you said, and if I could I’d take your first two posts and make them their own forum topic, because you’re right.

Ahh… so you’re one of those kitty kats… no wonder you don’t have a point, 
What kind of kitty kats?
I am merely pointing out you are sitting here whining “but I want to break the rules”. While calling others immature.

That fact you think that’s what they said is whining, is exactly what they mean. Are they supposed to know their audience is argumentative and just not talk? Because you’re now trigged and may pull the report button if they say one wrong thing.

It’s 2024 and the novelty of talking to people in a video game wore off well over a decade ago.
Everything happens on various discords now.

And the idea most people are ok with this is pathetically sad. 5-6 people sitting in caves. No community.

But I am not triggered.
My point is comedy is about knowing your audience. If you dont know your audience (which you wont in a large MMO), then you cant know what is acceptable or not.
So therefor, you fall back on the rules in place.
The person is definitely complaining about people being soft, rules being enforced.

Thank you, I feel anytime people disagree they always jump to tell people they’re whining or angry or whatever… when you’re just expressing how you feel about a situation, he’s one of the people who are just part of the problem, it’s the lack of maturity.
Pathetically sad is whining that the game won’t force people to be your friend.
I get enough community from my guild and rogue discord.
lmao yeah it do be like that
I would attribute it more to the game becoming more convenient. A lot of social interactions back in the day while not explicitly for networking ended up being like that. You did a couple dungeons or quests or whatever with a guy because it was more convenient than going all the way back to trade to find another guy to queue with.
Then you liked playing with them, so you added them to friends and did more content with them at a later date and chatted during your downtime and realized that you actually like that guy and became friends from it.
It’s why dedicated groups (whether for raid or pvp) still have good social cohesion, you’re not constantly replacing your members for convenience so you have people actually stick around to get to know each other and become friends off that.

Man, I’d love to have proper discussions on these topics with a variety of people with differing opinions, but I’m tired, and the forums just don’t seem worth going into detail. I see people pour their hearts out here into a book post, and people just /lol or flame it. Again, sad, but I guess that’s the world now. xD

I guess. My counter is that just because writes a bunch of words, doesn’t make it a good point.
As to the topic.
I think a lot of people miss gift wrapped community. Where you log on, dont have to do anything. There are tighter communities nowadays, imo. They just require a little bit of work on the person seeking community to get into. Joining a guild, a community, a discord.
Some aren’t adapting to that, and are feeling left behind.

Yeah it used to be that simply being on a server was enough to be part of a community. People would invite you because you’re there and they needed someone (even if it was just for a warm body).
Now? If I’m looking to do dungeons or whatever, I can get a million warm bodies at the snap of my fingers. It’s the downside of convenience.
Though if you actually put the effort into joining a community, it’s as strong as ever. The “raid with a guy and then play league of legends with him when we’re not raiding” pipeline is still as strong as ever.
