    Why don't you own a gaming company?

    There are two reasons to start a group. You really want something or you like starting groups.

    There are a million reasons not to. here are a few. maybe they...:

    Don't speak a common language well
    Don't have time
    Don't like leading
    Think it's too much work
    Think it is not fun
    Don't like people
    Aren't skilled enough
    Prefer to follow
    Have RL things that stop them like (children, needy girlfriends, parents)
    Are terrible leaders
    Don't know a good strategy / set up
    Don't think they can do it
    It's not fun
    It's not worth the effort


    I'm sure you have a few reasons of your own. It doesn't really matter what the reason is. What matters is that people aren't doing it and content shouldn't be based on things that people won't do.

    The biggest one for me not starting a group, is I like to have some first hand experience with an event before spending hours to organize a run for something only read about. As paper and practice don't always work out the same. Plus, having at least attempted an event, gives more insight into what is actually needed to complete it.

    there's also the minor fact that if you are trying to organize a PUG you will be in competition for the same group of players as the other 5 shouting that still haven't filled... after an hour.

    Yep, that's why I also pay attention to how many are shouting for whatever, as does no good to try starting a group when multiple others are not getting off the ground unless crazy restrictions are in place for the other groups. Kinda like trying to form an XP party back in the day, paid to check and see what all was available before trying to piece one together and get key jobs before mass inviting DD's.
