How do you socialize in wow?

[Maniac2]

My example:

*log in*
/guild Hi all
/guild *few "Hi"s
*pressing LFR button
*doing dailies
*queue pops
*1 hour later /guild bye all
*logging alt
*pressing LFR button
*1 hour later - log off until next day

So much for socializing....

I talk to people just like I did in Vanilla, TBC, WotLK, and Cata.

Sounds like you don't socialize much tho. /shrug

Thats WoW, no socializing is needed any more.

ask in trade LF friends that can help.

Everywhere i go i say hi, in LFR/LFD/random BG/scenarios when i go to towns like Goldshire.

and 90% of the time people talk back to me, If people aren't social to you then it's most of the times your own fault for NOT talking.

I don't socialize. My guild's been dead since 5.1 and no-one is ever online. My friends (that i knew IRL) have quit in cataclysm. I don't talk to people in LFD/LFR.

I have not made any friend in game ever, though I had few decent healers in my friend list in classic. I just prefer being alone, so no challenge modes or heroic scenarios for me.

Join the PvP community, stand outside stormwind / orgrimmar and chat and duel and laugh and cry, ask them to do premades, make an arena team, get their skype, see their facebook, ask them to come on a few transmog runs, hang out with them, meet their friends, do the same thing with them

I've got alot of close friends on WoW now by doing that for the last 7 years.

Yeah, but you're in Outland. I'm from Silvermoon. Servers like ours are pretty big with guild havinng 60 members online at some points. My old server barely had 10 in any guild that I knew. Who's to say he isn't in some dead server?

He can still be social through x-realm/LFD/LFR/random BG's, Plenty of other people from other servers there

Yeah, well, what are you trying to say? How you and your guildmates are a bunch of taciturn loners?

I always have 3-10 people online that i've met through either WoW/D3 and some RL friends.

It's almost harder to try and do something without engaging conversations.

I also chat with guildies/random people in heroics.

It's basicly what you make of it, i've met people on trade who just asked a question, which i answered, and we havent stopped talking since

[Deleted]

I usually chat to whoever I see (also to strangers I see inspecting me). Hanging with guildies on VT. Help out strangers which usually results in a nice chat. And met some people from WoW irl after a while (then again, that's not really in WoW).

[Deleted]

There's usually bucketloads of more banter being said in /g then just the usual hi the whole evening but i guess it differs from guild to guild and servers as well.

[Deleted]

there is no more socialzing, I queue up for random shit and log off gg wow 2013 no wonder they're losing subs like crazy haha

Yeah well, I tried. The only thing you get is slurs because you're from another server. It sucks that when you go to Goldshire you can't see a single person from your server yet there are 20 people from other servers.

I say hi in dungeon groups, but I miss when I'd have to find my own dungeon groups and make friends that I could level up with.

Well on my server there are always like 50 pple in Goldshire, that's why i love it (Goldshire is my favorite WoW town :P)

Hehe i know what you mean^^

Most friends i have in game are friends that i by raiding and speaking on vent. I have 1 friend left from Vanilla raiding, and its so funny to look back and how we became friends. Then a few from TBC that i became friends with through random heroics run, and some wrath/cata raids. So--->
I talk to them mostly.

In LFR/LFD, it doesnt matter really, because they are never from my server anyway, and the 15min we spend in there is not enough (LFD), and LFR i dont even bother because there are so many "Im so pro" exploding in the chat.
However i do try to socialise with random people i meet in the world, and sometimes i get whispers randomly and its "fun". And ofc helping people also gives you friends o/
PvP can give friends, but it depends really. Mostly i get "I hope you die from cancer co**suc*ker" from PvPers when doing arena, and in random BGs

Sadly there is little socializing for me. All of my friends in-game stopped playing and my Guild is dead. Aka max 3 people that log on every week. And Horde is completely gone on my server, so no socializing on that side either. I think it would improve greatly if they would just do some bloody server merges

[Vaelorian]

OP your example is a prime example of a guild that is very much the opposite on how a guild should be. Or if you are the one not saying anything other then what you wrote, then yes you are the problem yourself íf you want to socialise. It doesn't seem that you want to socialise.

I mean if I log in I say the same thing you do but inbetween stuff I talk with people about all sorts of stuff like: "hey guys did you see the new Ironman yet?" - and from then onwards... the guildchat won't stop basically. We'll go from topic to topic. Not saying I am constantly typing. But if I don't react another person will. And I will jump in every now and then. And I don't do it because I feel I have to, but because I think it's fun. If you don't think that sort of thing is fun, then stop complaining about socialising cause clearly you are the problem.

And to come back to what another person wrote about : "standing outside of SW and chatting." Sorry to each their own and their own interest. But I avoid those places like the plague. Nothing there to be gained but immature chatter where people regularly make emoticons like: >< =D - perhaps I am just too old.
