I'm like lvl 56 and have no fucking clue how I play this game WITH people. Discord is useless and a bloated tranny mess, and everyone in the towns are just afk? I thought this was a multiplayer game?

Never played an MMO but I like xenoblade combat and play games mainly for their story. I'm not some freak who sits on discord all day and I dont want to speak to narciscist weirdos so is this game fun to play on my own?
