I have played many MMO's in my life and this is the most silent crowd (accept on the forums) I have ever experienced. Nobody says anything EVER, when you group, or do dungeons, or pvp, skirmishes etc. Does nobody have anything to say?
Oh that's right, you are all probably burned out on all the useless social media we have today. But seriously, very quiet in the Neverwinter game community when in groups. Just an observation of this game I have noticed and I'm wondering why?

Because most people in groups likely give no **** you exist and just want the purple at the end of the dungeon
Everybody should care that the healer exists otherwise there will be no purple at the end of the dungeon...:p
Defiance is worse than this
My point was more a joke on the fact quite a few MMO players only care about loot, and acquiring loot. Not so much people.
Whats the point?
The point is massively multiplayer online game. You can't tell me it's not more fun when you have a group that talks and communicates? I'm not making a big deal out of it, it's just something in this game that I have noticed.
If you want to talk join a guild with some kind of voicechat ffs. Thread over.
I understand what your needs are, may I suggest a guild to fulfill that desire to communicate? Most mainstream players as mentioned by other replies are not interested in making friends or chatting, but, you will find the players that choose to join a guild are more likely to be sociable than those that don't.
If the rest of the community is as bad as the forum community this might be a blessing.
I'm in a guild, a very good one with vent. I don't have any needs, this is just an observation by me of this game that seems a lot less talkative than most MMO's I have played.
Unfortunately, what you are observing is the future of online gaming. A sad realization I know, but a simple truth none the less.
Its way more fun when people talk. However the average player does NOT want to talk. They are not playing the game to play with other people. They want the thrill of seeing their level go up or acquiring that new piece of gear. Me and a buddy came up with the term the "pursuit of uberness" and its all most player really even turn the game on for. Its also why these games allow players quick and easy access to levels, gear, content and generally anything that covers that progression based style of quick reward for minor work style of game play.
Talking just slows that down. Add in that the average player is also most likely listening to music, watching a video on another monitor, talking to friends on Skype/voice chat or generally not providing the game more then 65% of their attention and now in game text chat is more annoying to have to pay attention to then not. Its our culture in and out of games. People don't want to talk anymore. Some do... most do not. Talking just slows down the progress towards whatever self interest the individual is currently perusing.
Its not for the better but the attitude isn't going to change anytime soon. In fact its getting worse and worse over time. Its things like this that remind me being "old" is honestly better then being a 20 something or heaven forbid a teenager these days.
I end up falling behind because of my furious typing.
And quite a shame it is. As society becomes more "me, me", "gimmie now!" and "you don't matter, only me!" it becomes more depressing. You can even see it with some of the replies in this thread.
This is why I never pug, which is a shame since we used to meet a lot of neat people from around the world that way.
Oh well, such is life I guess. But that doesn't mean we have to settle!

Then the PS4 is screwed. Their big selling point is the social aspects of the console. And I didn't say I don't understand this trend, I quit keeping a friends list 3 years ago, I had already had enough dealing with the (insert whatever you want here)
This is accentuated by the fact that the group system sucks badly, You never know who is going to be in your party or much less if you will ever group with these people again so why give a frack? At least this is what most people think I beleive.
If we had a better grouping system like DDO I think this might not be so bad as you could "choose" which groups you join and come to recognize people that pug often etc.
On the whole the system seems designed to make you rush to cap spend some cash and then goodbye and on to next!

Typing ingame is fine but im used to voice comm.. Thats just how it goes.
Amen

OP, say hello to the problem. The more MMO games tend toward being amusement park rides where they hold your hand and lead you from Fun A to Fun B, the more people like this become the target audience. There's not much to be done about it except to find a guild populated by social, actual people.
Yea it is. I didn't even know that game had a chat window at first.
