Well isn't that a funny one. How do you network and connect with people who are silent? How do you break into that secret of club so silent gestures and hidden signals? I suppose it is a secret society that is not likely to accept newcomers, i.e. exclusive.
You really can't read. In the exact post you quoted I said good raiders don't use PF and you respond with thkse people asking for no newb checkboxes?

How do you connect? How do you make friends? Seriously? Let's say I just moved to a new city. I don't know anyone. How do I make friends and connect with people? Do I put up an add on Craigs list "looking for friend to hang out with". Do I call random phone #s with my area code and ask if they want to be my friend? Do you go to the bowling alley by yourself and just look sad hoping one of those other groups of already connected people will take pity on you and invite you over? Then get indigent wheb they dont? No.

You connect with people in game the same way you do outside the game because they are people behind the screens. If you don't have any friends in RL it's not because people aren't being inclusive enough and sitting by yourself hoping some group of friends will randomly knock on your door and invite you into their circle is rediculous. You have to go out and meet people in a human way. Not just put up adds on Craigs list...error party finder. It's party finder not friend finder.

Go. Connect. With. People.
