Eh, I guess another major issue I have is that joining a large shell of strangers with frequent mandatory events would prevent me from doing things with my nebulous collection of friends. It's not so much that I dislike you guys as that I don't know you. My social has 3~4 people on every night, and we can go do things. Sometimes one of us finds out about an alliance event going down, and we go do things in an alliance. Often it's just me dualboxing dynamis and doing Dancer testing.
