...How do you feel the social aspects of this game have changed since it was added? Personally, I haven't really met anyone in-game the game that i've ever seen a second time, considering most people are from other realms. Dungeon Finder killed the game socially. At least in my experience, how about you guys?

Yeah, I am not even that social and I don't run a lot of dungeons.... and it even bothered me how no one talks at all. If someone says, "Hi" no one replies! well, I do It's strange for sure.

I like it. Queues are fairly quick, and it allows me to get groups easily. If I am looking for something more social, I will find a good guild.

Actually I find it to more social now that I'm alliance.

I like it and have made a few xserver game friends. If you play at off hours you get the same people more often. Best feature they have added in the game for me since I am not going to make a guild appointment to raid and never liked standing around spaming trade for a group.

It's the only reason I came back and played the game, I had played the game for a few weeks at a time, maybe 5-6 times since the game launched.

I can't stand to level solo by questing, why do you play a MMO to just solo??? So I dont know how you can say DF has damaged the community, because no one grouped before DF.

And for the record I leveled my pally from 15 to 80 using DF and there were a handful of times I saw the same person a few times. Not to mention that you can re q up with people that are in your random group from other realms.

DF puts you with people, but you will probably never see them again, and even in the group most of the time people don't even say a word. This is damaging the game socially, on many levels. Most of my WoW friends I met before the DF I met doing random dungeons, now I never see the same people twice let alone have a conversation with them.

This was what I was talking about. Sure you're grouping more, but most often talking less and having even less social interaction. It's more like playing solo with bots...

Join a guild. Do other stuff besides dungeons. Problem solved.

r? I freaking hate that. Most of the time no one replies so the tank just makes a judgement call (like he should have in the first place) and pulls anyways.

There's pluses and minuses to that, though. Being able to LFD while doing dailies or something else makes much more efficient use of my online time, so I'm spending less time being "social" in WoW and more time being social in RL.

Guess it all depends on which one you find more "social."
