I'll admit I'm not a big MMO player, but what you said about bots is so true. When I do rarely play an MMORPG, I'm basically in it for me and my experience. Everyone else running around, in the grand scheme of things, means literally nothing to me.

I played TESO as if it were skyrim basically. And WoW, for years I either played solo or with my real-world friends. I've always thought that to be a negative against MMORPGs in general but after reading your article, I have more perspective on WHY i've felt that way. Good read.
