I just don't have enough friends who play and my social anxiety kicks in every time I have to play with strangers, some of whom don't have any patience for people who are new to MMO's. It doesn't bug me when they yell at me, but when they yell at someone who might be a kid or new to video games in general, I spend my time hoping they're new enough that they absolutely cannot keep up with the battle chat while they're trying to play.
Anyway, I think I would have had a different experience had I started with friends and gone into dungeons with them instead of randos. I did level up my gathering and crafting skills as high as I could without playing all the way through A Realm Reborn though. Level 50 I think. Also got far enough to be disappointed with ninja after I spent all that time leveling up rogue. This after starting as a tank and getting tired of being yelled at for not pulling a more MOBs than I was comfortable with in early dungeons with sprout healers and/or damage dealers just because some jabroni wanted to get some achievement or something I didn't actually care about. You want to go fast? Bring your own friends!I'm just hear to soak up the damage and point this boss away from you.
All that said, I was enjoying the story much more than I ever enjoyed WoW. I'm just sad it had to be multi-player because there's always a chance you pull someone who ruins the experience. To be fair, I just think that's proof that I don't like MMO's. I'd love to sit and play with 15 people I'm friends with, but I haven't had that many friends who I regularly hang out with in a long time, let alone friends who have the time to play a game with me. Perhaps once I retire. :D
