I know what you mean. I love the idea of playing an RPG in a living open world populated and influenced by other players. I don’t necessarily like to interact with the random I see socially, the most social I get in gw2 for example is when I join a WvW match and just pick a running party of randoms then I follow them and do what I see them doing. I love to be part of the team and help but I don’t like to talk and I don’t want to know them.
