MMO
noun
an online video game which can be played by a very large number of people simultaneously.
This is what it is. This is all it is.
I am honestly over the arguement that playing an MMO means you need to actively play with others all the time. Players may choose to group for dungeons, trials, world bosses, Harrowstorms, etc., but they are in no way obligated to do so. They have complete free will how they want to play.
If someone chooses to log on and spend the day playing solo that does not in any way diminish the fact that multiple others are playing at the same time, or make it any less of an MMO. Nor does it mean that those playing solo aren't playing the game right. Yet I see this being complained about over and over.
It's time to drop that attitude and stop trying to push your way of playing on others. And stop using a misconstrued idea of what playing an MMO means to try to justify it.
