Everybody will say yes, but I think it's a double edged sword.

Until we find a way where people won't rely on anonymity to degrade the experience for most people, I'm not sure it's such a great thing. Also, it's really good when you're really friends with everybody you play with. If you make it too easy, most people will just not care.

On youtube I've seen people who have hundreds, sometimes throusands of people on their friends list. They don't know hardly anybody there probably, and they don't care or value it. Maybe if they didn't have that ability, to give themselves a false sense of friendship they'd spend more real time with people that care about them like their family for instance. The Wii is great to play with family and friends for this reason also, if that option was simply considered to be secondary many games wouldn't put emphasys on it. Playing with real people is something you need some encouragement to do.
