But you have to remember, this is a Korean game and we get their features... processing has been free on there this whole time. I grinded to Artisan 6 processing and still could not keep up with the amount of mats I gathered.
My interaction has been with my guild, not random people in a dungeon finder queue, mainly through guild missions and a few wars. We all get on a boat and go fishing together, kill 7000 orcs/trees, which then usually leads to pvp because we need to push out other people to complete the quest...
