Twinks that won't group
 
Nothing wrong but being a twink but whats the deal with people who think they're too elite to group? I decked out my shaman with the double fungi setup and i know all the different ways to solo but Its still better exp to get in a group. I even group with gearless noobs. Stop being snobs people.

I love grouping on my 55 necro, but I would say only 1% of groups give better XP than soloing (especially if you factor in waiting for the party to get together, travel time and setting up camp etc.).

This is even more pronounced in the early levels with heavy twink gear (why party to split an even con XP 6 ways when a geared twink can solo nearly as fast with no downtime? The group definitely won't be killing 6 times as fast in most cases)

Groups are way more fun though!

I am currently soloing lvl 29 Warrior , Gnome Warrior so of course i'm a lil bit better than the rest. Buy Yah.... I like grouping more i'd say for sure anytime.

I'd much rather group than solo. I was in Oasis the other day soloing crocs (I'm level 20) and a group tried to recruit me to do the orc highway. Half of the orcs are green to me now, so I didn't really think it was worth it for me, or for them, might as well continue soloing the crocs.

I just need to get out of Oasis at this point, anyone up for an Upper Guk group tonight? I've never done Guk before, and I've been recommended to go there next.

I used to think somewhat along these lines originally and I think many people do. Basically the train of thought I had(not necessarily saying you have this) is that people should do things for the good of the server and also play eq how it was meant to be played. This means exploring, crafting, grouping with others, just trying to "experience" the game. Helping others as much as possible.

However recently my train of thought has shifted a bit away from this altruistic line of thinking. Sometimes you just want to play a game how you feel like playing it. Maybe you want to twink out an alt and just go solo because you're in the mood to do that. Maybe you just don't feel like putting up with some ass's bs in a group youre in. Etc. I think eventually, especially as the server grows bigger, the game has to be allowed to stand on its own and just be played how people want to play it.

If someone feels like playing the game a certain way it's better to just accept that's what they want to do, and you have to play your own game the way you want to play it. I firmly believe everyone's actions can influence the environment around them. So you need to just play the game you feel like playing and not worry. Everyone is on project 1999 for a reason, it's better to just do what you're in the mood to do instead of trying to influence people around you too much. If you want to only group to 60 with your twink, it is completely viable to do so and there is nothing wrong with playing that way. Others will do the same and you will be able to enjoy the game.

they can play their own way, I can accept that. But they're assholes.
