I know this feeling all too well. What irritates me about it is when people who have [and generally, make friends in them easily] assume it's from lack of effort of just ~no social skillz~.

TBF OP never said whether they were trying to make friendly overtures or be friendly or make friends or not. They never said anything about their attempts at being social.

They said they do shit like go along on missions and contribute to the team and you can do that in utter silence while wondering why you aren't recognized by anyone for being 'tag-along NPC #4 who is there a lot.'

True - but I've also seen people do all of that and *still* end up feeling like the OP despite trying to be friendly. Just because they didn't mention doing it doesn't mean that they aren't.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-05 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But in this situation I wouldn't blame them for asking, is all. I know sometimes it's hard to make friends but I also know a whole lot of people who do the loyal dedicated NPC thing for months then complain that they never get recognized and it can get pretty dumb.

Perhaps MMOs are a really shitty place to make friends for most people?

Sometimes, it can be.

A lot of it is real time and fast-paced and if you're playing the same games/quests a lot, the focus might shift more toward tasks that don't require a lot of conversation (collecting treasure, quickly killing off a mini-boss, etc).

yeah, i don't know anyone who plays in an mmo to make friends. do people make friends sometimes? sure, it happens. but it's definitely not the best place to go if that's what you want to do, since most people are in it to play the game first and socialize second.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-05 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe the chit chat stuff can come off as trying too hard.

Oddly, when I go into something and just do it with no focus on making friends, I end up with friends.

The best thing for OP to do is relax and have fun.
