How often do you log on, not find a group, and then log off?

“As long as 95's have no expectations or feel entitled to groups I have no problems with them asking if they are willing to be ignored.

Within a guild you are more likely to see 110's adding lower level guild members to groups when they have room in their group that isn't needed to do the content. Even then I think it's more appropriate for the 110's to offer a spot then be asked for one.

On the other side of this though I think it is fair to say there aren't a lot of opportunities for level 95's to get level 95 groups. Let's face it most of the players on Live servers are max level and grouping is hard to come by if you aren't at or near max level. Where are these people going to look for groups? Have you checked how many folks are in those level 95 appropriate zones?

I think its great that people like Laronk will add the lower levels when it won't inconvenience him. I do think lower levels like 95's should be getting in guilds where they can build social bonds which will do more to get groups (as long as they aren't going in with the purpose of "must bond with player x" to get group, if its forced people will see through it).”

if someone joins my group, they have to participate. If they intend to AFK in the corner, then they are getting the boot and frankly, when I box I also chain pull, waiting for the merc to cast res disrupts my flow...so they *are* detrimental if they can't survive the zone's named mechanics that i"m fighting. Unfortunately, all of the 95's and lower that I see LFG in these zones also tend to find lots and lots of reasons to AFK as soon as they accept the invite. This isn't acceptable. You want help, you participate. Too many people complaining about these things sit on their thumbs in a group and make you do it for them...nope, no more, not happening. I boot guildies as well if they do that garbage.

I agree , if you take the time to invite peeps into your group and they go afk right soon like then nope . I can understand if you need an afk for a bio or something after like an hour but not right when you get into group .. if you got R/L stuff that requires you to AFK multiple times in a 30min or 1 hour time frame then your better off boxing and making your own group .. then you can AFK all ya want on your time ..

but to ask to join someones group , which likely means they have to drop a merc or a box'd toon then you go afk thats hindering my progress and slow's me down .. Im used to my setup and have a certain flow .. if you want to group dont impede me .. be ready to play and dont die ..

“Oh I forgot to add, here's some good tips if you're willing to try to hijack groups and convert them to your cause.

If you see someone with mercs out (specially dps mercs) try to join their group
If you see someone boxing ask to join his group
If you see someone moloing / soloing ASK TO JOIN THEIR GROUP
Go to the newb grind zone (FM) or the expansion entry zone (stratos) and shout that you're lfg

Most groups don't keep looking for people once they've started unless they're doing something hard. You can still ask these groups to join and they'll let you join.

Use tells, hardly anyone reads say”

This is a thing. Look at who's pulling. They're the most likely person to see your tell. Send it to them.
(A box group is likely only watching tells on their most active toon - the puller is a good choice)

If I have a group spot and it's not going to impact my win/loss (mission) I'm happy to take whatever level.
It's company as we kill random stuff.
And the 95 might be 110 and helping me on something I need help on in the future.

Even a level 95 can make a merc look bad.
