Why are people such pieces of shit in MMORPGs nowadays?

In the past everyone used to be talkative, funny, witty, etc.
People would emote, dance, tell jokes, actually have FUN.

Nowadays nobody has fun nobody talks nobody does ANYTHING

I spent all day crying right next to a portal so someone would ask me why i am crying and i would tell them a sob story to get them to pity me and gift me the high isle chapter.
BUT NO, LITERALLY NOBODY ASKS ME WHY AM I CRYING. Everyone just walks past me

Literally the ONLY WAY to get someone talk nowadays is to say something racist.

      Why are all mmo's like this now? Retail WoW, FFXIV, ESO, SWTOR.
      In game chat is all dead because people are too afraid to talk so friend groups all use Discord and you will rarely see in game chat.
      Why the frick are the terms of service like this for mmos of all the fricking genres to discourage communication.

      This, also it's the fact that MMORPGs are huge these days so the community is a scattered, atomized, mess. Then you have discord. I was in a guild not so long ago you were basically non-existent unless you entered the voice chat to hang out.

          It didn't used to be just life though not really at all, before people would at least make an effort to socialize in game but they simply don't because of what's already been said. You don't exist anymore unless you're discord regardless of how fricked up it is, if you're zoomer you wouldn't understand.

            I don’t know how you can argue that people are less social now but at the same time state you need to be in voice which requires being far more social to be in any clique. Like surely that must mean modern mmo players are more social now than ever before.

            Almost as if the good ol' days of gaming, we couldn't afford to alt-tab a game without risk of it crashing, so things like keeping IRC or Teamspeak open in the background wasn't as common for MMOs, so people communicated ingame out of necessity.

              TBC community was peak. Its so weird seeing the social dynamics of modern games. I cant even explain to zoomers how, in 2006, you could log into a game to play and chat with people. There was no meta, there were no sweats and rankings, you didnt have to have discord open in another monitor to carry on a conversation. In theory, you can still do all that now, but the spirit is just lost. Even when I successfully recreate it for a minute on a private server it just feels pathetic.

                Discord killed the social aspect of mmos off for good.

                personally i think it's a combination of these two things. discord/reddit are the main places people go to talk about specific games now, rather than doing it on official forums or just in game. there *was* sort of a meta back in the day, but you would discuss it and figure it out by talking with other high levels players, rather than reading it on a discord guide/watching a youtube video. i remember like 10 years ago i tried to get into destiny 1 and my friends wanted to do the raid. they told me "anon, you need to watch a youtube video to know how to do this, otherwise you're going to be lost" like motherfrickers you haven't played this yet and you just watch youtube videos on how to do it god i hate gaming so fricking much

    People did those things back then because they were engaging in a different kind of free play, formless and not goal-driven, they saw the game as much as a virtual world as a game. Then the companies figured out people subscribe longer if you keep them chasing carrots on a treadmill so they started designing features to lock the players into an instrumental play mode that only cares about goals. Take a look at all the shit there is to do in whatever game you posted, I'm guessing it has a dozen subsystems that do nothing but keep players isolated and running around doing useless activities by themselves.

    The function of an MMO is too vague in a post social media/smartphone world. Used to be, people who wanted to play a grindy rpg while shit posting in a chatroom would play mmos, but now you can do that by playing any rpg while shitposting on your phone. Thats why final fantasy is the only one contending with WoW. WoWgays are sunk cost fallacy Black folk and final fantasy found its niche as an erp haven with player homes and good character customization.

        Vent was only ever used to be organized in group events thoug. For the most part anyway. Of course you would have those people that would hang out in there all day and expect others to do so as well. But most social interactions would take place in the game chat.

        Now you have "official game discords", "server discords", "guild discords", "LFG discords", "Roleplay community discords" and so on.

        Might not be the ONLY reason but it's one of them. You can also blame social media in general. Because people just get their social interactions on those sites and or on discord and will then not seek to socialize within the game as much and just focus on the "gameplay" instead.

    Further, pornography has seeped into almost everything. It used to be I'd be fine talking to some strangers but now I avoid it for simple fact that the pervasive feeling is anyone trying to talk to me is some discord groomer.

            Technically wrong. Larping involves live action roleplaying, meaning, dressing like a character and acting like him in real life.

            I merely soft-roleplay.

    No thats how mmos always were. Even in eq and ff11 probably the most social mmos that demand you to play with other people to make any meaningful progress 10% players would make up most of the chatting the other 90% were essentially bots outside of “hi, brb, gtg” and like minor strategic talk if the mob they were hunting required.
    >no dude it was social because people dance emote
    Theres more dance emoting on the ff14 rp server balmung than any other mmo i ever seen but I won’t even call that a social environment. Its more like a afk while dancing and maybe shitpost in general chat until your que pops simulator. Mmos were alwayd for geeks and most geeks are not social butterflies, idk where you got the impression otherwise
