Speaking from the other side, I hate socializing on MMOs. I used to play WoW years ago, and I hated when someone tried to form a relationship. I didn't even like talking to people in my guild for the most part, there's a few people that were cool, but otherwise I just wanna be left alone. And its not to say I wouldn't participate in end game content, or help the guild out. But I just wanted to help out, and not be talked to, lemme do my part silently.
Although to be fair, some of the anti-social attitude comes from my hatred of typing while playing a game. You can't do as much when you gotta stop your character every 15 seconds to write out a response. I'm playing a game to play a game, I don't want to have a meaningless discussion about what kind of sauce I like on my spaghetti. I'd rather talk anyways, so I was a little bit more lively on Vent, plus I can talk and have both hands free to play.
