If you dont let me self farm. Then im going to mass explore.

Ending result: I have the exact same interaction with the players of EE no matter which method i play. So your point that its hurting the game due to less interaction is invalid.

And im sure this applies to 75% of self farmers. Most of them as ketchup said, are looking for a quick way to net and focus more on socialising. We would play wow if we wanted to play a game for hours every day.
