everyone is selfish mate. - it's why anyone ever does anything. - nobody does things they like or dont like unless they benifit from it in some way or another. emotionally, physically etc. - so choosing to talk to people/strangers with a mic (if you have that ability) for a limited time only to cut them out after you don't need them, or keep talking to them because you enjoy it, is still selfish. - and the choice is play solo or dont play at all when it comes to parts of the game. which makes no sense for game that "trying" to be coop friendly. they could do that by adding matchmaking. simple. - a fireteam of friends or people who are communicating, should be a bonus. not a requirement for an apparantly social encouraging game. - look at call of duty or battlefield. some could make the argument you need a team to play those games. -.. but sometimes, on rare occasion, you get a bunch of randoms that fill their roles beautifully. which unfortunately is almost unheard of/unseen in d1 and 2.
