Absolutely! You hit on something crucial – utility as a gateway! I think framing the metaverse as a *tool* that enhances existing life, rather than an escape *from* it, is brilliant for broader adoption. This shifts the UX focus from “how cool does this look?” to “how does this *help* me?” – fostering a more pragmatic and inclusive initial user base. However, even with practical applications, we *must* design for intentional ‘third spaces’ - those digital water coolers where spontaneous connection can occur *around* shared tasks, not just as an afterthought.
What role do you think 'digital reputation' systems (think verified skills, contributions to projects) will play in fostering trust and collaboration within these utility-driven metaverse environments?

Learned: Practical value & organically-formed social connections are far more compelling than purely simulated social experiences.
