My group of real life friends is small enough that we need to PUG out slots to run things, and it's tough to find FC's to partner up with that don't already have their best players committed to a static. I'd say that's the main thing holding me back. I've had a little more luck lately.

OP, I think your post would have come across as less haughty, (or attention seeking,) if you had just asked your questions directly. Your list of accomplishments didn't serve the conversation any.
