@bubbap51:

The person writing in, apparently. And I note that you aren't claiming that you did homework *while* you were raiding. Seems like Dear Reader is in a position where he can still contribute but can't socialize outside of raid or what have you.

@Tirrimas:

Actually, that's the kind of thing I meant by meaningful conversation. Not that it has to be deeply intellectual, just that you have to actually engage with the other people you're theoretically talking to. Sharing anecdotes and commenting on what's going on will help the writer reconnect with his guild; stopping between physics problems to type "grats" and "lol" isn't going to do anything for him.
