Ok, I can agree with you very strongly on that point. Characters should be rewarded on things other than direct competition and have something that makes them special other than violence. On the rails 100% with you there.
I do believe that there are a lot of ways we can take that, however. What other mechanisms would you like to see in a game that allows your character to interact? Social "skills"? Having special abilities that allow them to make certain kinds of interactions that other characters cannot? Perhaps access to areas, vehicles or some other privilege?
One of my millions of game projects (and one of the few I've actually completed) is a play-by-post system so I'd be very interested in seeing what kinds of interactions you and others would like to see having a "game" element added to.
