what I'm saying is the merc camp contributes to an overall anti-social vibe on the server where players have less incentive to create social relationships with others. I'm defining "social relationship" in a very vague way as any time a player engages in another activity with another player.

I know what you're saying, I never once said otherwise. I was just stating my opinions and what I have seen, you where the one who decided to be all smarmy.

There are plenty of other ways to socialize and as I already stated above, I have seen such socialization with in merc camp and again as stated above, I think removing or limiting the camp would be a step in the wrong direction. Forcing people to join guilds to train, is something I really don't agree with, no one should be forced to do that if they don't want to. If you remove and/or limit the camp (yes you can still train but you do make it harder) then people will be FORCED to seek out guilds.

Take it how you want, if you can't accept constructive criticism then that's your problem but this is my opinion, I'm not saying it's right, it's just how I see it.
