Bandwagoning (Rant)

[Kassiekane]

I made my own bandwagon to ride on. I'm not really a leader type person either but it hasn't been too bad. At least I get to decide what kind of group it's going to be when I'm heading it.

I even fell off the bandwagon once, tried someone else's, didn't like it and made one again.

All I can say is, if you have the motivation, you will reach your goals eventually. I've seen people in endgame that joined far later than 2 months into ARR.

That is amazing. I've seriously tried leading groups on multiple occasions, and people quickly stopped showing up.

Do you play on a PC, and if so do you keyboard turn?

Not unless I'm strafing to keep my character facing the boss.

If someone stops showing up without a good reason, I would replace them until I get people who stay. To be honest, it all starts with one person. After you have someone who will stick with you, building the rest of the group is easier when you're not all alone. Being an awesome player also helps. Or having a stellar personality. Even without those, just keep chugging at it. If nothing else, the effort alone should earn some respect in the eyes of other members and that is probably the most important point to make people show up for the next run.


A good group rarely comes together in an evening of PF. Both occasions when I was forming my group, it took a good few weeks to arrive at a solid setup, and it's not once or twice members have been replaced for one reason or another. But the great thing is, if you're the leader, you can decide how to go about the whole recruiting thing. I can assure you that the beginning is the hardest part. After you have a few solid members, keeping the ball rolling isn't all that bad.
