 Social all the way.

Networking ftw.

 wow, so far according to the votes your either social or solo. Interesting.

If I can be the "Social Solo-Artist Glory Hound Crafter", then you have me pegged!

I can't be just one thing, and it usually depends on the day, how much time I have, my personal in-game goals, who I'm playing with (or not playing with) etc...

I picked social even though I also do some soloing and a lot of crafting and selling. I just prefer to group with my guild mates, and help those that are lower lvl than me with quests or whatever they need. I also enjo sharing any knowledge of the game that I have. Maybe this is why I have never had the best gear after being the max lvl. I just spend too much time helping others that I don't have time to just work on myself.

I'm definitely social, but the descrpition is not accurate, at least for me, although my enemy is the solo artist.

I play to meet people, and enjoy playing the game with others. Solo an MMORPG has no entertainment value for me, I'd much rather load up KOTOR or a good FPS game.

I'm not going to be "hardcore". I'll play when I want. As long as I'm playing with others, it's fun. Advancement is a nice addition to the game, but only because it opens up more content to play wiht other people.

However, if I'm bored, I'm not staying because friends or guildmates are staying, and if they leave, bye bye, I can make more friends if I'm having fun.

I don't mind players that are anti social. If the game has good grouping content, and you want to mindlessly grind somewhere by yourself at a slower pace, knock yourself out. Doesn't bother me.

I don't knwo what you mean by "upset when players are fakes online". I dont' care who you are in real life, guy, girl, old, young, etc. Just be nice, don't kill steal or ninja loot, and you can be anyone you want online, that's fine with me.

Pssssst...You'll usually find them on RP servers. :p

You forgot one

The dude pretending to be a girl to get free items and powerlevelling

Most of the time social and sometimes the hater

I'm a Solo Artist, but I don't suffer fools easily -- so occasionally I'll slip into griefer mode if somebody is being particularly obnoxious.

I think.. the main premise behind MMOs is to be social. Solo content is really silly, because there is plenty of games with solo content in mind, and I just don't understand why you want to play a massive multiplayer game by yourself. Elder Scrolls III and Elder Scrolls IV will beat any MMO at this, because they only have to worry about one-player and making ONLY solo content.

MMOs on the other hand, go into a more in-depth setting with 5-6 man groups and 24-40 man raids.. some of them also have extremely fun crafting that you can share the experience with others. Griefing, complaining and other social anomalies are given in any game, but to ask whether most people are social or solo.. I would hope that most are social..

Yeah, I am a Sociial Solo-Artists Glory Hound Crafter myself or a close facsimile.  You take the 80% 'sane' parts from each description and that's my play style.

I like to solo and do quests but I also like to be social.  At the same time I hate being social just to be social.  Unless you are close friend I could care less that you are having problems with your girlfriend/boyfriend or your parents have grounded you.   I like to be social with people I can relate to and have an interesting conversation with.  I do not see the point of being social with a stranger who wants to talk about some inane or juvenile topic.

I like people to know that I am dependable and knowledgeable about the game.  When I succeed in something in the game I like others to acknowledge it and I do the same for them.  I want to earn the respect of my peers in the things that matter. 

I like crafting for the service it provides to others.  I am not in it to make a fortune in some virutal currency but because beign good at it increases the enjoyment of the game for me and for others.

"The Ninja" is a form of griefing. The whole point behind ninjaing loot is to piss people off.

SOLO artist - You play MMO games because they have alot of content, and to make a character and play with friends. You are not really intrested in making new friends with other players They are just kinda in your way alot of the time. You like finishing quests and getting the whole story. You get frustrated and complain when something requires a group. You will join them but only grugingly. Often you skip lower level instances and go back when you can do them alone. You often re-roll and experience all the classes. If someone sends you a message you usualy ignore then, quit often very frustrated. You get very frustrated when people steal your grinding areas.

I pick Solo Artist I guess, though I edited it to describe me better.

none of the others describe me at all.

I'm primarily social. I want to play a game with other human beings with much banter and many a merry jest.  Working as part of a team gives me a sense of satisfaction.  I stopped playing my favorite game, Guild Wars, because it was getting too hard to find pick-up groups.

On the other hand, sometimes I am in the mood to solo.  Maybe I just want to explore and check out the graphics.  Maybe I can't give the game my full attention for some reason and I don't want to hold up a team.

I haven't got the patience to be the best crafter, but I do like to craft.  After all, endless combat is just as boring as endless anything.

Well, sure, and some people corpse camp to pass time by. There's exceptions to virtually everything in the world. However, most ninja's do not follow that logic.
