We already experienced that time in MMORPG's. the players asked for more quality of life and this is where we're at.
we interacted with each other in the past because we didn't have a choice. we had sense of adventure and exploration because datamining simply didn't exist.
the thing is, none of that will just magically go away because they people don't want to.
people can interact with each other more, but they choose not to.
if i were you, i'd boost up classic because there's plenty of interaction happening there.
