If you want to play solo then don’t play a fucking MMO.

Gatekeeping a game ? Good job mate

Call it whatever the fuck you want but this is like bitching that there is no fishing in counter strike.

MMOs are built specifically to be MULTIPLAYER and to be SOCIAL. Sitting there alone running dungeons solo is the exact opposite of what an MMO is.

People like you with that mentality is the exact reason games like WoW have turned into dumpster fires and I want nothing to do with you ruining my games.

Go play a single player game instead.

Yeah the game is made so much worse for allowing people to do something without you

How do you see this change impacting the overall experience? When you say that the single player mentality is ruining MMOs, what features or gameplay decisions are you picturing?

Fucked that you’re downvoted

It’s legit a game meant to be played with other people it’s IN THE NAME OF THE FUCKING GENRE

Shining example right here of exactly why people would rather play solo.

[–] Coreidan -3 points 3 months ago

Good and they made games just for these people. They are called single player games.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Hence the desire for a single player offline version of the game...

Not everyone believes that devs are the authority on what makes a game fun, which is why mods are so common on PC games.

Exactly. This whole genre is literally about playing together.
