Hi. welcome to your first mmo. Let me show you the ways in which you are horrendously wrong
- You essentially just said ‘because its 2022, you should be expected to download third party software to have any form of communication with players in game’. Either youve only ever played on consoles your whole life or you need to give me the name of your dealer because youre on some shit. The game does not have a built in voice chat. If i seriously need to explain why this debunks your entire line of nonsense here than theres no hope of a civil conversation. because you have a delusional take on the world and noone can help you.
- I just came from FF14, the most social MMO on the entire market. Every. Single. Guild uses guild chat. Yes, alot of them also use discord to actively chat, but guild chat is HIGHLY active. The second you join ANY guild, at least 5 people are saying ‘WELCOME!’ in guild chat and then the GM or admins will give you a link for discord. Every guild Ive ever been in over the past 2 years has had an active chat in game. I dunno where this made up bullshit about noone in mmos using chats in games comes from, but its certainly not in any game ive ever seen ever. Maybe in your call of duty on playstation you have a problem with chatting because there literally is no chat box, but no multipl pc game that is relevant has 0 in game chat. Even fucking overwatch has an active chatbox lmfao

Global chat is a good way to socialise
You don’t know what you are talking about. I’ve been playing mmos for a long time. And from what I’ve seen a lot of guilds have moved away from text chat boxes. And most of them use ventrillo or discord because it is more reliable than the in-game voice chat.
That’s one thing I noticed right away on this game. Not a hi, barely a gg at the end…

Yea, thank god they changed. Instead of knowing players to help or msg one of the many who do it as a service for some currency. You pay the developer for convenience instead. /s
You could just run to where you wanted to go. “Want” being a key word here since when you logged on you did or worked towards whatever you wanted. Not what the game tells you.
You were not being controlled by the mighty system clock and dailies.
Older MMOs had a different pace. There was no constant sense of urgency.
Oh no, 20min of running when you’ll prolly spend the next 2-6 hours in a dungeon with people.
it’s not like older MMOs lacked travel systems anyways. DAoC had horses, Anarchy Online had the Grid, Ultima Online had Runestones and Moon Gates. EQ was just designed that way.

I have been able to talk with randoms and joke around with toys like the frying pan and transformation stuff. But i am also the one that initiates the interactions majority if the time. I don’t mind it if i get ignored here and there since it just be like that at times.
If you expect someone to make interactions 100% of the time then you aren’t going to really get any. Make your own social interactions if you expect so much of it.
There’s enough social content in raid pugs. More than enough
it does suck the social restrictions between servers. i did a oreha hard today on my alt and 2 of them were grudge 1 enjoyers who literally died the first min but me and a striker carried it and the striker was super cool but there is no way to add them or play with them again.

Idk man I’ve been having a blast playing this game by myself.
It’s like imagine you walk into a bar… no people… open bar gg
classic 0 IQ take.
Yet, at the same time, if you don’t have a social group to do content with, you will fall behind and not be able to clear anything. As random players are just terrible at… everything.
Just had a 1462 Gunslinger in my Dark Yoho (1370 Guardian) the other day. 2-Set Relic, 5x3 engravings, proper stats. Out performed by my 1385 4x3 Sharpshooter alt.
The game is terrible at keeping a group of people together, but you heavily depend on being together with people on your own wavelength.
Been said before but the unfortunate truth is because of apps like Discord you’re simply expected to use it at some point, whether it be to find a guild or to simply run a raid. I think a majority of game devs have caught onto this as well. Why bother adding more social features and wasting the team’s time when there’s already a popular third party app that does it all for you and allows people to organize themselves in their own way? I don’t like the mentality behind this and think it detracts from the game…but it is what it is unfortunately.

it is sad because you are the one who was playing alone. While some of us still having fun with our discord group
Lost Ark is not an MMO.
I think it has a lot to do with the games graphical perspective. I think if it was a 3rd person game like FF or New World etc… It would be more immersive. This game does need more group activities that are actually fun, mario cart was something, but ok at best. Like mario party like activities on the regular. As the one person mentioned… Time gating content within the game doesn’t help…
This is like path of exile, but a slightly better curve to “mmo”. Actual multiplayer. 
I heard rumor of unreal engine 5, but I know nothing about that… Maybe fiction.
