LFMs since the great ban wave of 2018

So, anyone else notice a decrease of LFMs since the ban wave?


Also, a significant decrease in the quality of players in said lfms?

I was on a wizard (level 15) with only 3 fighter past lives and i was wrecking stuff on r1-r3 with just pure damage while most were struggling....

I'm on Cannith and I've noticed two things in the last week:

1) LFMs for epic level content has been decimated.  I only saw one LFM for "dailies" this weekend.

2) Been seeing a lot of names I haven't seen in ages this week; alt accounts appear to have been dusted off.

Gland hasnt seen much change, granted I dont run alot of the lfms just r10s from guild/channel/tells. Raid wise there are still several LH or R1's a day.

The lowbie / tr lfms might have suffered.

Going forward, people should do the massive exploits on their alts. Or quit :p

Khyber hasn't seemed different to me.

P.S.  I don't think the "great ban wave" was all that large.  It just contained a vocal minority and was centered heavily in a couple player communities such that it felt devastating to those communities.

Epic LFM's have been a wasteland since Feb, 2017 when reaper and racial TR came out.   The LFM's run 1-20 and 28+ for the most part.   

So that's nothing new.

Cannith's LFMs had been in the toilet well before the bans rolled out (maybe the hardcore players were too busy exploiting).  I stopped logging in I think well over a month ago because I wasn't as reaper solo-ready on my new life and wasn't finding any reaper groups to pike off of (and my groups weren't filling). 

Back before giving up and the handful of times I've logged in since, the LFMs have been mostly just newbs running basic shit on norm or hard.

Cannith epic and raid/quest scene was going pretty strong in Jan. Has been decimated since ban wave. Not 100% sure these are correlated. 1 group runnings raids got quiet but we still have ‘r10 guy’ and ‘r5+ guy’ running groups.

It’s unfortunate that the reaper scene is primarily driven by 2 or 3 groups.

I'm not sure it is about need.   

I think it is about some people enjoy playing DDO in groups and they enjoy the social aspects of the game.   I could solo through epics and I have great guildies and channel partners I enjoy running with but I know that I enjoy pugging and running with new people on occasion.   

Some people enjoy or prefer soloing.  That's fine too.

I generally prefer running with a group. I like seeing all the different characters and the teamwork aspects. When I can't find an LFM I use a hire and the owlbear/cat but its just not the same.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.
