So true! I started playing back in 2007 and I loved the game because of all the parties you could get into, even for just leveling. I quit in 2011 due to some family issues and have finally returned this year. I find that I am now having to solo everything because no one is interested in simple cooperation anymore. most of the people on my server seem to all be lvl 99 already. For those that aren't, such as myself, there aren't any opportunities to meet and join current linkshells and or groups. I wouldn't mind so much if this didn't seem to make the game stale. I loved this game and am trying to tough it out, but it is hard when all the fun seems to have been leeched out of it by these facts.
