I'm using a pretty loose definition of group. In your examples in
your email, you cite getting together to trade goods, you cite
forming a guild.

The common statement seems to be "I don't like grouping, I want to
do everything solo." And doing everything solo leads to no social
ties. This is very different from what you are stating, which is "I
don't like grouping because I want to have a short play session and
traditional party-up-and-kill gameplay takes too long."
