I've had too many bad experiences. In fact 99% (maybe 100%).
I just turn the chat off.
I think I'm cursed, and the curse is that everyone will hate me and treat me like trash/lesser.
That's just my life. It's why I don't look at thread I post in, because I know I'll just be insulted.
I'm choosing positivity, which is why I avoid EVERYONE (in games and real life).

no point in trying to socialize with random strangers that you'll never see again after the dungeon run ends
this is the consequence of cross-server grouping and automatic group tools

it's a huge turnoff when someone tries to force socialization in MMOs. you clock that there's something wrong with them, and while i'll happily interact with an actual good party or person, i know when to shut up.

It's not really the people's fault, party matchmaking kills socializing. People don't give a shit about random dudes the computer picked for you, and that you will never see again after you cleared what you queued for.
I played Monster Hunter 4U back on the 3DS. If you were in a lobby, chances were you would play the whole afternoon/evening with the same couple people. Because the interaction persisted between runs you could actually build a connection with people.
Then Monster Hunter World comes out and everyone just runs SOS (which might as well be random matchmaking). Pick hunt off top of the list, go in, 10-20 minute hoont, get out, never see the same people again. Noone talked, there was no sense of community, nothing. The interaction was fleeting and transactional, you help in a hunt to get parts from the same monster quicker.
Safi comes out, which was a monster you couldn't SOS (due to being a lobby-wide raid). Because you'd hang with the same couple parties all evening people would be more open to banter and/or callouts on what they were going to do in the fight.
Similar went for Omega in Wilds, which didn't force SOS off, but had a boss so meticulously designed to anally rape noobs that you were better off just retrying with the same 4 people. By the second hunt you're no longer randoms; you're a team.

Matchmaking is the issue. In a world where the computer streamlines the community experience, the community experience ceases to exist.
>>
>>743255463
Only talk in non-instance based MMOs where your grouped with the same people all day. I don't have the social battery to get to know a new group of people every 10 minutes in a queue simulator.

4U randos seemed competent enough in my experience, at least compared to new games where some people will even die to fodder.
Maybe I just got lucky.

In FFXI you had tons of time to chat. Getting a party together took time. Then you had to travel to the location. Melee was mostly auto-attacks, and skills and spells were paced out and had long cooldowns. And when you needed to recover it took time.
FFXIV had none of that. Parties are formed by the matchmaking system. They're thrown together and immediately shunted into a dungeon. Auto-attacks don't account for shit and you have to spam skills constantly. And if there it only takes a few seconds outside of combat to have a full recovery. Nobody pays any attention to the chat channel unless they're sitting in town ERP'ing.

Because I'm gatekeeping you.

>>743258178
I spent 3 days trying to do the urgent into g rank in a group, but every single time he did his charge at least 2 people would cart. I said fuck it and soloed it first attempt, but the groups got even worse from there.

>the majority of people play MMORPG for fun
>corporations see how to tweak games to exploit people (number goes up, gambling-adjacent stuff, etc.)
>the majority of people no longer play MMORPG for fun
It's pretty obvious why things are the way things are. In the 90s/00s, the social/fun majority kept the minmaxers from getting too carried away. Like they'd remind them to take a break, have some fun. Then in late 00s you get those exploitative tweaks, and the minmaxers start becoming the majority. They crowd out the social/fun types. It was a run away effect and they all left.
Unfortunately, there's no way to undo the damage. MMORPGs are synonymous with those exploitative things. The best thing you can do is rebrand to a different genre.
>>
It turns into tranny ERP the moment someone gives that thing any attention, i mute these creatures, on a good day it clogs up the chat and on a bad day its straight up tilting getting destroyed while someone in chat is talking about "cock kissing", meanwhile the enemy team is just fucking laughing at us

You're not cursed, just have skewed expectations that people read and return to you. But you likely won't read this. See, why did I write that last part? Because you told me you don't read. This is exactly why you get bad reactions, people mirror what you give them
>>
>>743258352
I think I solo'd that urgent on the first or second go anyway, and randos were honestly fine all the way up to Gog. Endgame guild quests were more inconsistent but iirc it was the hardest content in the game and some monsters moved like crackheads at 140 so more than fair.
I bought the game at launch, so maybe if you bought it later, you were stuck with shitters? IDK honestly.

Thinking back on it makes me think I should really replay the game at some point.

I don't want to socialize with random retards online, especially not weird people who are overly talkative and social online. I already have real life friends, social circles, and social relationships, I don't need to form parasocial ones with names on a screen.

I'll talk and interact while we're playing, but I don't have any interest in interacting with you beyond that.

G-Rank turn lobbies in 3U will forever be one of my GOAT gaming experiences. Just hoonting with a group of randoms where you slowly cycle through a few rounds of different monsters, gradually getting better at playing with/around each other, light banter, arm wrestling between hunts, and watching some guy run off between quests and come back with a new piece of gear he just finished...

Me playing online games. But I don't really like chatting with randos so I don't mind that much. But it does make me get bored a lot more quickly since I don't have friends to play with.

Because duty finder puts people from different servers together. if you had to match with people from your own server, your own reputation might matter. As it is, there is no need to socialize in dungeons so nobody does.

FFXI remains the best MMO in history.
>>
>>743255463
MMOs amusingly used to more or less be a space for nerds to socialize. It had appeal then, when you could talk to people who shared that culture.
It is no longer that, it is now just normal space for normies 2. Conversing with any given random mmo player is much the same as conversing with any random person off the street, and why the fuck would I do that?
