What is the point of playing DPS..

[YitharV2]

This is one reason why I don't have a FC. In another game I had initially been invited to some guild, and the guild was just inviting people at random, and then it turned out people were joining it just to level, and if you refused them, they left. I didn't want another repeat of that here. I'm choosing to play this game with as little in-game drama as possible. Kick me, and I report the entire party for harassment, because there is absolutely nothing I'm going to say to ask for it. I've also chosen to ignore the Mentoring system, because from that other game, yet again, people would just abuse it to get their experience bonus, and then act like they are entitled to having your constant service afterwords.

If players actually care about completing content, they will make their own sacrifice, either by playing roles they don't normally play, or by forming parties/FC's with like-minded people, not randoms. All randoms ever do is create chaos.

The FC I'm in, or rather the one I was previously in, is one that I was randomly invited to. It was sort of a leveling FC, in that the guy running it wanted to focus on helping newbies out. There were definitely a lot of randoms who just joined for buffs, but I think that's just how it goes. Even so, I found a lot of good friends. What happened is we actually branched off into a new FC because we were more endgame focused. But we still keep in touch with our sister FC. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you never join a FC you definitely won't find the right one. I think you have to take risks to gain something worthwhile. I mean, that's how human relationships work, right?

I was in a really large zerg guild in a previous and I think drama and cliques are inevitable with how large they are. Like our guild leader in that game would be in Officer Chat in TS3 for hours because of drama. I like tightly knit bonds and I don't like the whole clique thing, so I sort of prefer a guild/FC that's smaller sized. Which is what I'm in right now.

But I do hope you find a good FC someday. Because there are a lot of awesome people out there. That's one of the nice things about a MMO. Of course that definitely comes with the bad too.
