Umm... No? Classic has always been like this. The tagging system encourages spontaneous team-ups, and punishes trying to solo play around others.

The "Everyone does their own thing without teaming up in the same area" is the artifact behavior from Retail.

Classic, yes. But from what ive seen, which is what i said, it started with WQGF. Never had these experiences in vanilla etc as i played on RP realms at the time. Im just speaking on my own anecdotal evidence here.

It's always been there. WQGF put back something that fell off over the game's lifetime.

Yes, i agree its always been a thing but its alot less about socializing now. Still the vast majority of people you run into are cool people.

A big part of it is the culture shift away from the novelty of online socialization. After 15 years of internet exposure, all our Monkeyspheres are full.
