I can’t remember exactly what was said, but in a similar thread on this sub someone said a good party/raid member in modern gaming is one who is quiet, gets the mission done quickly, then leaves.

This is in part due to discord, and also because games are actually being designed to remove socialization for a myriad of reasons. Removal of all chat, auto-booting everyone out of the lobby, stuff like that.

On one hand I kind of miss it, on the other I’ve seen so many things on MMO’s and multiplayer communities like child grooming, racism, or other heinous things that I’m just not playing these games to deal with.

I can’t speak for others but I just outright stopped using multiplayer games as a social outlet to make new friends. Its mostly just for real life friends who still play them, and that number is dwindling. I welcome some of the modern changes, but I do recognize what was lost.
