10/10 shitpost.

When finally destro will understand that with a good group they can farm part of the order zerg and get huge rr, finally exp x3 in middle tier will back! I am sure.

I play in the Oceanic time slot which is just as dead as NA and where Order have outnumbered us for the last few months constantly. I joined a guild of guys from a similar time zone and just group each night with a bunch of people. The groups almost always have shocking group composition because we just play what we want, but you don’t need to have an elite premade to roam the lakes and get kills. Hell, we don’t even have 6 people at times and it’s a rare day we even get a RDPS in the group. It’s up to us to make it work since the issue with NA/Oceanic time zone is a population problem outside the devs control.

That is exactly it.

No one expects anyone to churn out that PERFECT FOTM TROLOLOL 6man, to perform like a god or participate in the epeen circus.
However, one is expected to unterstand the very framework at hand and its limitations, if not to prevent tilt/burnout, then at the very least to prevent the obligatory, ridicoulus demands and complaints that make up 3/4 of the forum.

If the solution to the problem (perceived imbalance of either game mechanics and/or population or potency and "viability of playing a [****] game" [ffs]) is groupplay and one, for whatever mysterious reasons, isn't able utilize said solution, even though others, performing under the same or a smilar circumstances are able to do just that, the issue at hand is neither the initial problem, nor the solution or the circumstances - its either one's expectations or one's antics.

This game isn't serious buisness - this game, just as any other game, can be fun even if you lose.
Its the magic of groupplay - playing with people = fun, smacktalk in voice coms after a loss = fun, bragging and shittalking after a win = fun, casual chatting whilst PvDooring = fun. At the very least its more fun than PvDooring on your own or getting **** on playing roaming snowflake.

If you have trouble finding groups ingame, just go ahead and utilize the other tools at your disposal.
There is not only this forum but, if I'm not wrong an IIRC channel and a discord(?).
Hell, just spread the word on other forums and gaming communities, or among your IRL buddies.

There are, I imagine, plenty of people playing during the NA/Oceanic time - there might not be enough people to yield entire warbands or have big scale RvR fights, or some tryhard epeen circus acts, but there surely are people to group and kill time, if not enemies with.

The solution to all this is incredible simple and abundantly obvious:
Play the game to have fun, (finally) unterstand that to have fun in this game groupplay is pretty much a mandatory requirement or
arrange yourself with it and play the formats you can excel at as snowflake; say solo roaming or PvE, w/e.

If social interaction is such a hassle for you, you might aswell play singleplayer games and do <yourself> a major favor.

E: format and stuff.

request to sticky! Also am I the only one that doesn't get amidala's 'banter'? :p

Amidala's banter pretty much comes down to the very same thing you want to have stickied.
Play in a group, farm snowflakes - enjoy life. As in: stop bitching on the forums, and stop trying to force the devs to change classes based on absolute random encounters devoid of any teamplay whatsoever.

Atleast thats my optimistic take on it - no offense intended either way.

If u cant beat them...join them, but im no sheep and ill keep playing destro.

This sounds far from truth. When the destro players are good, then they won't leave but farm order with organized groups. Better call them bad players.

what the **** did i just read on page 5 ?

^ good players excel in fairweather environments. People that jump ship whenever they face hardship tend to fail as it comes to adapting. Moreso their sentiment and overall morale will be so incredible easy to break that they'll log off once they get wiped right after they jumped ship.

E: Spelling and such.

Atm destro has no really strong active premades so that too is a bad thing.

That won't change for as long there are no people willing to group up to begin with.
I've recently logged a destro alt of mine, started up a group with some randoms...

You can guess how long that lasted, one wipe and all buggered off completly demoralized for no apparent reason whatsoever.

To even get remotely decent you have to either frequently play with each other or at the very least be open to criticism - or well, you know, get over a death in a videogame to begin with.

E: Not to mention how much of a struggle it is to bait out smth as simple as a "hello"...
