its not that i dont want to party up or cant, the guild i was in has had issues between having to restart 3 times because we couldnt kick people from a LS, then people started to drift away and i dont see a point in trying to find a LS until at least after the server merge. as well i wont be getting too hardcore into it until after 2.0 so i dont want to take up a slot in a LS when i wont really be there.
However, if things keep going they way they are, i can really see myself getting much more involved after 2.0 is released and i will be searching for a good LS/guild to join at that time. until then i have enough bonuses, thanks to changes in rested exp, guild leve allowance changes, and side quests to keep my levels growing while i re-learn how to play.
P.S. cant wait for fighting chocos!
