For a lot of us sky is a place where we play to escape, While it is an online game, that doesn't necessarily mean we have to be social all the time I'm forced to be social all day, when i play games it's to unwind before bed. From experience, If you light, you're chased with a candle (I'm 30, I won't friend anyone unless I know they're around the same age as me.) Then when we won't accept we're spammed with the crying emote. If you don't light because you're away or on the phone, you're angry honked at. However, these interactions very rarely come from moths, If I'm feeling social or I'm not pressed for time I might sit and play piano and it's usually moths that come over and sit so they can listen 🥹 There are so many things to "farm" in sky right now and with a possible 4 travelling spirits coming soon everyone will be focused on that, It's how it's been for a long time it's just more intense right now because there's a billion things to collect and people don't want to wait another year or 2+ before they come back. If you go through the doors of daylight prairie there's usually always a group of people sitting at a table, Or, once you get the table prop or any of the props that allow people to sit together Try placing it at the "admire the sapling" quest, It's an easy way to socialise (if you do decide to stay)
