LFG sucks!

[hillgiantchamp]

Is there no groups for non guilded players? Just figured i would get back into EQ again after about a 6 month break. I have a 56 war and a 44 cleric. Spent some time regearing got my complete thurg armor set for my war MQ dirt cheap... Etc etc. Finally go to start leveling. Ran my warrior to sebilis and my cleric to lower guk. Have not been able to get a group for 6 days straight now logging them each in and out over and over for couple hours each day shouting lfg. I always see 15+ people in lguk and 20+ people in seb but never have got one group offer. Sucks having two char so group dependent. Might start a Mage? Most likely just going to quit again now after this rant because LFG sucks in this game. I don't have time for guilds. I figured I would at least get some tells from out of zone needing a cleric or war but never. I'm over it prob why I quit the first time

Can I have your stuff? I'd like a Salindrite Dagger and I figure I need at least 870,000 more plat.

I play late (oceanic) and noticed that Lower Guk is solidly camped by guild groups or people out leveling the area farming specific items (Fbss) which can make it undesirable.

I have found I get better experience solo hunting the lowest blue creatures than any group I have had here.

I have had numerous tells to duo but the first answer is "are you twinked" and my answer is always unsatifactory.

As soon as something goes wrong people camp out.

Its can be a harsh place, all I can suggest is that you try and make a list of reliable people, good groups can make you friends for the future dungeons... until then its going to be rough.

Hope the situation improves for you.

I've been in guk for three days, have not seen a 44 cleric LFG. Sorry pal

Make some friends or be proactive starting your own group?

[MavstabYoudead]

just being lfg and sitting back waiting for a group is lazy. see who else is lfg and get a duo/trio going etc.

Make a monk, they're the best for the LFG meta. Put your LFG tag on, then systematically flop in front of everyone until someone decides they've had enough and leaves.

The longest my cleric has been without a group is 20 minutes because I go afk every four hours for 20 minutes. City of Mist is amazing. Go there.

Lol.

To OP, I'd also suggest CoM if you are looking for pick up groups. We are several years past the point at which Lower Guk was good for pugs. As you have learned generally the only people there are farming or pre-constructed groups. Also, don't be afraid to build your own groups. It is generally quicker because there are plenty of people who don't want to take that initiative (I am generally one of them).

I think you'd do fine.

I noticed on my BDA characters account that Swish sent in an application.

I understand where you are coming from. Even as an essential group class its never been easy finding a group quickly and being unguilded doesn't help. It sucks if your plan is to grind exp and you have to do something else because you can't find a group. If you had money to mq out your war should've just taken him to chardok haha.

Try city of mist on your cleric.

Also Mage only solos well to level 52ish and then not so much. I've never seen a good mage leveling guide that goes beyond lvl 52.

Best solo classes are necromancer and enchanter...

This right here's your problem. There are plenty of casual/leveling guilds out there which will make leveling much, much easier. You're only hurting yourself by running solo.
