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

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.

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?

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

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

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.
