longer.blue

can somebody please tell me why mmorpgs are no longer mmorpgs, and are now just games with online capabilities? i miss the days of finding 3 to 7 other people to run content with and actually make friends. now it is just login, do your dailies, play a game where you can see other people running around, but never have to interact with them. why is every mmorpg focused on doing things solo now, or putting you in a giant open world with nothing to do? ffxiv: you do not really need to do anything with other people anymore unless you are doing hardcore raiding wow: the people you queue with can breeze ahead in a dungeon if you are behind on gear. if you are a healer, you barely need to heal because the tank can sustain themselves. even the dps can keep themselves alive. pso2 ngs: imagine taking a fun mmo that had purpose and real mission objectives, then replacing it with something that feels like an empty field with nothing to do. i do not understand where this shift came from or why mmos have gone this way. if someone wants to recommend some MMORPGs that arent dead and promote working together, please feel free. this isnt a post meant to cause any arguments. im just venting. #ffxiv #mmorpg #wow #pso2 #pso2ngs
