For me, thats seems a very odd stance. I don't have meaningful
interactions whilst sat in GFay trying to auction off my rapidly
depreciating items. Just like everyone else, I sit there spamming my
hotkey for hours if I want to shift anything, listening to a load of
bickering level 1-10s.

I hope you don't think thats social interaction?
