My biggest issue with the community nowadays is the fact that no one really talks to each other (at least in Local). Everyone seems a lot more reserved than they used to be. Seems really hard to find people in-game to strike up a conversation with. IDK, maybe it's just me.
It's not just you. i blame fakebook for conditioning most people reluctant to actually notice others around them.
This. This what i can not agree any more! This is so true!
I feel like people only communicate if you're from the forum or very well known around. Whether your on other sites or just have a special talent. Nowadays what really bothers me but no one sees...is that whenever an artist appears to the forum then shows up in the game, everyone is stick to them and trying to be their friend. I'm not saying its bad - its good to meet new people but if you're just talking your way, expecting to be a good floof then thats wrong. Another thing i see is you're the type to help someone constantly and you happen to be in the game, yea, people are gonna approach you. This...is where i feel like competition comes in or jealously probably.
Overall im saying you are the floof that didnt fit what i stated above, trust and believe you're going to sit by yourself an whole day. I kinda miss going afk and coming back with a bunch of whispers. Now i get just a long list of local chats everywhere. Its saddening and its saddening what ways people do to make friends. You only make friends if you're talented/skillful, well known, a mod, or anything.
Honestly its hard to make friends now. People have trust issue because certain users stabbed in the back or just stopped being their friends or just using you. I rather people come to me than i go to them. I dont want them to think im just using them or giving more stress.
