Re: Introverts - oftentimes they don't even want to talk to FRIENDS

Here's what's been missing from the Introvert/Solo arguments so far: sometimes introverts/solo players don't want to talk to ANYONE, even FRIENDS. They find it TIRING. What the introverts argue: "There's too many trolls and squeekers, I don't want to deal with randos." What the extroverts throw back: "You just have to find the right people/clan, we're not all trolls and squeekers!" And the extroverts are never going to win that argument. Because what the introverts mean is "I don't want to have to chat with ANYONE. I want psychic silence. I don't mind if you're here helping me with this activity in-game, but I don't want to TALK to you about it, or LISTEN to your chatter. Sometimes I'll consent to chat with a small group of friends, and other times I won't. You can't make me, deal with it." And then give them their damn solo endgame content. Geez, it's equally abnormal to ONLY want to do things in groups. We all need some solo time. EDIT: Nearly everyone here apparently suffers from poor reading comprehension skills. I'm describing what many extreme introverts go through. I never said I was an introvert. Honestly, some of you are just as bad at making assumptions as Ghaul was when he assumed the Traveler talked to the Speaker.

  • So then if you are introvert then don't expect to get everything you possibly can from multiplayer game. Buy single player games.

        I've suggested actually making this more multiplayer friendly like having profiles where you can flag which activity you are interested in and lfging, also indicate other play preference like no mic, adults only etc in game. I'm not the most introverted but I understand. Honestly you might be toxic level introvert. Social Anxiety, yeah I have that, but you can't be that sensitive or uptight if it's just some laid back chatter Playing with someone like King Gothalion would be intolerable to me because he made so many strange noises during his BoTW stream I couldn't even! also being introverted, I cannot stand having to go somewhere like LFG.com otr the app or even reddit to have to complete content also do you really sprout your quinoa. Maybe you are a little too fussy!

      • As far as I'm concerned it's someone else's problem if they don't like talking to people. Sometimes you have to go things you don't like to reach a common goal, if I want some quiet time I play a solo game, destiny is multiplayer based and needs a team to get the best out of it. Solo players usually complain because they can't be bothered to get a team in my experience anyway, most of us were solo to start with.

          • Introverts are cool people but they often end up lonely because stuff like social anxiety. If ur a girl and he is an introvert, you prob need to make the move, vice versa. Just saying.

          • Hi, Introvert here. Psychic silence is my preferred mode. I actually really enjoy the cooperative activities in Destiny, but I don't often want to have to find a group, talk, chat, etc... I'll explore endlessly in patrol, run strikes, or jump into IB as a solo guy and try my best to mesh with the team. It's probobly why I'm so thirsty for more Destiny lore in-game. I spend all day talking at work. When I play games, I enjoy the psychic silence. Cheers.

          • I just generally dont like talking to people, in game or not lol. Now if you (not you op just "you" as a generalized term) were to ask why I come here and 'talk' to everyone the best answer i could give is typing isnt talking, its easier for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dont mind group activities, as an avid ex wow player i raided and ran instances with some of the best guilds on my server, still rarely talked to them. In d1 i ran strikes and occasionally raided with co workers and their friends/family, still wouldn't talk to them either. That being said i would also easily waste hours soloing things just for the hell of it. Anyway, yeah you're pretty close to being right, maybe a little extreme but yeah. Destiny needs matchmaking for all content that doesnt throw out ridiculous requirements or require one to talk. So what if a group fails because they cant get mechanics right, that happens even with groups that communicate. Competent players wont have a problem. With matchmaking destiny also needs everything to be soloable, even if its a dumbed down version; for those times when you want to experience whats going on by yourself, look around more in depth, or just vent some frustration.

            • You can’t generalize with this. Everyone is different. I am an introvert. I have no close friends mostly just work acquaintances, but I do have a fiancé and a child. I really don’t like to talk to people when playing games, but I can cooperate. I just think of it like I’m at work. I don’t want to talk to you, but I will since I have to.

