	DaveTeMage wrote on Nov 5^th, 2015 at 6:04pm: I mostly solo due to no interest (mainly). I try to pug as much as I can because I enjoy doing quest with other people (i guess it s a distraction on how much some of them suck) but the most of the time it goes: I put up a lfm for a quest or chain. Wait 5-10 min for anyone to show up. End up doing the quest or chain solo due to no interest. Pretty much the only thing I have seen interest in lately is very low levels or epic content, the middle seems to be devoid at best, completely dead at worse. New players mostly fail to make it last level 7-10 I would say. So all you have left are vets who probably don't want or need to join pugs. The problem they have is a vicious cycle. Players put up lfms and get low responses, so they eventually stop. So it appears as though there aren't many lfms for new or social players. The thin playerbase is spread across time zones, play times, servers and even character levels. My guild is mostly US/Canadian players and they tend to play weeknight evenings, because they have families and are busy on weekends. This means most of my guild is on in the middle of my workday, and on weekends when I can play, they're not! Doh! Fortunately I have some overlap with Europe so I do see Flav and a few other Vaulties on.

	Timezones aren't much of a problem for me due to my horrible sleep schedule (read 1 hour nap here and there) and me working graveyard. The no intrerst seems to be across all times (or so it seems) and I have played at 6:00 am at time, 8-9 pm other times and everywhere in between. The main problem is that most/all of the vault is no on Agro lol.

As I walk to the elevators I pass two guards at their desk. They hardly ever lift their heads up to check (I have a badge that lets me through the doors right? so no need to check I guess) well as I walked past I looked over my shoulder and there the two guards are, heads buried deep into first person shooter games on their laptops. The game looked really old school, almost like Duke Nukem LMAO

I was able to get away with playing when they were 2/4/6 (play at night) but now there 10/12/14. homework, dinner and personal time. I find the only time I can really play is like 4-8 am on Saturday/Sunday. And........im fine with that! lol

	palmer01 wrote on Nov 5^th, 2015 at 3:34pm: As for me, I solo simply because I often have to just "walk away" from the game because of family (they come first). That's a large part of it for me too, family or work can pull me away from the game at odd times. Grouping with guildmates is fine because they know if I have to go AFK they cut me slack, but I'm reluctant to join a PUG if I know I may be called away at any minute. I don't want to wreck their fun, and I don't want to get blacklisted over it, so it's usually safer to run with guild or solo, even though I like grouping.

From my experience, the game community has gotten less elitist and drama filled and more chill and accepting of late. I've only seen one time in the last 3-4 months when a guy was so offensive that he caused a party to recall and reform around him. And that guy was spamming party chat F-bombing and MFing everyone non-stop for about 3-4 minutes.

I have no idea, but I do enjoy grouping when conditions are right, so I'd rather not find out. I heard stories on the MB about people getting blacklisted for doing dumb things in quests, and I figured going AFK might count. But the point is largely moot - I don't play that much anymore, and I'm certainly not running anything cutting edge. Mostly I putter through quests I've run a bunch of times before at the rate of 2 or 3 a week. I can duo with a guild mate if one is on, or solo if not. My last PUG was during the last Cove when I had to stay home while my wife visited her mother (yeah, it was a hardship, I had to stay home and play video games).

It's no big deal. You solo while I'm in the bathroom and I'll solo while you're in the bathroom. Getting 10k xp/minute while crapping/cleaning up the kid's crapping is the last remnant of teamwork in this game.

I thought I was safe from this last night - wife was asleep...in the room, but sound asleep. I go to run a quick Broken Chains before bed. Rahmanii- hits up my group, running out to the quest, and BOOM. Wife's up. GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. Sorry, I've got to go man...wife's up and she's PISSED! Teach me to put up groups even when I think it's safe.

I don't really care but my old school mentality is, if they can't show who they are then perhaps they have personal issues that I don't want to be a part of. I solo because most of the people I know rarely play anymore and like I said previously, based on family my time is limited. I like grouping, but its hard yo!

BTW, you probably already know this, but in case not, a Turdbin bug has many non-anon characters listed as anon until you view the Who tab, then the names in the LFM tab resolve correctly.

I didn't know that...was a new bug from after I took a break from the game...so thanks for that. I've just been dealing with the crappy LFM's for a few months now.
