I agree with what Citadel said, why bother getting the game if you're not going to share the field with everyone else. I don't understand why you said "there are times when this is disruptive".
- Enemies re-spawn after 10-15 seconds leaving enough for everyone.
- Other players can't kill you or spam your screen with a chat box which does not exist.
- There is no open mic in the game so the only audio should be in game audio or you're friends if you are chatting with them.
- Everyone gets their own loot so no one can steal yours.
- There are special battles/enemies during patrol which is more then difficult dealing with it yourself.
- During story mode when you enter a no re-spawn area the only people with you are teammates in your squad or just you by yourself.
There should be no reason why you can't play the game with some passerby. I mean it's not like they are going in your character face stalking you 24/7 dancing, pointing, sitting, or waving.
