Have not really read much of the thread, but from what I have it seems just like the one that popped up like 3 weeks ago. Anyways Ill just say what i always say.

I play my game the way that I have the most fun and that is by playing to my utmost capability.

You can play however you like it doesnt really matter to me, however If you are going to party with me, I expect you not to waste my time. I expect the 4 man or 8 man I joined to be a 4 man and an 8 man and not a 3 man and a 7 man. Obviously I cant pick and choose who I party with all the time and am generally tolerant of people that under preform as long as it looks like they are trying. If you dont meet my expectations which are very low upon first impressions then I simply will make a note to not party with you that simple and we can both go and find the group of players we mesh with.
