Sociabilization on MMORPGs...

CleanWater · 2018-10-06T06:51:15+0900

Well, it's not the first time I look for a MMORPG to play, and I always see the same things. MMOs, as the name suggests, should be a massive multiplayer online game, where people interact with each others. However, I often see people playing completely alone, they refuses to join a party and sometimes even to talk with you. They even have the trouble to play with two simultaneous accounts, but don't play with another human being. And no, I'm not talking about bots here, I'm talking about real players. Bots in MMOs is other thing that I really can't comprehend, instead of having fun playing the game itself, they put a bot to do the work all for themselves, even if it's in exchange for real money trade. But the most weird part of it is the whole point of a game to be about joining with other classes to play together, and people insisting to play alone. What's happening with humanity?

"i want a game that players can actually decide how to behave through their actions"
does not equal
"letting everyone do anything with no rules or enforcements"

I think you should reconsider trying to point out anything to others when you're equating statements like this.. its pretty much nonsense.

Here is another different perspective, I mostly come from your opposite side that I don't trust strangers because they often do stupid things, which lead me into play solo bcz I don't want other people to bother me or getting a mood breaker because of that.

Me, like many players, want to be able to chat with random other people when I'm engaging in the grind (it alleviates the grind). But, we don't want to interact with other people because... well... other people are terrible and the badly designed game systems just make this worse.

Gee, is it any wonder that I don't want to play with random people.

Yeah... random people are generally the worst in any game you play, even ones that aren't MMO's. I used to play a lot of shooters and we would always complain about, "stupid randies". Which is random teammates we'd get paired up with who were particularly terrible at the game, complained constantly during it, had like 1 kill to their 20 deaths, wasted power weapons, didn't team shoot enemies, and other such nonsense.

The "Random Players" is typically why I avoid most any Multiplayer game these days, unless it's cooperative.

I wonder if people would play an MMO that had a vetting process for new players... to ensure that you're getting people who understand the game mechanics and other mechanics in order to ensure that you don't have nearly so many random jerks who don't know what they're doing... bringing down the experience of other players.

Is there a reason that you insist on trying to antagonize, insult, belittle, and harass me at every opportunity, even when I've said and done nothing to you?

There were only a few MMOs I played in my life.
Ragnarok Online was my first, only good memories.
Years later, Runescape, Archage, Old Republic, Terra and Age of Wulin.
Sadly none of them could hold me for a long time, since every MMO fails at some point and becomes boring very fast.
Also they are huge monsters which love to eat your time, Im done with them.
