There’s no conflict between introverts and the game becoming more tolerant. You can be an introvert and an SJW. You can be an introvert who likes how Kul Turans look. An introvert can be a huge fan of powerful women. And they can still be an introvert nevertheless.
I’ll tell you one more interesting tid-bit: an introvert can be a very chatty person on the forums too. Someone can be an introvert in real life, someone who actively avoids meeting and speaking with real people - but at the same time, they can play a social person in a game. Because in-game, you don’t talk to people. You talk to characters, in a fantasy setting. It is not real.
How do I know? I’m an introvert. If it were up to me, I’d never meet or talk to anyone but my family. If there are more than 5 people (excluding family) in a room, I’ll flee. Yet, I like Kul Tirans, I wish there were more powerful women, and I write a fair amount of stuff on these forums and various discords.
Because I do not meet those people. It’s just text in a game, wildly different than real life.
There are, of course, introverts who avoid social contact in the game too. There’s plenty of solo stuff in the game too. But just like in real life, sometimes you have to meet people. And that’s ok. Challenges and moving outside of one’s comfort zone is fine, from time to time.
In short, tolerance and being introvert are not conflicting things. Nor are introverts discriminated in the game - quite the contrary. Over the years, the game has become more and more introvert friendly.
Introversion doesn’t mean you never ever want to see other people. It means you don’t want to interact with them. During WQs, you just ignore people. You never have to talk with them, help them, or anything. Competing for mobs is like competing with your neighbour for those juicy bits on the internet: who gets to download stuff faster?! It’s not a social thing.
I… doubt that. That’s a title I hold. I, who - even when he wasn’t working from home - never talked to my colleagues in person. I wrote on Slack. Even when they were sitting 1.5 meters from me (oh the horror). They wanted to talk? Too bad. Headphones on, we can write on Slack, byeeee. Eye contact? What’s that? And so on, and so forth.

Is that what SJW means to you… ?

Blizzard should introduce an “Introvert-Mode”, similar to “War-Mode”. An optional feature for us introverts that lets us run all raids and dungeons in a solo-introvert-mode. For those who are a little more brave, they should be able to recruit NPCs to aid them in these solo-raids. But these NPCs must be silent most of the time, we don’t want to get distracted by smalltalks.

Don’t touch your computer for 2 weeks, force yourself to get out every day and make new friends, then come back and tell me WoW is not introvert friendly 
The more time you spend behind your monitor the less you realise how introvert everyone in game is because of how disconnected you are with the real world where people do interact with one another, like in the real.
I am a little bit afraid we lost the definition of introvert here. For starters, it has nothing to do with shy, or a-social like not wanting to talk to others.

Idk if anyone hates it for being PC, I mean can it be kinda annoying to constantly force it, yeah… But BfA is just in general bad. Story sucks, the classes are bad, pvp is a joke, corruption is just bad stand-up comedy. I don’t think people hate BfA cause it’s PC xd

I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring for this! I’m an anthropophobic, introverted, anti-social who chair-dances (and not always chair) to all her favourite music completely alone!!
WoW is my only real social escape thing that I love - my guildies understand that and are really supportive. They did persuade me to join them in a raid recently (which was utterly terrifying - soooooo many people in one group!) but it’s taken me a long time to finally do it!!
So that’s my entry to this challenge!

I mean… you don’t really need to be social in WoW. In so many pug raid and mythic+ groups, saying ‘hello’ is the peak of contact between the players. They treat others like NPCs that are needed for receiving loot. I actually wish people were talking more!

Just to make things clear : mythic plus pugs as they exist today can in no possible way be described as « social interaction ». And you can fully gear up with mythic plus.

Thanks, but I’m not entirely sure what you want to make clear.
My post was nothing to do with mythic pugs - I mentioned that I went on a raid with my guildies.
And what does gear have to do with it?
Could you clarify please?
There’s this thing called “single-player” games. An MMO ain’t it…
I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean to reply to you. People accidentally make their forum posts a reply to someone while they don’t really mean to sometimes. Happened to me too!

Having to deal with other players in order to progress your character is by far the worst thing about WoW.
Nothing wrong with not wanting to waste time on randoms and find “real” friends.
I send messages to my wife and daughter even when they’re sitting in the same room as me.

It did make me afraid when all the players did return. SW were full once more, awful! Into to the void I seek asylum! May darkness and silence return, please!
Aha! But I have neither a wife or daughter! Imagine being social enough to pull that off you big outrovert you!