              I don't know what introverts you're talking about, but us introverts stick together. I have by far one of the most introverted friends and he wants the same thing as everyone else in this game, he just is afraid that he won't be able to carry his own weight and so doesn't want to be an inconvenience to anyone. Also, me being an introvert myself, it's not that we don't want to talk to anyone or be with anyone, it's quite the opposite. We're just afraid to ask people for help - we think it's too out of place and inappropriate to inconvenience someone like that - and we're also afraid we'll portray ourselves incorrectly.

            • "I'm an introvert. I don't like being around people. It is physically tiring for me. But I also want to be in a group. LUL :P" Yah see that's not how it usually works, in order to be friends with people or to be in a group it tends to involve talking and communication. That's how multiplayer games work. That's how HUMANS work. Communication. If groups do not communicate they will likely not succeed in their task and will also likely not have a good time. If you want single player content you got it! Play the campaign! And play strikes/crucible on mute! You knew what you were buying. :) It was advertised very clearly. It's like someone buying Witcher 3 and going wait I'm an extrovert! Where is my multiplayer content? :'(

            • If a person is an introvert then they shouldn't have bought a game that is meant to be played social. Plenty of single player games that are on the market

            • Sometimes I don't feel like chatting with people online as well, after a long day, it's bothersome and tiring. However... 1) that doesn't mean I'm introverted, I'm just normal. The way people self-diagnose these days is pathetic. Like 4 out of 5 kids has some kind of ADD, Aspergers, on the spectrum, whatever. 2) If I am feeling this way I definitely don't try to hop in a raid, nightfall, or any multiplayer online activity that requires communication with other people and expect them to cater to me. I play something else. Solo players and introverts should do the same. It's like if someone wanted to ride a damn bike in the middle of the interstate because they didn't feel like taking the bike path. GTFO

                Games shouldn't be made to suit everybody. Bungie have said it enough already that Destiny is about playing with and making friends. It's quite clear that making a game for EVERYONE doesn't work because while some people like some things other people will dislike those things which leads to a game with lots of features but zero depth. What you're asking for is unrealistic. There are plenty of games that you can play without talking to anyone. You CAN play Destiny solo and without talking to anyone but don't expect to be specifically catered to in any way that would take attention away from the true point of Destiny; playing with and making friends. Obviously I understand the friendgame memes, the game has to be inherently good first, that is the primary goal.

                • Completely agree. I do get like this at times. Would be so much easier for content like Nightfalls if there was a matchmaking option or in game LFG. I don't have the skill to solo NF's but can usually hold my own in a fireteam. The additional problem in D2 is that it's been such a farce compared with D1 that basically no one from my clan has played since January. So the opportunity to play in a comfortable setting without having to talk to others when I don't want to is gold dust rare.

                  This has been the issue since D1. You are punished for just wanting to hop on and play without having to meet up with people and carry out a conversation. I and many others would just put ourselves offline for this (I have a great set of friends in Destiny so would be bombarded with invites if I appeared online). It's incredibly annoying to be screwed over for playing solo. For instance I think the Glory ranking system is fatally flawed because it does not reward you for good play but, rather it rewards luck. Case in point. You can do great in a match and have a KD/A of 2+ but, if even a single person on your team is of the "Run at the enemy screaming like a loon" variety then it doesn't matter one hoot what you do. You're going to record a loss.

                • I'm an introvert, a casual and a scrub but end game activities are what I like best in this game. I had a clan with mostly irl friends but after a week or 2 they left the game. It is hard to find a team cos I don't like to communicate. Maybe I have been lucky most of the times but I most of the groups I found they don't ask you to talk a lot but only when needed. If you are too introvert to announce a symbol in the raid or to confirm that you will take the position you want maybe you should not play an online social co-op game. Either suck it up or play only solo activities/games. Most people are not annoyed at people who don't speak but people who don't listen. We used to run raids with mute people back in destiny 1 and never had an issues with communications as they followed orders. Saying all that I'm excited for the new game mode on Mars, it looks like that we wouldn't need to find a group cos most of the time fast travelling on the same location will end up finding a whole team waiting for an event which makes it also solo friendly.
