There are alternate methods. Just like in real life, you can exchange money for goods and services.
Time spent making friends and having fun is never pointless. Time spent chasing after a classic EQ item without caring about developing social bonds sounds like a complete waste of time, on the other hand. In the end you have what, a stat stick that lets you root rot mobs better? And no friends? Lol.
Honestly the remarks about likeable behavior and making friends being characterized as 'quid pro quo' and 'brownnosing' say it all. Extremely cynical, antisocial people who see every relationship as purely transactional. It's a shame that modern video game design tries to appeal to your sort of person instead of just pushing you out on an ice floe to float away.

I mean I guess everyone has their own ways they enjoy the game, but I generally agree with you that in a game like EQ sort of being on your own is kinda pointless. hence why I occasionally raid and don't care about loot at all, just fun to shoot the shit with people and have a good time as a big group.
