Reson #4: I have no social circle
Apparently there are a lot of people who drag parts of their social circle - their friends, acquaintances, colleagues, work buddies, barbers, dog groomers, frenemies, husbands, wives, secret lovers, overt lovers, "it's complicated" paramours, vicars, and fellow FLGS attendants - into multiplayer games they play.
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I don't have a social circle. If not for my family, where noone else is interested in video games, I'd be alone as a dog.
So whenever I hear some insensitive self-appointed MMO gatekeeper say "hurr durr em-em-ohs are social games you shouldn't play them without a group and the devs should stop catering for carebear casuls like you", I get pretty salty. (Especially since, as I pointed out in Reason #3, MMOs are one of the few games where you can actually meet people.)
@Gamble - I hope you feel sufficiently smothered with reasons, mhm?
I have a social circle (two players of course are not a circle.), but somehow never in a game that I am playing. I still don't get why people get upset if a solo player is gaming in an mmo. (other mmo-not-solo users are so much social. yeah right. mostly -as far as all the games I have played mmo-teams end up in solo players showing off and a bunch of mindless repeaters that want to shout their opinion. why I have an opinion? as a former military I know there is no 'i' or 'me' in 'team'. ) and to form a team you need players that are not part of a team. and if mmo players would be more social there would be less solo players.
so I like the #3 as well.. mmo to meet other players.
