Hey all,

Something that I have found extremely frustrating in this game so far is that so many members of the community, on Cerberus EU at least, seem to prefer to PUG endgame content rather than join an active FC and run with regular groups. I don't understand what these people are getting out of the game longterm, as for me one of the greatest sources of achievement and enjoyment has been the group of players I spend my time with, not just getting a relic weapon with a group of people I've never spoken to or, worse, paid to carry me through.

Where is the sense of progression, or achievement? Does this happen because Duty Finder has made it too easy for people to get far into the game without having to speak to or socialise with anyone at all on your server? Is being in a regular group of people really such an inconvenience? Do people just hate playing to a schedule, knowing that when you log in you will have a full group to raid with, rather than hoping you get lucky with PUGS at any given time?

Is it the same on other servers, or am I just unlucky where I am?

I don't see this situation getting any better with the new content coming in 2.1, which will be easier than Coil and again available on Duty Finder.

Please tell me there are still people out there interested in playing these MMO games WITH other people, and who enjoy the laughs and social aspect of gaming? Playing without voice comms seems soulless to me.
